Windows explorer closes with unknown software exception error

[pooh53]

Hello,
This problem only seems to happen when I am trying to look at images stored on a USB flash drive (any, not a specific one)or in my Pictures folder on C: drive and sometimes when I am trying to attach an image to an Outlook email. I get the messsage "The exception unknown software exception (0x0000002) occured in the application at location 0x7628fbae".
I searched internet and found articles that suggested my HP printer drivers could be the problem so I uninstalled all HP software to no avail. Also uninstalled IrfanView in case that was the problem. Also to no avail. Does anyone have any clues.
