More Information

I have this issue where when I have a folder open and I play something or open something else, I would get this error message telling me Windows crashed and needs to shut down the program which happens to be explorer.exe. Sometimes I would get it, sometimes I won't, its a toss up. But when it happens, my taskbar disappears and then reappears. This is very very annoying. Is there something wrong with my files? I really don't want to reinstall everything...

I copied the error message I got:

AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.3156 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 04fa18ef
