Windows Explorer Keeps Crashing

[djspitfire]

Hello my windows explorer keeps crashing when i open folders sometimes the whole screen goes to the desktop with no message. Sometimes i get a "xxxxxxxx memory could not be written message" and sometime i get a "explorer.exe has stopped responding message".

I am using windows xp home. And i have 1 gig of memory so i know it is not lack of memory on my system.

It isn't download and run this (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&displaylang=en)

Also uninstall any downloaded toolbars and check for spyware.

my system is detecting a new version of the program and will not run the install file

then go to plan b, see antivirus forum.

Win XP Pro (non-hax0red edition) possibly? In other words,.. is this a legitimate copy of Windows running because if not, then it won't install SP1.
Try http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and just run what you can.
