Windows Explorer has Stopped Working
Yes, I am aware that Win 7 is out of date.
I cannot afford to upgrade, and this machine would not run an upgrade.
Machine is HP p6710f, running Win 7.
Problem: constant crashes when I am running a computer game, and streaming Amazon Prime video at that same time.
The Windows key sometimes will switch me back and forth between the movie and the game, but frequently does nothing.
I then have to hit CTL ALT DEL and hit "switch to" to change.
SFC scannow found no errors

Extremely frequently, the game and/or the video freeze up. I extremely frequently get the error message "windows explorer has stopped working".
Well, I've tried a bunch of "fixes" listed on Google, and I still get this error. What is windows explorer, and WHY does it keep crashing my game?
Game is downloaded from Steam website, and is named "Company of Heroes Tales of Valor"
I've tried updating the drivers, and nothing will update.
I am aware that with many computer games, you are supposed to ONLY run the game and turn off all background processes. I don't care. I want to switch back and forth between the game and Amazon Prime streaming video. Frequenly. Without these constant crashes.
I've tried using Firefox instead of Chrome. I've tried going into processes and it always shows that I have a HUGE amount of free RAM, even with the game and the streaming running.
And no, there is ZERO support for this game.
