Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008Windows Explorer Crashes
I have been having a lot of "Windows Explorer" crashes when attempting to open a folder. Is there anything new out there to solve this lingering problem? XP Pro SP3 (RTM) Thanks, Ben Ben Are you double clicking on the folder. Can you please post a copy of the Event Viewer Error Report? You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. 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. -- Hope this helps.

You may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked. Use Windows Explorer to search for embiconext.dll. Searching from Windows Explorer opt to Search My Computer, enter file naname and check Advanced Options and the top three options from the drop down menu under Advanced Options. If you find it can you please post the complete path. Also search the Registry for embiconext.dll. Select Start, Run, type "regedit" without quotes, and hit OK.

That dll has a suspicious name. I would scan for malware. >> Here it is: >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > That dll has a suspicious name. I would scan for malware. Nevermind.
