Explorer stops working

[Protqt]

Alright, so my friend had this problem and I solved his ages ago but I can't remember what was the actual problem(s).
This has happend to me now for the last 3 days and trying to edit a montage this is driving me insane, and I'm in dire need of your help.
Everytime I re-name a file or just mess with it abit it stops responding and I need to restart Explorer.
I've been googling like a maniac but haven't been able to find anything which would help.
So I'm begging you MMO, help me!

Best advice, call microsoft first, then your hard drive get it checked.

I have been having the same issue on one of my laptops running 32 bit Vista. However, mine is a little bit different because no matter what I do (even if it is nothing), my explorer stops working and I have to restart. Since I couldn't do anything (couldn't even boot into safe mode without explorer crashing) I replaced the hard drive with the one that came with the laptop and that temporarily solved the issue.

I've called microsoft but the customer support I got from the was horrid. She couldn't help me nor did I think she tried to.

I haven't checked my harddrive yet but I doubt that it's because of that, I forgot to mention that I've got an external harddrive for the clips. (Western Digital Element)

When you mention about the harddrive and stuff, it's only my external which is making explorer crash. Changing things on C: is working flawlessly but it keeps screwing me over on the external. Guess a quick workaround is moving all the clips and stuff into main harddrive if it now works.

Edit: Copying the 540gb folder which I really need into C: as we speak.
Oh the joy.
