hi,
when i use explorer (on its own or when applications use
it to open / save / import a file) and browse to certain
folder explorer crashes (itself and the app it was
running within) the entire start bar dissappears and the
screen goes to my desktop for a second while it remembers
all the other apps that were running. the background apps
in the taskbar are closed as well, except those that are
actually doing something.
the folders that are causing the crash were all fine at
one stage. if i move these folders to another location
they run fine. But this is obviosly inconvenient. If i
then move these folders back to their original location.
Sometimes errors appear saying 'memoruy could not be
written then a load of numbers and letters.
i have adaware 6 norton antivirus 2003 and systemworks
they do not ammend the problem or detect anything.
i have also run the windows disk check on boot up a
couple of times but this does not do anything.
The folders mainly have jpegs gifs tiffs pngs and bmps in
tho some have non image files in.
I can navigate to these folders through the left hand
side folder section of windows explorer by clicking on
the + signs, but as soon as i view the contents it
crashes.
i have roxio goback deluxe 3 installed but the problem
has been around for 2 months now so cant revert.
please help.
