Hi,
I seem to be having a problem on a rather new xp install of explorer crashing when i change the icon for a start menu shortcut (any). This happens once on every boot of the system, on the first or second attempt i make to change an icon. I get teh following messages in sequence
Application popup: Explorer.EXE - Application Error : The instruction at "0x015f5380" referenced memory at "0x015f5380". The memory could not be "written".
Click on OK to terminate the program
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Application popup: Explorer.EXE - Application Error : The exception unknown software exception (0xc015000f) occurred in the application at location 0x7c9431a0.
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
After I click ok to both of these, explorer DOES NOT terminate, it continues working OK. Icon is changed succesfully!
This wasnt happenning from the beginning of my windows install ... I dont really understand what might be causing it. The problem happens every time, and the error messages are EXACTLY the same every time (both addresses).
I also seem to be having another problem (maybe related?) ... 3 of my places list icons in the winzip extract dialog always get corrupted (i can see them but they are distorted/pixelated). Fixing the icons with iconpackager works temporarily, but the problem returns on next reboot.
Would someone be so kind as to offer me any suggestions with regard to either problem? They are driivng me nuts!
