Every time I try to use Windows Explorer lately, the program performs an "illegal operation" and has to be shut down. This used to occur once in a great while but now is happening every time the program is running and sometimes when it isn't running.
In fact, I can't perform the most simple file maintenance operations now without getting the error message.
I have tried everything I can think of but the problem keeps getting worse. Finally, I decided to try Dr Watson to see if I could get a clue as to how to deal with the problem. I put a shortcut to DRWATSON.EXE on my desktop, but the minute I tried to "open" it, I got the "illegal operation" message with the following details:
EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
