Windows 7 Explorer.exe crashing
« on: September 07, 2013, 06:54:18 PM »
So I have this issue with Explorer.exe crashing on my Windows 7 64 bit computer, when I go into event viewer it says that the faulting module is ddraw.dll, so I removed and reinstalled the AMD drivers for my graphics card and I seriously thought that it had been resolved but after a week it happened again.
I have removed and reinstalled my anti-virus as well and run a full scan, and also done a sfc /scannow but it still happened to me today.
I did a full virus scan in normal mode and then also in Safe mode. I have also done multiple scans with MBAM.

Please help me with this, I dont particularly want to do a full reinstall.
