My Laptop keeps coming up with the above error when trying to open some applications. example is windows media player, messenger, moviemaker etc. Also some things I download then try to install come up with this error.I really want to fix this problem as formatting would not be my preferred option, as nero and sonic come up with the error too i can't backup stuff to cd.
View 7 RepliesTo find a windows explorer error message. When I click close on the error, the same error pops back up.
I finally got the error message to stop on startup and the computer worked fine but now when I access any windows based programs, windows explorer, my computer, control panel, IE 7, my computer puts the error message back up.
When i click "close" windows explorer does not go away, the error message just does but it still prohibits my access to these programs (which really really annoys me).
2 days ago, I used add/remove programs then Norton Removal Tool to remove Norton AV, and replaced it with AVG Free. My PC seemed to work fine until yesterday: upon booting, AVG automatically tried to update and ended up reporting "something bad happened..."; Not sure if AVG issue is relevant but now I CANNOT OPEN FOLDERS or APPS!
Now about 9 times out of 10, when I try to open a file or app, the screen icons and background pic disappear momentarily, and nothing opens. If I manage to open a folder, it seems my PC hangs up similarly at the following task (sometimes I get my RCA Lyra icon suddenly showing up in the toolbar). BTW I experienced the exact same problem a couple of times before the AVG install but rebooting would always fix the issue. Not anymore! It took many reboots but I was able to get AdAware to run - found nothing - and Maintenance Mechanic 6 - showed PC Repair is needed but hangs once it gets to reading the disk index. I tried deleting Lyra, but it won't let me (hangs once I manage to open the add/remove program page).
Every time i try to open anything i get a pop up box that says "You have chosen to open anyapp.exe which is a : Application from :C: Program Files anyapp Would you like to save this file? "

I have a fresh install of WinXP Pro, SP3. The dialog box opens up. The drop-down menu for choosing drives expands as expected for about 1 second, then closes back up. This happens no matter what. It just won't stay open/expanded. I must add, that clicking, My Computer, and using THAT drop-down to choose drives works fine. It's only in applications that this happens. I could swear I've seen this behavior before, but I can't place what it is or how to remedy it.

There were no problems until I went to use the DVD playback feature in Nero Suite (Nero Showtime) the program had sound only, no video and after a few minutes it froze. The event log said ''Win XP error hanging App''. Why is this happening?? Is it another one of those Unknown error things with windows Xp?

I have Windows XP 2000 and yeah it can be a bit slow but I admit my laptop is a piece of junk, I have never had this problem, no recent applications or unusual downloads.

It's really annoying and its happening more and more frequently (every 2-3 minutes)

The instruction at "0x1001cbf1" referenced memory at "0x1001cbf1". The memory could not be "read". Click on ok to terminate the program.I got the above error message twice in the past two days after closing a site (I don't know what). I simply clicked on it and it disappeared. I have Windows XP Home Edition SP2, Internet Explorer 6. This is a Dell Dimension P4 model 4550. I recently removed some registry keys, files & folders for some old McAfee & Norton antivirus programs because I was getting antivirus error messages.I typed IEXPLORE.EXE in the "RUN" box, clicked ok and my ISP popped up on the screen. Should I be concerned? Is this a virus or malware? Tell me how to remove this problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Windows XP (Home Edition) Internet explorer (ver 6.x) does not launch. In addition any process that requires explorer will not launch. This includes "My Documents", "Control Panel", and of course Internet Explorer. When I click My Documents, it thinks about it, then all the icons on the desktop disappear for a moment and all that I have is the background image. Then the icons return and Explorer does not open. The error message I get indicates that there is a problem with the ole32.dll file. I’ve run a virus scan and
spyware scan with no luck.
When I try to access some folders in my directory I get the following error.Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThere seems to be a problem with the My Pictures folder located in My Documents. whenever i open it,a windows explorer popup screen says there's an error with explorer..."Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." My Pictures cannot also be used with any other application,eg.setting up Avatars or when creating a DVD title menu(as in using a background display picture). Since I use ZoneAlarm whenever i open the my pictures folder a program alert appears saying windows explorer is trying to communicate with vsmon.exe...on clicking deny the explorer error pops up. I tried copying the pictures in the folder to an empty hard drive partition but instead the hard drive partition stopped working...i.e. the same explorer error popped up,making the partition inaccessible.
I then had to format the partition.

When trying to install SP3 I get the error "The file c:windowssystem32driversusbstor.sys is open or in use by another application." I know that usbstor.sys is something like the service that prevents USB drives from auto-installing or auto-running, but isn't that completely irrevelent if I'm just trying to install SP3?Anyway, I've pretty much tried closing all other apps, and even tried to install in safe mode;

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis problem started happening randomly and now I cannot run checkdisk at all on reboot. Basically I cannot run Checkdisk at all on my OS drive because it always says in Windows that it is in use and needs to run the scan on next reboot. After I reboot, the above error message displays (see thread title).I've ran a virus scan and spyware/adware scans and I'm now pretty sure that it isn't the issue. I've tried disabling all non-essential services in services.msc and disabling all startup items under msconfig.exe, neither of which made any difference.I'm really beating my head against the wall on this one, I have no idea what the cause is?
