Guess who is back: explorer crashing is back :(

for those unaware it started here: https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=308234

what happened since: I got used to dealing with it, just like you always get used to something new in your life. then got bored a couple of weeks ago, and tried to partion my HDD using Gparted, long story short, killed windows (expected it to), couldn’t repair windows as i only have a recovery disc, so I reinstalled windows.

worked fine for the past two and a half weeks, until today, plugged my Sony USB in and bam, explorer crashed, me = big sad face.

just want to see if you have any more ideas?

Thank you in advanced,

Martin
