Explorer.EXE Application Error

[acideye]

Hi peeps! I have recently installed an SP2 on my WinXP, and after a couple of days i encountered a problem, whenever i right-click on any file on my computer, i get this message:

Explorer.EXE - Application Error

The instruction at "0x0201415b" referenced at "0x00000000". The memory couldnot be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the program.
Click on CANCEL to debug.

If i press OK, Explorer restarts, if I press Cancel, i get another error, saying the debugger dont work or sumtin like that.

Pleas advise! :rolleyes:

Click ok to terminate the program. Click cancel to debug the program." and no matter how many times i press ok the message dosent go, and when i press cancel everything disappears except background and then comes back. and after that i am not able to minimize windows by clicking on their tab in taskbar.

Ok, try to remember any recent software or hardware drivers you installed, in my case that was Dr. DivX, it would not install properly and left me with a non functional computer, as soon as I uninstalled that program everything was back to normal. I am certain that this aint an Explorer glitch, and I'm pretty sure this is got to do with any software packages you installed on your computer recently. Go to Add or Remove Programs under your Control Panel, and just go through the listof programs you have on your computer, this is also helpful as you will realise that a good number of programs you have - you never use and they are just taking space and memory -> get rid of them along with the program that causes the faults. Hope this helps mate.
