another FYI - I did the same thing on our windows 2000 and 2003
servers and
those do not cause a crash - so this problem evidently is only on XP
Pro. s

Place the cursor on an adjoining file and use an Arrow Up or Arrow
Down key to position the cursor on the file.
The problem is not with kernel32.dll.
To extract .tar and .tar.gz files on Windows 9x/NT/2000/ME/XP use
PowerArchiver 6.1 (freeware) or 7-zip (freeware) or Winzip
(commercial).
For tar on MSDOS or other systems, see the FAQ of the
comp.compression newsgroup.

Thanks for replying. It's doesn't let me get there - all I have
to do is touch it with my mouse, not even to open and it kills
explorer. My guess is the format is causing it to choke - tho it
didn't used to the last time I did this a few months ago. From
what I read in the error message it is complaining about module
kernel32.dll. This gz extensiion is a unix extension from the
gzip command. ie, a file becomes an archive (like a zip) using
tar, then to compress it use gzip, which compresses it better
than the compress command on a unix. In any event, it's a binary
file with a gz extension. I noticed that Windows 2003 had a
similar problem with a TIFF file
and they have fixes for that. But as of yet, I haven't seen a fix
for this on XP Pro.
This file type has not been a problem before - the last time I
used them was about 4 or 5 months ago. in fact, my winzip pro can
uncompress it if needed so it recognizes it as a "tar or zip" type
file. So the question is - why is it crashing explorer - via
kernel32.dll? And what can I do to fix?

The problem is most likely not with explorer.exe but with the
file association for the gz file extension.
Locate an .gz file in Windows Explorer. Place the cursor on
the file, right click and select Open With. What options are
listed there?

I too am having a windows Explorer crash problem. This happens
when
I move my mouse over a .gz file (unix gzip file). It also used
to happen when I touched a zip file but that has not happened
for a couple months. I get 3 errors:

I saw a similar problem in the MS search for a TIFF file on
Windows 2003, however they recommend fixes that I am hesitant
to apply to my
XP pro. Plus mine is an archive type file (from a unix
server). pls advise.
