I was wondering if anyone can help me!!!!
When my pc starts up it loads everything then says windows ex has to close any ideas
AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00000000

this comes up

You need to provide more information.

What operating system are you running?

What applications are starting up at boot?

Have you scanned for viruses/spyware?

When did this error start occurring and did you change anything just prior to its occurrance?

Have you looked in the Event Viewer to see what might have caused this?

BTW
Welcome to TechSpot

Attach the following file here and it is the most useful debugging information
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\drwtsn32.log

i have the same problem as will1am3 when browsing thru folders, at a certain point i get the message that windows explorer has problem and needs to close.I can continue to access my folders for a brief time but then explorer.exe will crash and restart.
im running xp3 and have current updates and virus/spyware free.

poertner_1274 mentioned the dr watson log so i will attech it here. it lists SP2, but i just imstalled sp3.Thanks for any advice!!
