the only thing I installed recently is a program called speedfan and removed it.
after the crash windows restarts explorer.exe, it crash and so on.
Vista ultimate 32 bit, 1 GB Ram.
I tried to uncheck windows services in msconfig and it stopped crashing but I think it's similar to safe mode.
disabling only the startup programs didn't fix the problem.
system restore to yesterday didn't work neither.
please save me!

Try using this: http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/ProcessExplorer.zip

Try to see what is causing the crash, and start killing applications 1 by 1, careful not to kill a service that is windows critical.
Hopefully you will see someting happen when the crash occurs.
You can also check you device manager for issues.

Hello fellow country man..

take a look at this, is it related?

This sounds alot like the .ani cursor vulnerability problem a couple months ago. Is your vista install completely up to date with patches?
