Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 2 / June 2008explorer problem
Daughters laptop has a very annoying problem. Randomly a message will appear saying explorer has an error and must be restarted. Clicking any of the 3 options causes the status bar to vanish and then reappear as explorer restarts. Odd thing is that if she moves the message away to the edge of the screen she can carry on using the laptop fine ? XP Media Center edition and fully patched. Any ideas please? cheers, Len Hi, Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer? If Windows Explorer, is a particular program running when this happens? If Internet Explorer, is a particular website being accessed? Don [MS MVP- IE] > Daughters laptop has a very annoying problem.

Does it occur when you are using particularly functions in Windows Explorer e.g. copy / paste or whatever? Alternatively does it occur when you try to open a particular type of file? You will find an Error Report in Event Viewer, which may suggest where the problem might lie. In any event the posting of a copy of the report would seem sensible. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.

Are all of you (not all) that dense and incoherent. I have the right to keep my identification private on Usenet and I choose to do so, stop asking. Microsoft agrees with and there is nothing they can do about it anyway so just drop it. If you want to manually search thru the 4000 plus MVP profiles until you find me then be my guest otherwise shut up.
