TechSpot - PC Technology News and Analysis

Hello, i am experiencing some technical difficulty's with explorer.exe
when ever i try to access (e.i.: right clicking or opening) a movie or file on my 500gb ext hdd an error box pops up saying:
explorer.exe - Application Error
The Instructions at "0x027c415b" referenced memory at "0x00000000".
The memory could not be "written".

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

by clicking OK explorer.exe shutsdown and restarts(not the computer) all my desktop
icons dissaper and the start bar durring this time.

clicking CANCEL freezes explorer.exe, forcing me to CTRL + ALT + DEL and end
the process, and go to "File" and click "New Task(run)" and type in explorer.exe
and that will bring all my icons and start bar back.

i had a problem with drwtsn32.exe, and thus i had to edit its registry to 0 so it
would not work, and thus not be a problem any more.



Thanks, Z

Delete your Internet Explorer Desktop shortcut, go to Start, All programs and drag and drop the Internet Exlorer line to the Desktop.

Do the same with Windows Explorer, but you have to go to Start,All Programs, Accessories.



What happens?

what exactly will that do?

btw, i dont have internet explorer on my desktop




oh, thats new! ffs!

I cant right click anything! exsept the desktop

Well, then don't do it!

The Windows Explorer may be easier to just right click on and Create a Shortcut.

I just thought it would prove your existing shortcut wasn't hijacked or in error.

Do what you want.

i thot that maybe it was the problem i had with dr. watson debugger, and that i disabled it...

sorry for the double post:

I have reset the debugger to a value of 1, and now it doesnt say what it was on my
first post, it just freezes when i right click...

i really neeeeeed help please!

any thots as to what i could do 'bout this, would be greatly appreciated!

oh umm.... could i get this done in about 2 days or less?



Incredibly sorry for the tri' post ! ! ! !

know what? i just saved myself trouble and fixed it myself!

thanks for the lots of posts!!!
(Sarcasm!)
i looked on a different forum at a different website and i found
it was my divx player! now all is well! i am deleting this thread in 24hrs so
people can read and benefit from this information that i found myself!

That's not nice.

It is beneficial to leave posts as they are for two reasons:
1. So others can find out what the fix was (actually you may need to elaborate on this a little)
2. So support members can better help others in similar circumstances.

Hey it made you upset, imagine the poor next guy that has the same issue as you.

Oi... i am just teenager... man... i hate computer issues.

I understand, you wouldn't believe it but I think most are here (teenagers that is)

Anyway, sometimes after 24hrs, most people calm down and say, err I'll leave the damn thing then !

Lets leave it that

LMAO! aight.... fine ill keep it up if your that fussy!
