Spybot 2 and Windows 7, 64-bit
I have loaded the free edition of Spybot S&D version 2 on a new computer running Windows 7, 64-bit. When I open Libraries (windows explorer) and I right click on the C: drives icon in the left window, Windows Explorer crashes. If you go look in the Event Log, Shell32.dll is what crashed. I did some checking around and someone suggested that I use ShellExView and disable shell extensions until I find the culprit. Guess what, it was: Spybot-S&D Explorer Integration.
The computer has the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Pro installed on it with Service Pack 1 and all the updates. The hardware is as follows:
i7-3770K CPU
Intel DH77EB motherboard
2 Kingston KVR16N11H/8 memory modules
120 GB Intel 520 SSD drive, C:
1 TB Western Digital VelociRaptor drive, F:
LG GH24LS70 CD/DVD optical drive, D:
LG BH14NS40 CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive, E:
Asus ENGT430 graphics card
What's causing Spybot to crash shell32.dll?
