Guest Dreamchaser Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Dear MVPs and all, Hey people. I have good news following my previous post. My exlorer.exe still crashes frequently with unknown fault module. I've tried the sfc /scannow and searched for viruses/malware/spyware using updated Symantec Corporate Edition 10.5, Spybot, as well as cleaning up the Trojan.Vundo using tools from Symantec. BUT, I can now replicate the crash. It happens whenever I exit My Computer, Control Panel, or any folders then I'll have an error screen it restarts explorer.exe. Pored over solutions on the net and set "Launch folder windows in a separate process" (problem solved except when closing Temporary Internet Files accessed from IE, don't think IE is the culprit) Now it crashes whenever I close the Network Connection window (Start > Connect to > Show all Connections). The desktop flicker for a split second (just like when we press F5 to refresh it) before error message appear. Could you all please assist me? Thank you.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

Guest Bill in Co. Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Re: Explorer.exe crashes frequently - errors replicated You could always consider System Restoring back to a restore point preceding this.

No thanks real truth mvp. Now, can I replace the explorer.exe with another copy? Since explorer is running, I can't copy the new one to it. Any ideas how? Need to back it up too.
Guest Bill in Co. Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Re: Explorer.exe crashes frequently - errors replicated Did you try System Restore? If so, you don't need to "replace" explorer.exe, which in all likelyhood, you can't do anyways, since it's an in-use system file, and what's more, is probably not the real problem here anyways.

Thanks lots Bill & Co., thanks everyone. Problems solved with system restore. Just that many uninstallations were undone. Thanks anyway!

Yes, that is the drawback, but you can always reinstall those again.
