Explorer.exe crashes when I right-click items in start menu
- Hello,Explorer crashes each time I right-click something in start menu. Here is the information from the event viewer:Log Name: ApplicationSource: Application ErrorDate: 11-Jul-09 14:03:28Event ID: 1000Task Category: (100)Level: ErrorKeywords: ClassicUser: N/AComputer: DmitryPerets-PCDescription:Faulting application name: explorer.exe, version: 6.1.7100.0, time stamp: 0x49ee974fFaulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7100.0, time stamp: 0x49eeab11Exception code: 0xc0150010Fault offset: 0x000000000006b282Faulting process id: 0x1864Faulting application start time: 0x01ca021735437eb9Faulting application path: C:\Windows\explorer.exeFaulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dllReport Id: 75e44676-6e0a-11de-bd54-0016e68b3d0cEvent Xml:<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"><System><Provider Name="Application Error" /><EventID Qualifiers="0">1000</EventID><Level>2</Level><Task>100</Task><Keywords>0x80000000000000</Keywords><TimeCreated SystemTime="2009-07-11T11:03:28.000000000Z" /><EventRecordID>7402</EventRecordID><Channel>Application</Channel><Computer>DmitryPerets-PC</Computer><Security /></System><EventData><Data>explorer.exe</Data><Data>6.1.7100.0</Data><Data>49ee974f</Data><Data>ntdll.dll</Data><Data>6.1.7100.0</Data><Data>49eeab11</Data><Data>c0150010</Data><Data>000000000006b282</Data><Data>1864</Data><Data>01ca021735437eb9</Data><Data>C:\Windows\explorer.exe</Data><Data>C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll</Data><Data>75e44676-6e0a-11de-bd54-0016e68b3d0c</Data></EventData></Event>I tried to find shell extension which causes the problem. The only thing I found is the following: if I disable the OLE32 Extension for HTTP (HKLM/Software/Classes/Protocols/Handler/http), then I can right-click without the crash, but only once - next time I right-click it crashes again (seems like the problematic extension is being still loaded after I click for the first time).Did anybody see this issue?My system: Windows 7 RC build 7100 64-bit, NVIDIA 7600GT GPU (drivers ver. 186.18), 4Gb RAM, Gigabyte 965P-DS3 motherboard.

- Sorry bout that... clicked the wrong icon...
I had the same issue. I downloaded the ShellExView program. Sorted the Types and located the Context Menu items.
I disabled the "NVIDIA CPL Context Menu Extension" item and the problem disappeared... FOR NOW...
Try that...

If looking at the context menu of a shortcut crashes Explorer, you either have a bad video driver, or your system files are corrupt. I would run the command 'sfc /scannow' to try to correct corrupt system files. If no help, I would try installing your video driver in Vista Compatibility Mode. Put the chipset drivers on the desk, and rightclick for 'troubleshoot compatibility.'
Rating posts helps other usersMark L. Ferguson MS-MVP- Uninstalling video driver didn't help, neither did installing it in Vista compatibility mode. And sfc /scannow says everything is OK...
