Title: X.exe had generated an error etc etc
Post by: Peterwolfe on January 04, 2007, 04:11:25 AM

Using W2K (SP4), IE60. 1024Mb RAM.....Sygate Firewall, AVG antivirus, XoftspySE, Spysweeper and Spybot and AntiTrojan remover...AMD Athlon 64, 3200+, Radeon 300SE...

Lately my explorer.exe gives that stupid message: X(which means all the software that needs explorer.exe).exe had generated an error and will be closed etc etc....
No virusses, no spyware, no trojans, my Western Digital Guard says my 3 HD's are clean and ok, registry splendid (although this message doesn't appear after restart, for a while that is...)all W2K updated....even defrag is ok....problem is of course when I try to find something and want to use the HD search, it works for 5 seconds before that message comes again...

Tried to find a Google answer, but nope....and HijackThis shows just normal procedures...

Maybe you guys and gals have some enlighting answers to this problem....( I hope...)

Does this happen in safe mode?

To enter safe mode, reboot your computer.

When you first turn on the computer keep tapping the "F8" key until you get a menu, one of those options will be to enter safe mode.  Select it and hit enter.

The computer will boot into safe mode, this could take longer then a normal boot up.

Try and see if you get the same problem in safe mode.
