From: Rob on
Things seem to be running ok now for what ever reason. I have not changed any
settings, I have updated some software though like ATI all in wonder drivers
and Mcafee Internet Security Suite 2006.

From: Rob on
Well it happened again windows explorer crashed. After reporting the error IE
opened and said that I needed to delete temp files in IE, and gave a link to
download a utility to do delete the files. I did as before, this time I hope
it works. But I am puzzled that why would I have to delete IE temp files when
windows explorer crashes?
