"explorer.exe - application error"...help?

I can't open my slave drive without this message popping up. It says "The instruction at [some numbers and letters] referenced memory at [more random numbers and letters]. The memory could not be read." Then it gives me the option to click ok to terminate the program, or click cancel to debug. Neither option seems to do anything different. Sometimes it just closes everything and sends me to my desktop, sometimes it does that and makes me have to "restore my active desktop", whatever that means. The numbers and letters change every time.

Thing is, any programs on the drive work fine and shortcuts to files on the drive are safe. I can even open files and run programs with that error message up. It does not seem to affect (is it effect or affect ?) anything. I just have this window that I have to move out of the way.

Also, this happens on firefox sometimes, as well. Firefox actually crashes, though. I can restore the session, but the same tab that crashed it the first time just keeps crashing it.


So, what can I doooooo?
