Windows 2000 Explorer/Winlogin Crash (all the time)

[davieboynj]

I don't want to scare anyone away from win2000 with that title, but i have the most odd (and consistant) program crash that i have ever seen. After I have done any sort of file manipulation(copy paste etc...), i get an error message and my session of explorer will die. sometimes the desktop will die. It seems to crash about one in 10 times or so... I can relogin, and everything is fine, but its really annoying...

this is the message from the Application log:


Event Type: Information
Event Source: Winlogon
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1002
Date: 6/28/2000
Time: 7:17:43 PM
User: N/A
Computer: PC12
Description:
The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted.


If anyone has any idea about how to fix this, i would greatly appreciate it...

p.s. other than this, its been rock solid...

Well davieboynj I'm also getting this crap. See it here http://forums.anandtech.com/reply.cfm?catid=34&threadid=184198&messid=1162992

Maybe we need to compare our systems and see what could be the offending file(s) and/or hardware(s).

Well I started listing it all, but there is so much junk in my system that it may be better if traded the info thru the private message thingy. Whaddaya think?

What Devices do you have? hardware? motherboard?

I read somewhere someone was having the same problem, I believe they are using VIA 133a chipset, if thats what you have might try installing newer drivers....
