Repair 2 9 26 : new issues after repair
Boggin:
It's probably the Nvidia that's causing the freezes.
See if disabling hardware acceleration resolves the freezes, otherwise update or reinstall the graphics driver.

If you are using an OEM machine then go to the computer support site to see if any updated drivers are available.
Alternatively, go into Device Manager by going Start - type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
Expand Display adapter - right click on the Nvidia and select Update Driver Software and for it to search online.
If that returns that you already have the latest driver, OK out of that and right click again on it and select Update Driver Software - Browse my computer - Let me pick... then click on the Nvidia driver and then on Next to reinstall it.
It may be responsible for taking out Windows Explorer but you need to see if you still get the freezes after performing those steps and it's still snagged in Event Viewer.

As I understand it, your system is now back to pre-Windows Repairs but with an updated graphics driver ?
Do you still get these problems when booting up in a clean boot or in Safe Mode with Networking or when you are doing something in particular ?
In Safe Mode you won't be using the Nvidia graphics but this will separate Windows Explorer from those.
To perform a clean boot, go Start type msconfig and press enter.
Under the Startup tab click on Disable all - Apply - OK then Restart.
If in that mode you still get the problems, then go back into msconfig and under the Services tab, check the box to Hide all Microsoft services then Disable all - Apply - OK - Restart to check again.
If that resolves the problems then you will need to re-enable some of the services at a time and see if any are responsible.
To restore from a clean boot, in msconfig check the Normal start up button, but you don't really need any items checked under the Startup tab.
These are general trouble shooting steps for WE stopped working, of which you have already done some.
