Any time I want to share a folder on my network on this particular machine, I try right clicking on a folder and choosing "Sharing and security." When I click it, though, it does nothing and pops up with the "Windows Explorer has failed and wants to send an error report" box thingie. Right after I click that off, "Dr Watsom Postmortem Debugger" does the same thing.
When I try right clicking properties on the folder and clicking the Sharing tab, it shows it but all the boxes are grayed out and I cannot check them.
I have set up the network via Network Setup Wizard (wasnt working before I used it either). I also have all my windows updates and have 0 malware. Also, file and printer sharing is on
Anybody have any ideas?

Do you have "Use simple file sharing" enabled. Check under Tools>Folder Options>View tab, scroll to bottom and check that this option has a check mark.
Tried unchecking it doesnt work. (found out I like the extra control without the simple file sharing )
Ok I got the errors. Refer to the pics.
Usually I have to end the drwtsn32.exe from the task manager to get explorer to restart and my taskbar and desktop to work. I guess its not as important as is now that I found out I can open the folder and click on the "Share this folder" on the left hand side of the folder window...
After uninstalling, do a complete shutdown for 15 seconds. Then bootup and reinstall. If I remember right, that program wants to hang in the ram with just a reboot. And that really messes things up.
