Posted October 14, 200816 yr Windows XP Pro SP2: Explorer.exe windows keep crashing even when not actively in them. The Explorer.exe window is open in the background and it will randomly crash. The screen goes blank for a second and the task bar and start button disappear then come back. Event Type: Information Event Source: Winlogon Event Category: None Event ID: 1002 Date: 9/24/2008 Time: 1:35:04 PM User: N/A Computer: AZ25 Description: The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted. Event Type: Error Event Source: Application Error Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 9/24/2008 Time: 1:34:51 PM User: N/A Computer: AZ25 Description: Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.3156, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x00018fea I ran sfc /scannow to restore all invalid system files (No help) I ran REGSVR32 NTDLL.DLL but got the error (RegSvr32 Ntdll.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered.) I have uninstalled Acrobat 8 and installed Acrobat 9. The problem seemed to go away but appeared again just a little while ago. I'm certain the Fix is a corrupt Context Menu handler. If I could find it and delete it from the registry, it may work. -- Drew "suzanne_gilbert" wrote: > I receive these errors frequently, when programs close unexpectedly.
