    the explorer right click issue has happend since always and yes off a fresh format. as for the MMC issue only started occurring along with the explorer issue after this format and after the reliability patch update. before that it was only the right click issue. as for the dumps que folder only has one dumb from a long time ago and its produced multiple error reports so i don't believe its working as it should. weird thing is not even the event viewer is picking up the MMC errors or the explorer ones now... like the shell will restart itself randomly on right clicks and during that time if i proceed to go to event viewer then the MMC errors will be displayed. not sure what i could have possibly changed.
    Sorry dude, I keep on being distracted by other issues, but I'm quite intrigued by this issue and I really do want to try to help - if I can.

    Could you please try going through this alternative procedure to try to obtain some dumps:

    Explorer crashing when deleting files

    It may also be useful if you start a separate thread. This one's technically dealing with another person's crashes, and they may not stem from the same root cause.

    I would have to agree with the previous posters that this issue seems to be related in some way to Firefox. I have done clean installs of Windows 7 RTM (x64) and Vista x64 on two separate computers and I have had the issue the OP described happen exactly. After removing Firefox from both systems, the issue has disappeared.

    Out of curiosity, has anyone submitted a bug report to Firefox's bugzilla?

    I've had the same problem with windows explorer crashing, I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I have not installed Firefox at all with 7 HP 64bit. So for myself it doesn't seem to be related to Firefox. Maybe it's a ghost...

    me too when I completed installed W7 HP x64 without install anything and it still crashing - seem to be the OS problems like ntdll.dll that what i looked up in my own system -- it could be the Win 7 itself that may have cause problems in dll files

    Lucky, when you reinstalled Windows 7, did you run all of the Windows updates before this happened, or did this occur from a clean install with no updates?

    i believe all of these errors are probably linked together and that ur assumptions are correct and that my problem is strongly similar enough to this guys to not need the new thread. when one symptom occurs they ALL happen at the same time until it clears up.

    Up to you of course, but story-based crash troubleshooting is almost always pointless. Everything that starts off with "my grandma had that problem too, and then she uninstalled XYZ" is a well-meaning but misguided attempt to skip the "diagnosis" and go straight to the "solution" phase. Since nobody (yet) knows precisely what's causing your crashes, all proposed solutions are just wild stabs in the dark.

    I would challenge that. A big part of troubleshooting is pattern recognition. When the "story" is reasonably complete with the appropriate details (ex: when did it begin, what have you tried, when does it seem to occur, etc.), it can be possible to easily link it to an existing issue. While it may not determine the exact cause of the issue from a programming point of view, it does have a high likelihood of rectifying the issue - which is quite frankly the only thing we as end users care about.

    Sure, except the story is entirely incomplete in this instance. There are X posters, Y separate problem permutations, Z suggested "resolutions" - all superimposed on top of each other into a waveform which is quite inscrutable without some serious "social fourier analysis" :)

    I think what you're advocating is the trial-and-error approach. Nothing wrong with that, under many circumstances. However, the more complex the problem, and the greater the number of moving parts, the more difficult it becomes to guess the correct answer based on the "story so far", and the more impractical it is to "shotgun" (obliterate) all possible problem causes.

    I sincerely wish you luck with your chosen approach.
