Explorer.exe keeps crashing

Firstly, apologies if I am posting at a wrong thread or if a thread is already existing with this issue.
Issues:
Explorer.exe keeps crashing after I installed an addin on my outlook 2007. The same Outlook addin on another computer with same Windows 7 does not cause the explorer.exe to crash. I have captured crash dumps and I see the following:

Hi,
Firstly, using !analyze -v command to generate a results of this crash events. We can see

Here we should remember the end address and region address. Then using !address command to displays information about the whole address space. After that, check above address around process if there is any program that may caused the crash.

really helpful. Cannot understand why Microsoft were pushing me to update from poorly performing windows 8 to complete nuisance windows 8.1. My hardly earned money were spent on a product that causes me massive headache.
Unfortunately Microsoft does not allow me to post the link to skydrive where I keep the dmp fo review. Another great gift from them.

Windows 8 explorer.exe keeps crashing and I can't use Windows update as a result!

I've got Windows 8 64-bit, and it's been running fine for about 2 months now. Just today, it's started to crash the desktop every 6 seconds. The screen goes purple (which I'm pretty sure is just my chosen background colour), the outline of the taskbar remains,
but all the icons disappear, and then everything returns, only to crash again in another 6 seconds. I've watched the task manager, and under "background processes", an icon called "Windows Problem Reporting" appears for about a second,
and then goes away.
I've looked up some other people's questions about this, and most people seem to recommend checking for updates, or installing new graphics drivers, but this is not an option for me. Whenever the desktop crashes, it shuts down control panel as well. This
means I can't start my computer in safe mode, I can't check for updates, I can't uninstall/update drivers, I basically can't make any changes to my computer! Even as I'm writing this message, the cursor keeps disappearing from the test box whenever the desktop
crashes, and I have to click on the screen every 6 seconds. ARGH!

I crash is caused by the Intel driver:

So update the driver or use ShellExView to disable the Intel shell extension.
The second crash looks like a corrupted shel32.dll on the HDD:

work with them. Chatted with HP, they said it was an OS issue.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Explorer.exe (?) crashing without warning, closing all open programs

Hello! I recently got a windows 8.1 computer and have been using it for only a week, but I've been having issues with what I can only assume is explorer.exe.
The taskbar will randomly completely disappear, leaving only a blue empty space at the bottom of the screen (possibly getting rid of my desktop background as well), close every program I have open without warning aside from the one I'm using at the time
(generally google chrome) and doesn't seem to restart itself on its own. I have to ctrl+alt+del to get to the task manager to manually start explorer.exe again, which works without an issue aside from possible lost unsaved progress from the closed
programs. I don't get any pop up saying windows has encountered any errors, it just does it for maybe no reason.
I can't think of why it would be doing this because again, I've only been using it for a week. It doesn't happen often, it's done it maybe two or three times but it seems it might not be stopping any time soon. I checked the reliability monitor and
it doesn't seem to recognise this issue as anything, nothing shows up for this. Any help to resolve this would be much appreciated, or even just finding out why it's doing it. Thank you!

Hello bwbutler,
Is this issue still exist when the AVG is removed?
If so, this issue is caused by the AVG.
If the issue still exists when the AVG is removed, please try to use clean boot.
If the issue doesn’t exist in the clean boot, please check the third-party software.

NclIVTBTSrv.exe Keeps Crashing

Hey everyone,
I installed yesterday PC Suite v7.1.26.1, and managed to work with my phone. In usability and functionality everything is ok.
The problem is that I keep getting NclIVTBTSrv.exe "Crashes". For example, yesterday when I tried to close the bluetooth icon in the system tray (I had exited PC Suite first), and today when I logged on (I have PC Suite running on start-up), I got NclIVTBTSrv.exe crash messages from my explorer.
Has anyone got any ideas? I would appreciate your input.
I'm running Vista Home Pr 32.
Thanks.
TrDo.

Thanks al_lea.
I don't think that switching back to an earlier version will solve the problem. I have been trying to run PC Suite on my pc since January 08. I remember back then, I had to install and unistall 13 times to make this lousy piece of software to work.
It's the only program that irrespective of its version it always creates problems on my pc. Imagine that I have 121 programs installed and none of them crashes twice a day..lol...
I wonder if this company will ever develop a decent software program without issues... At the moment I'm sure Nokia feels that they are doing us a favor by providing us this free piece of JUNK.
I would say...Get your act together guys...People are fed up with your lousy piece of software you call PC Suite amd with your NON-Existant Customer support ......"service".. You are a joke!

Hi,
Sometimes, a RDP crash on connect can be caused be local device such as printer (with a bad driver), so we can test to disable the "printers" check box on your Remote Desktop Connection by navigating to Options>Local Resources>Local
Devices and resources, connect again.
I also suggest you temporarily disable anti-virus software installed in your system.
Keep latest Windows Updates to get best perofrmance.

What is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe keep crashing computer.grrr

last week pc worked fine...
this week downloaded 3.6.4 firefox and everything now crashing cant use u-tube or or listen again facility...
come on fire fox get your act together...

The Malwarebytes web page is available. I just checked it, so the problem is somewhere on your end.
That '''''Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED)''''' makes '''rjohnson19''''s suggestion valid. I did not see that in your initial post.
Did the problem start ''<u>'''immediately'''</u>'' following your un-install of McAfee and install of Norton?
Did you use the McAfee removal instructions (including the McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool (MCPR.exe))? See: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507
Note that Norton also has a removal tool: http://service1.symantec.com/support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
*Is Norton properly configured for Firefox? See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls
*Are you having problems accessing any web sites other than anti-malware sites?
*Have you tried updating Norton? Does it update?
*Try going to the McAfee site and see if you can get in.
*Did you try to download Malwarebytes from another non-infected computer at another location as I suggested?
*You may also need to access that Malwarebytes forum page from another non-infected computer.
*Call a friend, give them the addresses and see if they can access both of the Malwarebytes addresses.
*If they can, then that will confirm what I suspect; that you have a malware infection that will keep you from downloading, installing or updating anti-malware applications.
If this is being caused by malware, you may need help from one of these expert sites (all free, just read their requirements and follow the instructions they give you):

So get this problem fixed please and admins please answer to this discussion!!

Explorer.exe Keeps fatally shut down PC

Right, here's the deal, running a Medion w/ p3 2.66ghz Pentium for 6 yrs. no prob. Comcast upgrades its service now IE6 wont work right. I update to IE8 (cause 7 sucks) got all issues there corrected, only now I can't access my 2nd. Hard drive (mp3 library) without it locking up windows explorer and crashing the system. When I restart the 2nd. HD does not get recognized in the bios & the system will not boot. I've got the original 120gb hard drive (C) & The 7 Mo. old 300gb secondary drive w/ a 250w power supply. So what is the problem, IE8, Windows XP service pack3, power supply or 2nd. HD (Western Digital, & this has only occured since software OS upgrades) Thank to anyone that can HELP!

Im not sure if they ceased updates for IE6 but you might have a security vunlerability that could of compromised your machine and did something to it. Nonetheless, the Malicious Software Removal Tool from Microsoft ran from Windows Update should have caught this at the time.

I too have had similar problems but I'm running the latest Snow Leopard version. Random black outs while using Firefox and surfing the net, using expose' to swap windows, or having iTunes in the background. Screen is totally unresponsive to anything but a hard boot and external monitor shows "no signal". Based on the forums it seems like this is a larger systemic issue. Called support with not much help....but had to cut short due to time for work.
