any time i right click on an open area my explorer crashes, it doesnt happen when i right click a folder or file. any ideas? this is the info in the temp txt file
i also tried running sfc /scannow and i get this error
things that i have tried previously that can be found in this thread
http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=454705
"as the topic states, every time i right click explorer crashes. it doesn't crash if i right click on a file, it only happens when u right click on the desktop or in a folder when not selecting any files.(if that makes sense). when i click the more information about the error it says
AppName: explorer.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180
ModName: user32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2622
Offset: 00009de9
i have tried to replace user32.dll with the one from the dllcache folder but that didnt solve the problem.
(i feel like i'm using a mac, can't right click lol)
any ideas how to fix this?"
"the only recent program i installed that i can think off would be media connect to share stuff with the 360, but i wouldnt know if it added anything to the right click entry (new->) because it crashes before i can get there. The same thing also happens if i go to view file types. "
"virus scan came out clean
haven't run spyware stuff"
"as i was scanning the computer for adware explorer crashed
and this is what it said on the error sig
AppName: explorer.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 00000000
btw the scan found some tracking cookies and a thing called TrojanDownloader.Win32.Swizzor.ae,TrojanClicker.Wi n32.Rotarrran."
"another thing i found out is, if i go to folder options and then file types through control panel instead of a folder then it doesn't crash for some reason.
edit: nevermind it seemse to have been a 1 time thing that it let me do that"
i found out why this only worked once - it's because i closed control panel after i opened the folder view option and then went to file types. same thing happens if i open it using a folder. it only crashes if the folder is still open when i go to file types
"scanned with s&d removed whatever there was and still same issue" + also ran Ccleaner as someone suggested with no luck
i think its something in the create new file section when you right click. if there was only a way to look at whats there without actually rightclicking, maybe a program that lets u add or edit entries to that section or even the registry?
