Windows Explorer Crashes when renaming files

My digital camera names images with sequential numbers. After unloading my
camera I open Windows Explorer and start renaming the files to more
meaningful names. I can usually rename anywhere from 10 to 100 files before
I get a blue screen of death. The windows error says that I have a Device
Driver problem ... which I keep sending to Microsoft. After the crash I
reboot and start renaming files again (with very little else running) and
the system will eventually crash again in the same manner.

I have a NVIDIA GeFore4 mx 440 with the latest drivers from Nvidia. I just
updated the drivers to 4.4.0.3 hoping that would solve the problem. It did
not solve it. In fact the problem seems a little worse. I am running XP
5.1.2600 and regularly keep up to date with Windows Update.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

Best,

Jon
 
Try reinstalling the original driver. Sometimes these "updated" drivers
"don't work and play well with others".
