Probably there is something in your Documents folder that Windows is trying to preview with a thumbnail, but the codec is missing or damaged.

Try moving everything out of "My Documents" into a temporary folder. Don['t name it "temp" or "temporary". Mainly try to move out any video or image files. See if you can browse to My Documents without a crash. That'll help you isolate which file type is causing problems. It's easiest to do this in DOS.

Alternatively:

Try going into My Computer and selecting your C: drive (or something that doesn't crash. Right click and select View and select Details.
While still in My Computer (Windows Explorer) click Tools->Folder Options->View and click Apply to All Folders.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
