Re: Windows Explorer Runtime Error (not related to Internet Explorer)

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

My friend, I am having the exact same problem since yesterday, and I
have NOT INSTALLED ANTYHING lately. I also have the exact same config
as yours - yahoo yes, google no. I have tried all that you have tried,
and more. No results. Curiously enough, though, an Explorer replacement
(FileAnt) works perfectly.
I'll let you know if I find anything.

Dear Tech guys,
I badly need your support. Day before yesterday (01-Aug-06) night I
upgraded the yahoo toolbar and used their norton anti spy to scan. Then
I shut down the system and started to work the next day. Every thing is
perfectly ok except for one thing. In Windows Explorer, on any folder
or drive if I double click or open I get a crash. If I do explore then
there is no problem.

Below is the dialog that comes whenever we double click or open (for
eg: on C:\ or any folder in the left side pane of the windows explorer.
If I just keep expanding the + of the tree no problem, only on clicking
the item to open the following error occurs.)

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

program: C:\Windows\Explorer.exe

This Application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I am running on Windows XP SP 2. I dont have google toolbar. I have
yahoo tool bar installed. I have tried uninstalling it and installing
it again and other combinations as well.

I have also tried sfc /scannow as well. It did not work.

It doesnt look like any adware or spyware (yahoo's norton spyware had
done a complete run and no problems in the system as reported by them).

What should I do now to get back to normal operation of windows
explorer.

Thanks and Regards,
Naga Kumar S
