RE: PC Problem HELP!!
Yeah, clean install sounds like the bidness. Back your stuff up, and install over Vista.
Vista's a piece of trash, anyway.

Indeed - I wasn't fully aware of how many strings pull explorer about till I got ShellExView.

There are so many DLLs explorer runs with, it may only take one to cause it to crash.

You could extract original files from the WIM if you still have the installation disc.
I'm sure there's file verification tools out there too.
Could also be a dodgy explorer extension (Autoruns).

But if you're going to reinstall, you won't need to worry about that.

If your comp's old with not too much RAM.  I'd probably say minimum 1.5-2GB if you want Vista/7 x64, or minimum 768MB-1GB for XP64.
But 4GB, go with x64.
