Explorer crashes when I open my doscuments folder in Vista Home Pr

My Dell system was getting slow, so I did a re-image of the original install
which Dell provide on a seperate partition. All went well until I open my
folders and explorer crashes giving this information;

Problem signature:

It points to a kb article with a fix which when applied says does not apply
to my system. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Simon,

Have you installed all of the patches and driver updates for your system
since reimaging? That'd be the first step. Explorer crashes are generally
caused by interference from another program. If the re-imaging process
reinstalled trial programs you previously removed, you may want to uninstall
them as well.

Some 3rd party shell (on right-click menu) extensions or additions can
cause Explorer to crash. I haven't seen a lot of useful additions to
this menu so you're probably better off without them.

I have this same problem except the Fault Module is different. It used to be
once or twice a day but now it is constant.
