No gram, your 64 bit version is just fine and jaws has nothing to do with this. Please keep in mind that because you see these posts on these lists it doesn't make it true. If you run a Google search you will find that 32 bit versions of Windows 7 have this problem too. Last night I spent some

My problem is not spontaneous, but rather happens consistently. I have noticed however; that if I reboot and use windows explorer I can navigate the files and folders a little longer than I can if I have been using it for a while. But either way, explorer will certainly stop working.

Hi all. Andre thanks for the clarification. In that case I would agree this is a Microsoft problem and they should fix it by the time the first service pack for Windows 7 comes out. That's my hoping anyway. I guess I and others are very lucky in that we may have this problem on one platform

No, screen reader has nothing to do with this. I will say that on occasion I get the same error the person posted but it states FS something was at fault. Usually its Explorer.exe that causes the explorer crash. Yes, you're correct, as I said, lots of research last night, people are P/O. At
