Hello all,I have a strange problem on my hands on my 64bit 2k8 box. Anytime I right-click a file with an unknown file type, explorer crashes. I thought maybe there was a third-party extension installed but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Here is the result of the crash: Version=1 EventType=AppHangXProcB1 EventTime=128937828373438334 ReportType=3 Consent=1 UploadTime=128937828422582711 Response.BucketId=554287462 Response.BucketTable=5 Response.type=4 Sig[0].Name=Application Name Sig[0].Value=Explorer.EXE Sig[1].Name=Application Version Sig[1].Value=6.0.6001.18164 Sig[2].Name=Application Timestamp Sig[2].Value=4907e791 Sig[3].Name=Hang Signature Sig[3].Value=3e81 Sig[4].Name=Hang Type Sig[4].Value=128 Sig[5].Name=Waiting on Application Name Sig[5].Value=svchost.exe:RasmanRpc Sig[6].Name=Waiting on Application Version Sig[6].Value=0.0.0.0 DynamicSig[1].Name=OS Version DynamicSig[1].Value=6.0.6001.2.1.0.272.7 DynamicSig[2].Name=Locale ID DynamicSig[2].Value=1033 DynamicSig[22].Name=Additional Hang Signature 1 DynamicSig[22].Value=63ff2eccb6343453e18573621b667854 DynamicSig[23].Name=Additional Hang Signature 2 DynamicSig[23].Value=59ec DynamicSig[24].Name=Additional Hang Signature 3 DynamicSig[24].Value=213693faf4f38d9df680dedb03c2b9d7 DynamicSig[25].Name=Additional Hang Signature 4 DynamicSig[25].Value=3e81 DynamicSig[26].Name=Additional Hang Signature 5 DynamicSig[26].Value=63ff2eccb6343453e18573621b667854 DynamicSig[27].Name=Additional Hang Signature 6 DynamicSig[27].Value=59ec DynamicSig[28].Name=Additional Hang Signature 7 DynamicSig[28].Value=213693faf4f38d9df680dedb03c2b9d7 UI[3]=Windows Explorer is not responding UI[4]=Windows can check online for a solution.
