I've seen lots of posts on this, but no solutions that make any sense... this
is a brand new machine... barely a week old. Just about every other time I
try to open something that uses Windows explorer like "My Computer" it
crashes... closes all my windows explorer windows and I have to open up all
my windows again... This is a huge pain... Please tell me someone has
figured out a better solution that re-installing or system restore or
something... This is crazy...

Have you installed the Windows updates for Vista?

If you have, it is still under Warranty; take it back!
