Windows Explorer Crashes

[Nadhe]

After upgrading to windows vista my system is not working fine. I was having xp before but somehow the system is not working well. After upgraded the system started well. But somehow when I try to access my files in the partition Explorer.exe just crashed. I had tried to open the same a number of time but it simply crashed by giving a error on the screen. How can I fix this. I cannot even run system restore. It is a newly installed operating system and giving out problem.

Try to run a repair setup. This never happen on a new pc. When you format your pc and install everything back, the system just work fine. There can be problem with the drivers. But the issue that you had mentioned occur mostly due to virus or invalid system files. Just again insert Vista disc, boot your system with that and then run a repair setup. The repair setup will replace the system files and it will work well. There will be no issues with the same.

Boot your system in safe mode first. Then go in Event Viewer and checkout the error description. You can find that inside Administrative tool in control panel. You can just paste the complete log report here. That will be simply enough to fix the problem you are facing. It is better if you run the setup back again from scratch. That will be more helpful I think. It will wipe out damage file and restore it back. But if you get the same error again after installation then the problem lies with the setup.

First go in Safe mode. Launch cmd and in that type sfc /scannow. This is a system file scanner which will check your system for bad files. It works really well. It is one of the best way to fix the problem faced in windows. SFC can take long time to scan the system and might also ask you for the windows disc if it require to replace any file. Just keep the disc ready. If this does not work then I will recommend you to change your software cd. I think that will be more beneficial here.

I think the problem lies with the setup disc you are using. You are getting problem due to that. It is quiet important that you must simply run a clean system format first. I hope you are not using a pirated version of windows xp. If you are using then this errors are common because they are patched edition and has ample of damage system files. After setup just try to run windows update in safe mode and also update all the drivers. That would be simply ok to fix the issue.
