Windows Explorer Is Not Working/Windows explorer is restarting Loop
Sorry for starting a thread on this, but from reading about my problem online it seems like a different set of circumstances causing this for each person. So here's what I can tell you.
I was going through and deleting stuff off my hard drive, trying to clear up space and get things a little more stream lined and after uninstalling a program called iLivid I got the "Windows Explorer is not Working" error. As Windows Explorer restarted itself I wasn't too worried having had this happen before. About 2 seconds after Explorer restarted I got the "Windows Explorer Is Not Working" error again, once again letting it restart itself. After it restarted itself the error popped up immediately and now seems to be an infinite loop. I tried restarting but shortly after the computer loaded up it happened again. So now I'm in Safe Mode and the computer is usable. I tried using the System Recovery which let me go back to right before iLivid was uninstalled. Upon completion I thought I had it fixed but 2 or 3 minutes after loading up it happened again. I have about 2-3 seconds between each cycle, enough to maybe open an Explorer alternative allowing me to see and open my programs while not in Safe Mode, but with the error windows constantly popping up running in normal mode is basically pointless.
I've ran the SFC and it hasn't help. Like I said above, I've tried System Recovery to no avail. I've tried fixing the registry, still nothing.
