    Explorer crash!


    Hey guys, im having a really strange problem, that when i right click anywhere, my explorer crashes. I was certain that it was FF that was doing it, and no different this time uninstalled it, but odd as it is, the crashing still continues to occur, and i now haven't got a clue why, anybody know what i can/need to provide so i can find out whats causing these crashes? Its ever so consistent i'm about to rip my hair out!

    H2SO4. Info collected from various posts for your convenience ;) said:
    This is possibly the simplest and most reliable way to extract the info necessary to understand the crash without too much guesswork:

    If you go through the following to obtain a memory dump generated during the crash, someone may be able to tell you why Explorer is behaving that way:

    1) Download and install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit "Debugging Tools" package, depending on your OS type: Debugging Tools for Windows - Overview

    2) Open a CMD prompt and CD to the folder where you installed the debugging tools.

    3) Run this command:

    cscript adplus.vbs -crash -nodumponfirst -minionsecond -quiet -pn explorer.exe

    4) Reproduce the Explorer crash.

    5) Find the new folder in that same location with a DMP (memory dump) file.

    In that dump folder you may find 2 DMP files:

    1) A massive one (hundreds of MB) with "1st_chance" as part of its name.
    2) A much smaller one (few MB at most) with "2nd_chance" in the name.

    It's (2) that I'm primarily interested in right now. Zipped up, that file may only be a few hundred KB in size - small enough to upload here.
