I am running win 7 x64 and I keep get this error when ever I am working in windows explorer. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

Go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons and disable them all. See if that fixes it. Then you can re-enable them until you find the one that's causing the problem.

Tools where? Control Panel?

:$ Sorry, I misread your post! I thought you were talking about Internet Explorer. My bad!

But the same concept might apply. Run MSCONFIG and disable all the startup apps. If that clears it up, re-enable until you find which one is the culprit.
