| 733664 | 2008-12-30 07:12:00 | I'm getting this frequently and it is becoming annoying. I've done some searches and get a lot of hits but nothing tells me how to fix it. Any ideas? XP Home SP2 I've done AVG and AdAware scans with no adverse results. |

| 733665 | 2008-12-30 07:15:00 | Usually its a file thats corrupted Does the crash show the name of a file?? That usually tells you whats causing it |

| 733666 | 2008-12-30 15:18:00 | Yeah, I recently had to fix a laprop with the problem of explorer endlessly restarting in a loop. The problem pointed to mpegslitter.ax or something, located in the codec directory. Renamed it to mpegsplitter.ax.old and the problem was solved. I think you have a similar problem, so try to see if the crash points any files/codecs/drivers Look in event viewer(Run>eventvwr) and see if the crash shows any names Cheers Blam |

| 733668 | 2008-12-31 09:54:00 | Try going to Start>Run, type in sfc /scannow, press Enter; you will probably need your Xp disk in the drive. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 733669 | 2009-01-06 06:46:00 | The entry sfc/scannow is not correct. Is there a repair option from the XP disk? |

| 733670 | 2009-01-06 06:54:00 | Where do I find the codec directory? Just had it again "The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted. For more information, see Help and Support Center at go.microsoft.com Event ID 1002 File Name: winlogon.exe File Version: 5.1.2600.2180 |

| 733673 | 2009-01-06 07:14:00 | The entry sfc/scannow is not correct. Is there a repair option from the XP disk? You need a space between c and / so it reads sfc /scannow |
