Windows Explorer error in My Computer and Desktop
I have Windows XP (SP1). Now whenever I try to copy/paste, right click,
or use the File menu in My Computer or Windows Explorer I receive a Windows Explorer Error. "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." AppNAme: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: shellext.dll ModVer: 1.0.0.1 Offset:00001e31. I must be "inside" one of my drives for the error to pop up. If I just double click My Computer, I can use the file menu and right click. I tried installing Service Pack 2 hoping it would fix the problem, but it has not. Any help would be great!! |

Windows Explorer error in My Computer and Desktop
Is your Windows preinstalled on your computer or do you have a Windows
retail cd? I suggest that you run the System File Checker tool by going to StartRun and typing "sfc /scannow" (without the quotes and note the space after sfc). -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) wrote in message ups.com...

Windows Explorer error in My Computer and Desktop
Thanks guys.... I tried sfc /scannow but I still get the error. Will
try the Advanced Clean-Boot next. If I load in safe mode or in another profile I still have the error. Thorsten Matzner wrote: wrote: I have Windows XP (SP1).

Have you added any new hardware lately?
