the system itself doesnt crash. the thing that do crash is explorer.exe and the system can run without it but, it contains the entire interface. it only crashes if it is run at a lower resolution than 1920 x 1080 so i need to know how i can run it at a lower resolution without explorer.exe crashing.

Let me hear your arguments.Why is bing better than google?
Google is a fast search engine that gives more results.(searched kamelot Google gave me 972.000 results while bing only 603.000).Google actually gives you more options like search for books and google maps while bing offers neither.

Sounds likely related to defective graphic card. When you change the resolution it allocates different memory for all the display buffers and render pipe lines. If some element of the GPU is defective there is a chance it may only be used under certain circumstances. Although these errors usually cause a graphic driver crash, if the graphic driver handles the error but causes a function to fail that was not designed to cope with failure then it will crash.
The only other possible cause could be a bug in Windows 7.
This gives you two solutions.
Try another graphic card. If it still crashes then defective hardware is not a problem.
Contact Microsoft and report it as a bug.
Well ok I give you one other possible cause. Some program might be trying to do stuff out of the display bounds. When you use the high resolution these programs are in bound but when you lower it then they fall out of bound and explorer cannot cope with that (although it should?). The only solution in this case is a full operating system reinstall.
Have a nice day, this topic can now be closed?

Contact microsoft support, this is not your personal tech support forum. People have better things to than to argue with a person which refuses all offered solutions and doesn't use google.

Well you can always try a full OS reinstall. Or live with it forever.

Or in your case, live with it until you install a 64 bit version of Windows.
Migrating to Windows 8 (or 9 in a few years) may also solve it as their explorer programs are probably quite different that that used by Windows 7.

i have a 64 bit version of windows but i cant use all 24 gigabytes of memory without upgrading to a version that supports it.

Yes we know that already. We also know that it is because it would be too slow to use 64 bit pointers due to all the overhead so instead the OS, instruction set and compilers place reasonable limits.
Unless you are using CAD programs your process will likely not be able to use that much memory anyway due to virtual memory address space limits. All x86 (32 bit) compiled processes can still only allocate at most 4 GB of address space even when run on x86-64 (64 bit) systems with >200 GB of memory due to limits placed on their machine code.
Only professional software can use that much memory. This is limited to CAD style tools (professional design tools, be it car engines or game worlds) and servers (where caching is important).
