Hi !

several weeks I have this problem with Windows XP Pro SP2

When using Explorer for renaming or deleting folders, I have the error message "the instruction at "0x025c415b" uses the memory adress "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written".

I've made :


- antivirus scanning with Norton 2005 with last virus definitions
- adaware scanning
- spybot scanning
- Hijackthis analysis by a french forum
- Repairing windows from the CD

Nothing helps...

I've read that the "0x00000000" error usually deals with explorer 'shell' problems.

So I have downloaded 'ShellExView' but there are a LOT of shells there !

I once stopped the error by desactivating the "Hyper Terminal Icon Ext" from Hilgraeve. But after reboot of the PC, the error came back...

Wich shells could be the cause of my problem ? Which ones could I desactivate ?

Could somebody help ?

Thanks

Bernard

Click start, all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up, then from system tools, run disc defragmenter.

Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter, you need the XP CD and get a blue progress bar, after the bar goes, reboot.

Click start then run, type chkdsk /f /r then press enter, type Y to confirm for next boot, press enter then reboot.

This will take an hour, it will appear to load normally then either the monitor will show progress or the screen will go blank, do not disturb this.

When it gets to the desktop, the system files and the hard drive will be as they should
