Happen to be viewing a particular folder when this happens? Any similarities in what you were doing arond the times of the crashes?

Of course it does. If anything, though, you should be asking whether NVIDIA supports SLI on Windows 7, even if the answer is the same.
 
I was getting this error on occasion in both Vista and Win7 and it is a fairly common one when I finally researched it on the web. It seems the issue is caused by using in-private browsing set to always on in Firefox, which is how I had set Firefox. Turned off in-private browsing and can't remember getting that explorer crash since. You have in-private browsing on in FF? If you do, turn it off and see how it goes.

Hi, I no longer have Vista now,
I now upgraded to Windows 7 hoping the errors will no longer be there,

but yes, its still here,
and yeah I use the newest Firefox 3.5,

my firefox however never remembers history
 
You might also want to perform a hard drive diagnosis. Sometimes when you open a folder which contains corrupted files or where bad sectors resides, you'll bring explorer down.

If it never remembers history then it is because you have In-Private browsing on or set it to 0 days remember history. Which is it? I have both Vista64 and Win764 and am no longer getting that crash since turning off In-Private browsing to permanent as I used to do. That's what my research points to the cause of this explorer crash so look into it and your FF settings.Maybe temporarily uninstall FF completely and see if the issue goes away. If it doesn't then it is some other cause but you won't know unless you do as I suggest.
