Problem with Windows Update

For some reason, although it was working yesterday, I cannot get Windows Update to work for me today. If I click on the link from the Start Menu, I get a white screen, and the message "Windows Explorer has stopped working". It then asks to send a dump file to Microsoft, before Windows Explorer restarts.

Anyone had the same problem, or got any ideas how I could resolve this?

BTW - I should mention that all other instances of Windows Explorer seem to be working fine

UPDATE - I have found this on another forum. Seems to explain the problem I have experienced...

edit: fix posted:

2ND UPDATE - a lot of people are now reporting experiencing this problem. It seems that a System Restore can eliminate the problem, and it has been suggested that this could be due to the installation of Java.

This issue is accompanied by difficulties installing software, and is resolved with the fix described in the fourth post down, here:

Office 2007 Installation Problem

YAY...a fix!!!

Confirmed working

Wow, thanks, I almost thought I was the only one, but after a good query on Google ("Windows Explorer has stopped working" ("Windows 7" OR Win7 OR "Win 7") "Windows Update" -Vista) I finally found this thread. Seems hard to find solutions while everybody's using Win Vista, and can encounter the same problems XD

But It worked for me!
