screwed explorer

[piterdevries]

my problem goes like this: whenever i cut/copy/paste/delete files, explorer randomly crashes then something pops up saying stuff about Dr. Watson Postmortem Debugger. Then I open up task manager and manually restart explorer.exe in the New Task button.

This happens randomly, like in 4 out of 10 actions.

Check for spyware/viruses?

What version of windows are you using?

I bet that Dr-Watson thingy has made an entry to your eventlog from where you can find the application that is causing those errors ;)

sorry for the late reply

Windows XP Professional SP3

Nope no spyware/virus

There's also that chance that even the mere task of SHUTTING DOWN MY COMPUTER triggers the Explorer crash

right click on My Computer, then go to Manage and in the first section you find the Event Viewer. :)
