Hi

Vista Ultimate - fully up to date

Just recently, after using for several months, I am getting a pop up dialog
telling me Windows Explorer has stopped and do I want to restart it. I
always choose restart and it will happily restart until the next time -
which could be anything from 2 min to an hour. Also, it seems to be invoked
quite often when I try to open a folder to view contents, but is not
consistent in that I may open a folder several times and then Windows
Explorer will stop on the next attempt.

I can't pin down any particular function that will cause this, it has
happened at all sorts of times, once even on restarting Vista after a Vista
Update required it - sometimes Windows Explorer will just stop when I am
reading email / surfing / playing solitaire etc - doesn't seem tied to any
particular operation.

Anyone hint at a fix? Or, perhaps, what/how to repair with an OEM
installation CD?
