How can I stop Windows Explorer from crashing. I installed a new system and al I 
did was...
1. Set up networking.
2. Installed Easy Dental 2007 (which included Adobe Acrobat 7.1)

Now all I do is right-click the screen and Windows Explorer crashes.

How do I resolve this?

How many years now since Vista first went into beta and third part vendors still can't get it together. I still don't have drivers for a so called 'Professional' sound card. I also find it amazing that so many little newcomers are popping up and filling the gap where these lazy lay-abouts have dropped the ball. If a newbie can just jump in and do it why can’t the old-timers just follow the rules? And people think I am stubborn! Since I started to do things the MS way I have not had a single hiccup with Vista, with the exception of lacking drivers etc. from other vendors of course.

According to http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html there is much disabling of functionality introduced by Vista's new audio/video content protection features. The most obvious is the loss of the Stereo Mix function (ability to record "what you hear") in most soundcards. This is not a technical limitation of the product, it is purely a by-product of Vista's new content protection features. Another common problem is difficulty in getting the AC3 Pass-Through to work through the optical S/PDIF Output (Toslink output). You may need a newer version of your DVD playing software in order to get this to work. We have thoroughly tested the S/PDIF Outputs on our soundcard products, and they all are able to pass Dolby Digital or dts encoded digital audio with no problems. Vista does limit the sampling rate to 48kHz, however. We still recommend Windows XP for 'mission critical' audio home entertainment and video capture/editing work. Windows XP is stable and has proven to be a great platform for home entertainment PC use. If you really need to get something done using our products for audio or video content recording or editing, it's still best to do it on a PC running Windows XP (Home or Pro seem to work equally well). We do not have full support for the x64 versions of XP or Vista."

Too bad I don't have an Emu card. No, it is a problem with giving a damn about their business and the fact that some companies that make OSs try to follow the rules and legal demands for creating these newer masterpieces. And again how come little startup newbie’s can do it without any problems. Too many chiefs in charge that want to be king of the world, like that joker that runs Symantec that just doesn't like it that he didn't get his way with MS. Spoiled little crybaby. I just about inserted a political remark so I better go away.

My general complaint about Vista despite not working with about 1500 bucks worth of My Hardware, and Software, is it doesn't do anything better then Previous Windows OS. All I could really do with Vista reliably was Web Surf, and Word Document stuff, it Crashed on any Audio, Video stuff I tried.
