Windows Explorer has Stopped Working...

[GTghost]

Anyone got a solution to Windows Vista "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and "Windows Explorer is restarting"

It keeps looping over and over again and I cant use my main PC because of that.

I tried Restoring to yesterdays Restore Point and it is still doing the same thing.


My solution is to just install Windows XP.

But seriously, anyone know a real solution?

Sounds like a re-install of the OS. operating system.

its a virus, its really hard to get rid of it, suggest reinstall.

Sounds like you have something smothering in registry or something recently installed is causing issues.

Prefer you do virus checks and clean your temporary files, registry and such
Here a simple tool to clean temporary files plus registry;

-- If that doesn't help, you can check the little more advanced software below.

Slightly more advanced tools;
Depending if you have F-Secure Security Suite, you can't use the next links due compatiblity issues;
* Ad-Aware, free edition
* Spybot S&D
- Should be rather easy to use as well. Remember to make registery back ups before using the tools to clean anything.
