**Windows explorer has stopped working.**

It seems MS has a major problem with this, as I too am getting this error,
then it corrects it's self. In my case:

Newly built PC running Vista Home Edition....
All the latest Vista drivers.....
Checked for the "Digital locker" problem in the faqs and don't have it...
Ran Norton (latest updates) no viruses or malware...

None of the other posts under this topic seem to be the cause either...
If anyone has found out something new might as well post here as I've tried
everything short of emailing tech support and blowing my 90 days on one
issue....
Am beginning to think there should be a group action lawsuit against MS for
charging for email after the 90 days from the first request. It seems to be
in MS's best interest to produce software with bugs (although I doubt they do
so intentionally), then charge for support... Seems like as buggy as Vista is
they should privide "Free" tech support at least for the first 3 years of
it's release and "free" email support forever as it seems many "Fixes" seems
to cause problems as well....

Can't wait for SP1...... Wheeeee!!!! (sigh!!!)

From the small amount of information you supply all I can suggest is to
totally uninstall Norton and then run this utility:
