I've just installed SP2 onto a previously stable machine. Now whenever
accessing Control Panel (either thru the Start Menu or My Computer)
explorer.exe crashes.

Has anyone else had this ? Is there a solution or should I revert to a
restore point ?

Thnx

Geoff

Also same problem here,cant right click.
Could fix it temporary by opening the search button,searched for a file and
i right clicked there.
Since i installed the sp1 update for frame network this doesnt work anymore.
Also besides right clicking im not even able to delete files from my drive
anymore.

Hi

If you have DivX installed, uninstall it and see if it helps...

My windows explorer crashes every time I try to open it -
caused by DEP... Very annoying - is there a way to turn
of DEP?
