Weird Explorer Problem.

Recent Windows Explorer Problem.

When I click on an mpg (or delete one), the screen instantly refreshes and
about every 1 in 4 times this happens, I get the Windows Explorer has
something something a problem and needs to close - you know the message!

Explorer then re-loads and about 50% of the time fails, to load properly
(unable to access anything in the task bar, for example)...I then have to go
into Task Manager, close down Explorer.exe and "Run New Task" to re-load it
(again)...it re-loads correctly in 90% of the times this second time.
Why?

My only clue is Nvidia...a recent driver update? But I don't see the
connection???

Any ideas?

If you suspect Nvidia, because this is a recent problem that began with
the upgrade, consider rolling back to the earlier video drivers - as a test.
