Windows Explorer keeps crashing when I attemp to move files

Fully patched Vista - I can reproduce every time.

When I attempt to move files by dragging from one folder to the next
within Explorer, it crashes.

Anyone else seen this?

thanks.

Explorer in Vista is about as robust as a boiled noodle. It will freeze up
under a variety of circumstances and is easily corrupted. To be fair this
has always been in the case in Win9.x but it seems worse in Vista. On the
plus side Vista is able to recover from some Explorer failures without
having to reboot.
First run the chkdsk command from a command prompt that you run as an
administrator. You may not be able to move files if there is a problem with
the file system itself.
Google chkdsk vista to get detailed instructions.
If this does not fix your problem I would also try installing or
reinstalling the latest video drivers.
I would also run Virus and malware scans even if the problem is fixed.

chkdsk says no problems.

Re-install video drivers for problem moving files within explorer?
Sounds like a crap shoot to me.

So... you're telling the OP that you had the same problem and that it
was "fixed" (translation: ignored) by installing Xplorer2 Lite, right?

What's the fault data for that crash from the Problem Reports and Solutions
center under View Problem History?

Dumb question(s), but: are you able to right-click on items within each
folder?
Any particular class/type of content that's being moved?
Where is this move from/to?

I get this error 100% of the time when I try to copy or move files in
Explorer. (I mean, who would ever need to do that?!) The process does
not continue in the background and will hang forever. The files that
were being copied or moved become tombstones and I cannot delete or open
them unless I boot in Safe mode.
In order to move files on my Vista machine, I have to map to it with a
XP machine and move the files from the XP Explorer. My Vista machine is
patched to SP2, fully updated, latest drivers and new BIOS. I
reinstalled with a clean Vista and its just the same. Any clues?
