Search bombs

XP Pro SP3, all updates except IE8. Up to date Avast. The only thing in Event Viewer
is a warning about not being able to update time.

I was doing a search of My Computer, using Windows Explorer and got the following
error dialog.

The caption is "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library"

The message is:
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application support team for more information."

The bottom bar of Explorer says:
"Searching Backup, Tue, Jan 20 09 16:29:59"

No drive, or directory I recognize.

It's repeatable. Google wasn't my pal on this one.

Any Hardware/software installed recently?

Try to make sure the time and date set right on your system and also
configure Avast to boot scan your machine on start up.
Scan for malware with an up2date anti-malware.

What happen if you boot into safe mode, does the issue occur or In clean
boot scenario?

Thanks nass -
Each time I run the search, it goes thru all the drives, reports 0 files found and
the starts on the 'Searching backup'. There are a lot that flash by. And the error
occurs in a different one each time.

Any idea what there are?

Did this machine been or connected to a mapped drives?
Your issue can arise from bad driver or corrupt software (software became
corrupt), also an overheated system can produce this issue.
How many accounts set up on this machine?
If it only on e try to create a new Profile/Account and test to see if that
account will not have the same issue, which conclude that the old account is

The box is on a 3 computer network. It has had in the distant past a drive mapped
from another computer, but no longer. No machine shows mapped drives. There are
shared drives/directories.

Bad driver or corrupted software is a very broad area.

I created a new limited user. Same problem.

I couldn't install the .NET package because the .NET I have is newer. It doesn't seem
right to uninstall a newer one to install an older one, does it?

Scannow asked for my SP3 CD. After it ran, the error persists.

Do you know what/where these backup that it errors in are located?

The box is on a 3 computer network. It has had in the distant past a
drive mapped
from another computer, but no longer. No machine shows mapped drives.
There are
shared drives/directories.

Bad driver or corrupted software is a very broad area.

I created a new limited user. Same problem.

I couldn't install the .NET package because the .NET I have is newer. It
doesn't seem right to uninstall a newer one to install an older one,
does it?

Scannow asked for my SP3 CD. After it ran, the error persists.

Do you know what/where these backup that it errors in are located?

No.

Try to make sure the time and date set right on your system and also
configure Avast to boot scan your machine on start up.
Scan for malware with an up2date anti-malware.

Time/date are fine.
Avast scans on boot. Malwarebytes and SPybot D&D report no problems.

What happen if you boot into safe mode, does the issue occur or In

Yes and yes.
