I finally found the solution to fixing the windows explorer crashes while running Embird 2013! (I am running windows 7 on a 64 bit computer). All I needed to do was disable all the shell extensions from Embird and the problem was fixed!! My FTP program was constantly crashing, as well as windows explorer ever since installing the upgrade to Embird 2013. I even went as far as having a fresh install of windows and that didn't work! I uninstalled Embird and the problem was fixed. I wanted to continue using Embird though, so needed to find a way to have it working and not crashing other applications. Embird is an awesome program so I encourage anyone who wants to use Embird and not have crashes in windows or any other program to please disable ALL Embird shell extensions. It really works! I am so happy :)
