I'm getting the following error message after my computer completley boots up, it doesn't come up when I access explorer or my computer.

Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close

Error Signature:

AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0 ModName:~6881877582.tmp
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00003a6a

I have ran the most recent Norton Antivirus scan, ran through adware, spybot and it didn't find anything. Unable to do a system restore because the feature was disabled. Any help I would greatly appreciate it.

I would del your windows\temp dir reboot and see if you get the message...also go to start run type msconfig and then start up and see if there is any apps that you can uncheck so they dont start up when you boot.
