    Explorer crashes


    Hi there,
    I have windows 7 Home premium 32 installed on a partition (C) of my hard drive, using another (D) for non-system files.
    A few weeks back I started to get explorer (not IE) crashing. No problem with any programs running but I would have to go back and open a new file browser which can be annoying when working.
    Following the instructions on this site I am uploading here a dmp file.
    I have already run malwarebytes, AVAST, cccleaner on registry, disc check and sfc /scannow - still have the problem. Both partitions have 1% or less fragmentation, the C drive is 75% full (20.4GB free of 80GB) and D is similarly 75% full (63 free of 207GB).
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks in advance,

    Daniel

    Separate Process


    I reinstalled my operating systems in September.
    The only real change I made was swapping from AVG to Avast.

    My Windows Explorer has crashed regularly ever since.

    As a workaround, I selected "Launch folder windows in a separate process" ("Folder Options" > "View" tab).

    It means that when Explorer crashes, it doesn't cause havoc with the programs that start at login.

    Oh great!
    I'm using Avast.
    I already have that checked under folder options.

    It might not be related to Avast.

    I haven't heard other members complaining about Explorer problems related to Avast.
