When I 'right click' on an mp3 within a folder (ie. to rename it),
everything closes down, my screen redraws and I end up
at my desktop. If I drag an mp3 out of a folder to the desktop,
I can use the right mouse click without this happening.
Any thoughts on what's going on here?
Thanks, much appreciated.
I should mention--this doesn't happen 100% of the time. This post was last edited by Quadropenta on Thursday, April 03, 2008 11:48:57 AM. |

| What other software, especially utilities (antivirus, etc) and software related to MP3 creation, etc. do you have installed? Also, is there anything that loads from the Start folder? ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 700C - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, ATi Radeon 9550; SB Audigy SE; Server 2008 Enterprise, Photoshop CS3, Nikon D200 |

| Using McAfee. Only Quickbooks Update Agent is in start-up folder: For making mp3s: Direct Audio, Soundforge & RecordNow are installed, but most mp3s I have are downloaded. [I have another PC, same make and model running XT & the same software. The same mp3s when used on the other computer do not cause this problem.] In trying to right-click on a variety of mp3 files, I got these error messages one time: Windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close... Error Signature------------------- AppName: explorer.exe-- AppVer: 6.0.2900.3156-- ModName: cmenu2.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0-- Offset: 0000247c Dr Watson postmortem debugger reporting details------ EventType : BEX P1 : drwtsn32.exe P2 : 5.1.2600.0 P3 : 3b7d84a2 P4 : dbghelp.dll P5 : 5.1.2600.2180 P6 : 4110969a P7 : 0001295d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000 There is a process I don't understand: In my "Download folder" there are 15 folders of mp3 files. Any right click on any mp3 in those folder "wipes the desktop" of icons and closes folders (Notepad stays open) Drag an mp3 out of a folder to the desktop, copy it there, return the copy to the folder, and I am now able to right click mp3s in ANY folder within my "Download folder". Baffling! Thanks for helping me with this Jedi-- |

| I did a quick Google and seveal ideas came up. Anything from potential malware to disabling script debugging. I'd suggest first downloading/running something like either Spybot or Windows Defender (both free). Next, check out these two links on script debugging http://mcpmag.com/columns/article.asp?EditorialsID=1116 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293623 Last time I ran into this it was my antivirus (McAfee btw) that had goofed things up. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 700C - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, ATi Radeon 9550; SB Audigy SE; Server 2008 Enterprise, Photoshop CS3, Nikon D200 |

| Thanks Jedi Master This gets me started. Should I try to reinstall XT first-- maybe some aspect of explorer is corrupt? |

| It could be. Personally, I'd suggest switching antiviruses. I found McAfee to be a resource pig (and Norton generally just hoses your system). I'm running Kaspersky on all my systems now and don't have any issues. Running Vista on my rig, and my wife's desktop and laptop have XP. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 700C - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, ATi Radeon 9550; SB Audigy SE; Server 2008 Enterprise, Photoshop CS3, Nikon D200 |
