Windows explorer has stopped working

[dink78]

HI,
I'm hoping someone can help me.I just installed my
limewire pro 4.12 on my new laptop,from a back up
disc.Anyway limewire starts ok,but as soon as I try to
download anything a messege pops up saying,"Windows
Explorer has stopped working.Windows Explorer is
searching for a solution...Windows Explorer is
restarting.The messeges and my desktop flicker
constantly until I close limewire.It does download but
At one point the messeges and my desktop flickered so
badly I could'nt close limewire,I had to turn off my
computer my holding down the power button.So,I
uninstalled Pro and downloaded basic from the site and
got the same results.Could someone tell me whats going
on?Is it vista or my Trend micro maybe?I would
appreciate any help.
Thanks!

My desktop and Windows Explorer stop and restart so much that i can't do anything.I uninstalled limewire restarted my laptop and still i get the same error messeges,,"Windows
Explorer has stopped working.Windows Explorer is
searching for a solution...Windows Explorer is
restarting.Even in safe mode the messeges popped up,I can't even install LM without the messeges.
It finally stopped when I did a system restore and restarted my computer.I''m a novice,I can't handle this!Please help.

First of all, I'm not a Vista user

Did you download a file just before this started happening? If so, can you remember which file it was? Try deleting that file from your computer. The same kind of thing has happened to XP users after downloading a corrupt file. Deleting the file was the fix for one person, from what I can remember, another person fixed the problem by running AVG Free AV.
AVG free
It wouldn't hurt to run an AV scan, just to be safe.

If you didn't download any files before this started happening, have a look at these & see whether anything helps.

That's just a bit of info I found by using Google. Try searching for more...type in Windows Explorer has stopped working Vista...see whether you can find more info to help. Otherwise, a Vista user here might be able to help more.

I've run full scans with trend micro and windows defender.Both were clean.After i did a system restore and uninstalled LW it stopped on its own.Because i like to punish myself,i tried again to install LW and it works fine!I've been reading some post in the forums you posted links to,maybe its really an issue with vista not LW?
Thanks for the info.
