I am getting the following errors from time to time:

Application popup: explorer.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x77f57ec4" referenced memory at "0x00000067". The memory could not be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program

and

Application popup: explorer.exe - Application Error : The exception unknown software exception (0xc015000f) occurred in the application at location 0x77f6fca7.

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program

Anyone have any idea?

OS?
Are you running themes?
What were you doing at the time?
Do you scan for spyware/viruses?

Explorer crashing is pretty common.

Windows XP Pro
I am running the standard XP theme
I opened a folder and was browsing the web using Firefox
Yes I scan for viruses and spyware.

I used to get the same error. A complete format of the hard drive fixed it.

I tried an OS reinstall, but it didnt help at all.

Complete format as in a bunch of zeros written all over you harddrives sectors.

Yeah, that was planned before I started back at college.
