explorer.exe problem on SP 3
I installed SP3 using one identity. Now whenever I click on Tools when I'm
in a folder on the hard drive, I get a message reading: Explorer.exe application error The exception unknown software exception (0xc00000fd) occurred in the appliucation at location 0x7e4185da. The last string of characters can change, I think, but the exception is always filled with 0's. And I have the OK/Cancel choice. If I click Cancel the taskbar disappears and I have to log out via the task manager. The cursor goes under the exception message, so if I guess correctly where the OK button is I can click on it and the exception message disappears and there's no problem. Wait, please. It gets better. If I go to another identity, not the one in which I downloaded and installed SP 3 (which, by the way, installed a version of explorer.exe ending in 5512.) I can open Tools without any trouble. I hope thjis makes more sense to you than it does to me. |

explorer.exe problem on SP 3
You have some of the symptoms of a corrupt profile. Copy your profile to a
new one and test. There is no reason why you couldn't go back if it was not satisfactory. 811151 - How to Copy User Data to a New User Profile: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;811151 -- click the Ratings button.
