I've been dealing with this problem for a while now but I haven't been able to figure it out. Whenever I deal with explorer to move, search, copy or modify files explorer will crash at some point followed by Dr. Watson crashing and the system locking up. Sometimes it even happens when I right click something in the start menu or on the desktop. Adding to the complication is the newest Zonealarm client update. If I install that the system becomes extremely unstable for example loading windows only once out of four tries and locking up shortly after it loads. With that in mind it seems I perhaps can't update that until this other problem is dealt with. I just did a windows repair install after windows stopped loading with that new update and found the explorer crashes were very frequent while I was digging through my MB driver discs looking for my sound device that was lost on the reinstall. Granted I couldn't get my sound working anyway but this problem with explorer is annoying to say the least. I've run ATF Cleaner, System Restore, Erunt, Malwarebytes' Anti Malware, Ccleaner, Ad-aware SE Personal, Spybot, and Zonealarm Anti Virus. Ccleaner, Ad-aware, Spybot and Zonealarm have been run on a regular schedule and nothing has ever been including this time. I'm about one step away from a formatting both drives and starting XP again from scratch so any help is appreciated. Here's my HJT log.
