I keep getting errors such as the above - they vary,
I'm running 98sse with unofficial service pack and up to date unofficial fixes and internet explorer 6.0 sp1


I've tried things I found through google like deleting pwl files and renaming applog
repairing internet explorer [some errors say internet explorer instead of explorer even when I'm not uing i ex and it happens]

Any ideas?

One other report for this error but with no solution :

http://www.supportne...9/id1420753.asp

As always, if you were able to pinpoint aproximately where in time it begun, it would possibly give you a clue as to what changed in your system around that time that could be responsable for it.

Do you run Dr Watson ? Sometimes it gives a bit of a clue if it is able to intecept the crash.

Thanks I've not tried dr watson before.
Apart from starting it and taking a snapshot I'm not sure how to use it?

I can't pinpoint what brought it on.
I first noticed it over a month ago, however I've had a stinking flu since then and what I was up to on the pc at that time is a distant vague blur.

scanned disk for errors
defragged
Tried unistalling any recent new softwares
cleaned registry of them
scanned for nasties etc.


It doesn't happen when my partner uses voice recognition software
on the pc.

Only happens when I'm doing things with the mouse
Tried a different mouse. but I'm sure its nothing to do with a mouse as I can see from searching around that loads of people get/got explorer errors on 9x

it can be copying or moving a file, opening or closing a folder or application
rightclicking on something - seems very random.

Can go for hours with nothing then can get a whole spate of it.
If there is a pattern I've not spotted it.

Dr Watson simply intercept a certain number of crashes and automatically makes a snapshot including a crash log when it happens but it is usually very difficult to get something meaningfull for a end user out of it.

What do you find under the hook tab in Dr watson snapshot ?

Could you actually post a Dr Watson snapshot as it gives many usefull information as to what runs in your system, particularly at low level ?

Any software I can see listed there i have used before without explorer errors in the past.
I need point32 for different mouse button assignments, dodgy forefinger, I can't use normal left click mouse button position.
I know it is a hook but I've blocked it from internet access and again no previous explorer troubles with it installed.

I keep getting errors such as the above - they vary,
I'm running 98sse with unofficial service pack and up to date unofficial fixes and internet explorer 6.0 sp1


I've tried things I found through google like deleting pwl files and renaming applog
repairing internet explorer [some errors say internet explorer instead of explorer even when I'm not uing i ex and it happens]

Any ideas?


A bad processor overclock can cause this to occur.

Thanks
I haven't touched anything like that.

Maybe the vendor did but that was 4 years ago, if so its taken a long time to surface. This pc doesn't get any heavy usage I use my other one with xp for burning and stuff.

Looks like its fixed !
An afternoon without errors - despite trying everything to get one - since removing a bunch of 3rd party shell extensions

Credit to Arie on bbs for putting me onto it.

I ended up using regsupreme to remove a bunch of shell extensions that shellexview didn't list.
Now I can progressively restore the backups to find out exactly which extension is the culprit.

Thanks for your assistance here.

I refrained myself to suggest you looking into shellexes and BHOs as you seemed knowledgeable/resourcefull enough to find it by yourself. Let us know which one it was when you'll find out.

On a forum of highly resourceful people it is natural to extend
credit to those of us who are basically duffers.

A few hours will tell but I'm pretty sure its either clean disk security
which has a right click option for fully erasing files or folders.

or

possibly the right click desktop option provided by the intel graphics control driver
which I came across via the nirsoft shellexview page
http://www.nirsoft.n...s/shexview.html

http://www.intel.com...b/cs-003927.htm

Even tho' the rt click wasn't slow I already ran the reg file to disable it as it doesn't sound to good.

In the past clean disk security has caused me problems, I disabled all of its shell extensions which were the cause of most of my problems after this software was installed. I still use the program today but I know that after I have run secure disk I will need to reboot otherwise over a period of time it will bring up a blue screen

Thats useful to know oscardog, thanks.

I've used clean disk for ages and had it lock up from time to time when overwriting but no explorer errors or blue screens.
Maybe forcibly terminating it with ctrl alt + delete one time too many screwed things up.

I don't get any glitches with it on xp but there you go - software versions aren't released with 98se in mind now.

I'm just happy not to get those explorer error boxes popping up so often
if the intel extension was causing anything amiss, its a moot point now because its staying removed I don't need it.
