    Start > Search crashes Windows Explorer


    Please geeks, tell me what to do!

    I tried to search something. Clicked Orb, started typing. As soon as I enter the first letter, Explorer crashes. Happens now every time, so search is at the moment useless.

    Here`s problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: BEX64
    Application Name: Explorer.EXE
    Application Version: 6.1.7100.0
    Application Timestamp: 49ee974f
    Fault Module Name: StackHash_3e32
    Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
    Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
    Exception Offset: 0000000000000000
    Exception Code: c0000005
    Exception Data: 0000000000000008
    OS Version: 6.1.7100.2.0.0.256.1
    Locale ID: 1033
    Additional Information 1: 3e32
    Additional Information 2: 3e32c32078d3c69f7059bc7390f423d0
    Additional Information 3: ea00
    Additional Information 4: ea00f25f811c1e522510a5793fc2d150


    To make this issue more bizarr, I noticed that if I type very fast, Explorer wont crash and I can see my search results. Also this every time, I mean typing very fast no crash, typing i.e. one letter crashes every time.

    I am not so fast to type, so I really need help.

    EDIT: I just noticed I can still search using search-field in any open Explorer-window, so my indexing should be OK. But like I said, if I try Start Menu > Search, Explorer crashes every time. Weird!

    Hi Kari,

    This might seem a strange question, but what virusscanner do you have running?

    MSE, Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Can you stop that service and test again?

    BEX64 error seems to be related to DEP, and virusscanners can have negative effect on it, even MS own.

    Good luck

    Funny and weird. I stopped MSE and tried, it works. No crash. I start MSE and try, crash. Can not be true that I should make a choice: either use virus protection and not be able to search, or without protection but able to search.

    This is really interesting!

    As usual my genesis friend is correct abt BEX64 being related to DEP and buffer overflow. there is a description on technet but no solution. Im wondering what event viewer app, and system have abt errors.

    IŽll play with this issue tonight, wife is away and whisky stock full. Please guys, do not misunderstand this but honestly I kind of like this type of problems. Nothing is so refreshing to your brain than a real problem and hunting for a solution!

    It`s not so big deal now when I know I can do all my searches normally from Exlorer-windows search box. It`s just a bit annoying.

    It's like my doctor, when I tell him it hurts when I touch this or that.

    Don't touch it he always says.
