Whenever i try to right click anywhere on windows explorer it stops responding.
OS - Windows vista
Thanks for any help!
EDIT - Only crashes when i right click on a file, not empty space.

Could be a malfunctioning shell extension that provides a context menu entry.– Daniel BJun 26, 2016 at 17:21

This's usually caused by 3rd party shell extensions. Try ShellExView - Using ShellExView to Determine the Problematic Extension should help.– w32shJun 26, 2016 at 17:43

capture a crash dump and share it (Onedrive, dropbox link). Here Are the steps to do this: pastebin.com/WACz5GBU– magicandre1981Jun 27, 2016 at 15:18

May be a third application that crashs or something bad in the register. When you "right click", context menu is created.
Try restarting your PC and boot in "safe mode". Then start your latest installed or updated apps.

The latest program i installed was lightroom and it has been fine since then. Or will it be since i executed a program for the first time today that i had sitting around for ages?– aidanJun 26, 2016 at 17:16

Also you can go to the windows registry to see what programs are in the "right click" or "explorer context menu". Did you try "safe mode"? Jun 26, 2016 at 17:21
