Explorer.exe problem

I get a simular problem where the Quick Launch will stop working. The Start
Menu will malfunction. Restarting DWM. or Explorer will fix it. Could this
be a bug?

IS MS aware of this probelem. It happens often when the computer is left on.
Most of the time it will happen, Explorer.exe is the culprit..

I am also having the same problem. Vista Business, clean install, Nvidia Ge-force 6800 video card. I have tried updating all drivers etc. nothing seems to help. This is the first forum I have found that describes the problem, unfortunately I have not found the answer yet. Hopeful someone will figure this out and post a fix.

Hello,

I'm new but I just wanted to express that I too have been experiencing these explorer.exe crashes as described here with increasing frequency lately. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Hey guys Ive also been having the same exact problem. I don't know whats causing it. Ive actually just reinstalled vista, clean copy with nothing installed. It happened 30 min into it. I left the computer alone came back, boom explorer glitch/crash w/e it is. This semi-invisible taskbar with it being all over the place. I didn't have this problem with RC1 RC2 but it was in the preview. I cant find people with the same problem, nobody knows what Im talking about. Its not the same problem as others have, where it says explorer has stopped working and restarts. It still thinks it works.I hope somebody can help us. I am going to take a video of what happen when I can to show people whats going on.

I suggest that you run your AV and Maware tools. This issue is indicative of a Malware\Trrojan

Do the preparatory steps here:
