Explorer keeps crashing

[cosmosis66]

I have had this problem quite a few times and I have finally narrowed it down. Here is what happens: I open windows explorer and navigate to the drive on which the Limewire saved folder and Incomplete folder reside. When I click on the drive icon it opens for a brief second then explorer immediately shuts down taking me back to the desktop. In the past I opened a DOS box to access the drive and delete all Limewire data on the drive. When it happened a few days ago I just deleted the Incomplete folder and that solved the problem. This morning explorer crashed again. If I delete the Incomplete folder then obviously I will lose all of my incomplete downloads and I will have to start my searches all over again. Is this a common problem? Is there a way to fix it without deleting the Incomplete folder? Just to be absolutely sure the drive with the Limewire data has no other data on it at all. It is dedicated to Limewire. Oh, one other thing. If it matters it is an external hard drive.
