Drive Names In Explorer Completely Changed, Crashes You Double Click

Sep 23, 2010

This is so weird, see the screenshot.

Screenshot: http://gyazo.com/b406a94dab4b5ce9cfdf4f8fa815ec4a.png

This happened after booting up my pc today (running XP Pro SP3).

I had a malware infection days ago and removed it almost completely (apart from random tabs popping up in Firefox).

Last night I ran O&O Defrag and it finished without any problems or errors.

Explorer Double Click Does Not Start A Program?

Oct 17, 2008

When you double click a Drive or program it loads or starts, a mouse right click tells me that it will open search only, and that is what it does. Open and explore is farther down the list and search is on top. In my 25+ years I've never seen this. Thanks, John

Can't Open Drive C: On Double Click

Aug 19, 2007

I have this so called virus/worm "VBS/Solow-B" or FS6519.dll.vbs and I managed to delete it by searching thru the net on how to manually delete this worm. Unfortunately after deleting this I can't open my Drive C using double click unless I used right click then choose open then it will open. Here is the error message that came up. The window name is "Windows Script Host" the message is Can not find script file "C:FS6519.dll.vbs". How do I fix this so that I can use the double click again to open my Drive C:.

BTW I know this is too much too ask but how can I clean/remove the virus/worm on my flash drive? I think I got the virus from other pc using my flash drive then infected my other pc.

Cannot Read Drive - Double Click Displays Drive D

Oct 8, 2006

I have been having problems on my Windows XP for almost a week. It started when I opened my computer nearly a week ago. Windows XP was so slow. I also notice that it cannot detetc my drive D. As you can see, my hard disk is partition into two. Windows XP is installed on drive C. I put some of my files on drive D. They are both 20 GB each (My hard disk is 40 GB). When I double-click it it displays that it drive D is not yet formatted and Windows XP will ask if I want to format it. I never remove or tamper its partition. I tried using "repair" in the Windows XP Installation Menu when I tried booting the Windows XP CD. The problem still wasn't fixed.

I also boot a windows 98 CD so that I can boot into DOS. However when I use DOS to access my drive D. It works fine. It seems that only Windows XP cannot read my drive D. Windows XP also runs so slow. Furthermore, when I tried using the "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" option when starting windows to access drive D, it states CRC "Cyclic Redundancy something..."

Right-click In WinSP3 Crashes Explorer.exe - Have To Reboot

Oct 11, 2008

I am building a new PC and had it running fine until I just noticed recently that whenever I right-click on the desktop to view Properties, Explorer.exe crashes hard and I have to reboot. The only thing I have installed recently is Office 2007 and SP3. Before I start uninstalling all of that I thought I'd ask the group if they have seen this recently. I searched for the error here and only found reports from pre SP3 users so I thought I'd ask first.

Double Click- Right Click Does Not Works For Apening Any Folder

Feb 16, 2005

When I open a folder (MyComputer, for example), and try to right-click or double-click an icon to open it- it does not work. When I right-click the icon, NOTHING happens. When I double-click the icon, the icon gets highlighted, but the program or other folder does not open. I checked in the folder options, and it is set up so that when you double-click an icon, it opens the program. But the weird thing about it is that if I try to double-click or right-click an icon on my desktop.. it works like it should. So this really just doesn't make sense.
