    explorer.exe randomly crashing (build 7100)


    Hello,

    From time to time when I click on the Computer shortcut, the info bars about HDD size and free space do not show up, and when I try to exit Windows Explorer or enter one of the hard drives, explorer.exe crashes. I'm running on Windows 7 beta build 7100 which I installed on a formatted drive (didn't update from XP to 7 or anything like that). I also have the additional czech language installed from Windows Update, but that shouldn't have any impact on explorer.exe functionality... riiight? I tried to run the /sfc scannow command in cmd, but it didn't find anything wrong.

    Any idea if I could fix explorer.exe somehow without having to reinstall Windows 7 (that's something I'd REALLY like to avoid, since setting up the OS and all the apps is quite a pain in the ... you know what )?

    System specs:
    OS: Windows 7 build 7100
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+, 2.91GHz
    RAM: 4,00 GB (usable: 3,50 GB)
    GFX: nVidia GeForce 9800GTX+, 512MB

    As far as I know, build 7600 RTM is not officially out yet, it's just a leaked copy which needs to be cracked to work more than 30 days, which makes it an illegal Windows 7 copy, and I hate illegal software, especially OS.
