Metzen Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Are you running it in a virtual machine? If so, you might need to increase the RAM on it. Or, if your running it in a computer with low RAM you might get that message as well. Can you bring up the task manager and tell us how much RAM is in the system and what the PF usage is?

nychong88 Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Here is the Task attached.I am running in a computer, not in the virrual machine. This problem didn't occur before installing SP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Sometimes context menu handlers\shell extensions will cause this problem.Try this Program:http://freehost14.websamba.com/nirsoft/utils/shexview.htmlI'd focus on 3rd party application Shell extensions.Try disabling one and see if that stops the crashes. If not, try disabling another until the problem goes away.Does it happen on any file type or certain file types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlpokie Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 if you have divx installed, uninstall it. problem should be fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too hip Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Do you have Spysweeper 3.0 installed? This was causing problems for me. They have released a new build that fixes this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejs Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I had same problem (applicatione error). Occured on all systems with DIVX and SP2 installed. Clue should have been REGSVR32 error during DIVX install. Uninstalling corrected problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have installed SP2.. but it seemed to work for a few days. then last night is when the error started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hUmAnzZ Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I'm having the same problem tooI thought it was because of DivX 5.2, now that i uninstalled it and reinstalled DivX 5.1 the computer worked just fine but just for a while. Now it does it on its own, sometimes i get the error, sometimes i dont.It's a real annoying thing hope someone has a real fix for this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaSunRunner Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Man, this is really odd, I have divx V5.2 in my computer and have had no trouble with any of this at all. I feel neglected, my computer has been running sp2 for nearly two weeks now and I have not had any of the problems that others have had. However, I am greatful for that also. As I said in another thread, I have upgraded quite a few computers already and have not had a problem with any one of them.what bothers me is, I know eventually I will have problems somewhere down the line with some customers computers, it is bound to show up sooner or later, but what I do not understand is why some have alot of trouble and others like myself have little or none. Must be Microsoft slipped in a secret code to hate some computers and love others, does make one wonder... Dakota SunRunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3tude Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I had the same problem opening DIVX and XVID, some muppets on other forums are running mem test.A quick work around that works for me is to cut the containing folder and paste it somewhere else. then open up you DIVX file and it shouldn't crash explorer. don't ask me why it just works for my machine.

itsnotsohot Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I had this same problem on my laptop. Very irritating. I followed the helpful post instructions on http://www.mcse.ms/archive64-2004-8-945860.html This fixed my problem. THANK YOU Mike!!!The short text of his post is:Check if those PC have DivX codec installed. If so, go to the following in"regedit" & remove the "DivX" entry:[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]Yahoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
