Explorer.exe crashes ( toolbar disappears - then comes back , search window disappears ) when I perform a search for a file and click on "All Files and Folders".
Once I click on "All Files and Folders" I receive the popup window "Windows Explorer" with a message "Windows Explorer has encountered and problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconevience."
If I dont click on "Send Error Report" or "Dont send" button - I can perfom my file search. The error windows will hang aroudn and stay in the foreground until I click either of the two buttons. When I click either one - the error windows disappears , so does the 'search' window and the taskbar disappaears , but then is repainted ( as if explorer.exe restarted).
A look in the event log shows this error message :
Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.3156, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.1.2600.3119, fault address 0x00012a5b
I performed a 'sfc.exe /scannow' to verify all the system files are good - nothing is reported and the scan completes.
Anyone have any ideas as to the issue ?
