Explorer Crashes

I am runnning Windows Vista and whenever I use explore to transfer files, the
window crashes. It states "windows explorer has stopped working" and then
states that its restarting (but it never does).

Here is the problem details:
Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp
0x4549b091, faulting module SHELL32.dll, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp
0x4549bdb4, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0029b83f, process id
0x16dc, application start time 0x01c7c2146e22d228.

Can anyone help??

Sorry, I hope you don't think I have the answers here but what you are having
problems with is "exactly" my problem! I bought a new computer a few months
ago and yet I'm still often going back to my old one (with no cd rom!) that
has xp because I cannot literally even touch anything on my desktop even.
When I'm not in Windows Explorer at all - just on the desktop - over and over
again I keep getting "Windows has encountered an error" etc, and I mean
literally ever minute or so, no longer. I recall reading somewhere that "dep"
may have something to do with it. (Whatever that really means, I don't know,
but it's like data execution prevention.) It stops some programs from running
if they think they are not safe which is a little hard to understand when it
does it to the most important programs that you use. It does say that dep can
be enabled or disabled but there is a risk of virus attacks more. Big help, I
know! I have to say I don't like Vista at all and want to learn to multi-boot
and replace it with XP. (They say it's not for the faint-hearted so I'm
wary!) Please, doesn't even Microsoft know the answer? I've watched my pc sit
on the floor for the past few months off and on because I can't work with it.
For now, I chose a workaround I guess, and downloaded "Universal Explorer"
which is great, doesn't crash, but I can't leave it to go to my desktop
either. Hope somebody out there can help us all. Good luck!
