Any Vista experts?

I get explorer crash whenever i right click an icon or any .exe everything else on computer works fine i can play games, surf, ect..

I booted with Vista dvd and picked repair and says found no errors. I found a way to do test with Dos in admistrator but since i can't right click i can't do admistrator. And i checked version of explorer using RUN and WINVER and it says 6?? So went to microsoft to get 7 and says i already have that installed?? My computer says 6 and microsoft says 7. Was thinking maybe try explorer 8 Beta but don't like anything Beta.

Everything is fully updated on this computer and completely virus scanned and spyware scanned. I haven't added new hardware since i bought this thing over a year ago, it still boots up fast.

The error shows as APPCRASH explorer.exe

Apart for completely formatting and starting from scratch i have no idea... Any help?

Damn it is windows explorer so was getting confused with internet explorer. Guess i'm screwed. I went to microsoft to ask for help and starts taking about charges just to send an email. Gotta love Mocrosoft.

So reinstall is my only option? Have alot of games and utils hate to have to reinstall all that stuff.

This is error i get.. http://img250.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=79639_Capture_122_502lo.JPG

Okay the just reinstall. You won't get any help with that other than to just reinstall. Like I said it will backup you're personal files and programs to windows.old but you will need to reinstall the programs but you will need to redownload. I've had the same problem about a year ago. I got no help whatsoever and I can solve most problems on my own. I suggest you backup just in case. Vista will installl over the top. Good luck.

BTW the windows.old file is on the C: drive most likely. Once you've copied you're files back you can delete the windows.old because it takes up space. But don't forget to copy you're file out of it first.

Thanks for the help guys. I gonna try removing none microsoft services 1 by 1 and see if it helps if any is the cause it should show me. I'll post update..Sleepyz

Thanks guys its solved :D The first link from LordXenigma brought me to a problem with command and conquer wrath which i have installed and has a repair utility which fixed my problem. In a million years would of never guessed a game i've had for a long time and play alot would be the cause.

I'll warn my friends about this that play cc3 with me.

Thanks again guys glad this really annoying problem is gone.
