Windows Explorer/OD Crash FYI

Explorer/OD Crash

March 6, 2009 10:53:39 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Just figured this out, hopefully it'll help some one else.

Symptom: windows explorer and OD would always crash upon reboot.

Turns out, it was PDFCreator. It had installed a shell extension for the PDFForge Toolbar. Disabled this, now it seems fine

I take this all back, it wasn't this....OD started crashing again after a few reboots and after diabling most of the shell extensions, it was still crashing.

Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but I started to disable some of the OD options through troubleshooting. Took a while but it was the "windows-event hooking" that was causing the OD-Explorer crash after reboot.

This brings up the next question. Why is this crash only happening on my laptop and not my desktop?

Laptop: Lenovo w500 with VIsta Business

Desktop: Dell Inspiron 530 with Vista Ultimate

I'm not even sure what is "windows-event hooking". Currently I have that disabled on the laptop just to keep it stable. Any ides would be greatful

 

Thanks, N2_N
