I have the same problem on two PC's One with Win 7 Home Premium and one on Win 7 Ultimate.
The machine running Ultimate has only just been upgraded from Vista. Never had the problem then.

BOAC - Created that.......
But it just turned up multiple instances of the abstraction below (which essentially tells you the the data-link library file is not playing the game). It doesn't get us anywhere.

But how to find a copy?
You may well be onto something Green Granite. There are quite a few Google references to IE9 installation corruptions of ExplorerFrame.dll
Unfortunately I cannot seem to locate a copy of the 1460kb file (ExplorerFrame.dll version 6.1.7600.16623) to test out the theory.

My ExplorerFrame.dll is version 6.1.7600.16385 and I've run all Windows updates. Windows updater tells me all is up to date.
I don't get the problem, either.
It seems 16623 is part of IE9. Since I don't use IE, I've not updated to IE9.
If the OP hasn't switched to IE9, the problem may lie elsewhere.

Hence my suspicion would lie with a common 3rd-party app/add-in/piece of storage hardware.

So, uninstall Rapport on one of the two PCs, and see how you get on?

Any one else who has problems got Rapport installed?
Must admit it doesn't happen a lot but only seems to be with Win7. (One PC just upgraded).
It was just annoying until I saw this thread.

I have W7 64 bit (upgraded from Vista) with Rapport installed. Curiously, I haven't had any problems relating to Internet Explorer or Rapport, although others clearly have had all sorts of issues with both.

Thinking of trying this solution
Repair Install - Windows 7 Forums
.........but it seems tres complexe.
Alternatively, there's "REIMAGE REPAIR"
see tinyurl.com/2fguzz2

Try disabling Network Discovery.
Even if you don't run a network, some API's may suggest to the operating system that it should look for one. That can result in delay (hourglassing) or in some cases failure and restart of Win7 Explorer - as it times out, unable to find the network that it believes should be there.

Well done Microsleuth WWW
Appears to have made all the difference. Thanks.
Now using the proprietary Buffalo utility to access my network and ditched the MS Network Discovery with its pregnant pauses and failures.
Keef put us on track.

Hmm, just tried it. Looks promising......
Mike-Bracknell was also on-track towards a solution.
I've tried Start/MScfg and eliminated a lot of start-up memory-sucking parasitic "lodgers". That had also made a notable difference.
Killing off the MS Network Discovery bug seems to produce sustained Windows Explorer goodness and amicable behaviour. Time will tell. But it's always returned in the past to haunt progress.
