Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you could help me out, whenever I right click/cut/copy/delete any file on my computer, nothing happens except all my folders close and I get this error message:


I'm running SP2, I never got this error on SP1

I've run hijackthis and here is my log:

-I've gone through add/remove rograms and uninstalled about 15 applications/games. uninstalled all toolbars, including google toolbars.

-run pc bugdoctor, ad-aware, spybot SD, AShampoo, Ace utilities, Antiy ghostbusters.

..basically cleaned up my whole computer of junk and history. But when i booted my computer in safe mode it restarted as soon as the desktop came on but I've made sure all the folders you told me to delete were deleted.

I still get the same problem I had to start with but I've noticed that when I use Treesize Pro; any folders I right click on in their work perfectly:


yet when I try access this menu inside any folder I get that same memory error (or cut/copy a file)

[-=jonnyrotten=-]

Ok your log looks clean. Lets try this. Insert the Windows XP Setup disk into the drive and click "Start", "Run", and type "sfc /scannow" without the quotes and make sure to put a space in between sfc and /scannow (just one space). Click ok and let it go. This will check system files and fix bad or missing ones. Reboot and try again.

-=jonnyrotten=-

[Pharcyde]

thanks, i'll try that and get back to you soon.. gonna have to dig out my xp disc first lol

[-=jonnyrotten=-]

I know that feeling, after a few long searches it stays locked up next to my pc now. Hang on to that

-=jonnyrotten=-

[Pharcyde]

I've fixed my problem

It's a long story but long story short.... my computer wouldn't boot up so I've ended up installing another version of windows xp on the same partition, then upgrading the version I just installed to SP2. Now everything works great and I don't get that error anymore!

the only thing is; now I have a lot of apps and games on my computer that are installed, but don't work, because I have another version of windows installed.. If that makes sense, lol. I don't suppose theirs an easy way of fixing that is their? if not it's ok (I think it's something to do with the registry entries right?)

Thanks for the help man

[-=jonnyrotten=-]

You installed it on the same partition? Did you do a full install or an upgrade install? Also we could have done a repair install, this would have reinstalled everything and you would have only lost your windows updates. Same programs everything, just a fixed os. Now about this.... Lets get some details on what exactly you did and what is happening now before we move on, I'm not sure I understand how if you installed windows again that the programs would still be there but not able to run....weird.

-=jonnyrotten=-

[Pharcyde]

Yea on the same partition because It wouldn't let me do anything at all in the recovery console. I tried reparing my install, that didn't fix my installation. The problem I got was when I got onto the windows splash screen when I booted up, it froze. I also tried creating a new partition but It didn't let me on either of ym HDD's.

I've ended up doing a full install of windows XP Pro SP2 on the same partition with the windows folder under the name 'Windows2'.. :/.

I've had this problem in the past.. but becuase I've done a full install of windows, although I still have all my old files on my computer it won't let me access them because I'm running a new installation of windows, it will only let me access them if I was working from the old installation of windows. Sorry I can't explain it any better.. lol

[-=jonnyrotten=-]

Ahhh, I see. When you do a full install of windows you always want to install it into the same windows folder. This is most likely why you have a bunch of programs that don't work now. Hmmm, I'm not sure how to fix this let me try and find the right answer here before I have you do something that is not correct.

-=jonnyrotten=-

[-=jonnyrotten=-]

Ok, sounds like you're gonna have to reinstall all your programs in order for them to work. "Gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'"

-=jonnyrotten=-

[Pharcyde]

mind the language.. but B*oll*cks!

LOL, i was going to install windows in the same folder but I didn't want to risk losing any of my documents or any other files, ah well.

Lol. Thanks again for the help, cheerio for now
