peewee

so, for the moment i will make the last try with the windows repair- if this can?t fix the problem, than it would be better to reinstall (new) the w2k-again (inkl. the progs) - also a reason not to install old programms, or with other words, to have a clean system I was talking with a collaeuge, witch is useing also CCleaner, also with w2k.. and he have no problems... So maybe, it could be, that after2 or 3 years of fine working, it is realy on time, to reinstall everything -you know, a microsoft problem It could be, that a other programm will disdurb, i duno Maybe, it was a mistake also done by me (I was just useing the normal settings), and something important was deletet too... i duno However, thx for your passion, also step-by-step explaining (a lot of moderators of opther forum could learn a lot from you/your behaviouse), even cause it?s a free-programm : Thx. and i will let u know, what camed out. Edit: So, i tryed with the self-repair; but the result was the same as before; so i gave up and reinstalled w2k (btw. i also rechanged the HD and modify some things, so at least, it was also good foor a Hardcleaning inside and so on). Thx. again fur your passion. I also delete some of the results for securty reason; so if this thread is not longer needed u can close or delet it. thx peewee

G?morning As i describe it: I open explorer (or an other folder p.e. on the desktop); i could start files or application witch are in "my folder" (Owen files), but whenever i click an other folder (doubleclick) than it crash with the the waring Sign: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library (The red sign with white cross: Runtime Error! Programm: c\winnt\explorer.exe abnormal program termination When i click okay, the Screen disappear for a moment, and than evrything turn normal. When i save something, then i can jump thru the folders by this programm (p.e. notepad) without any problem; i also can jump inside the structure with alternatives like freecommander. It start to become a problem, when i try to reach something of the system (start->System->program) or Network (when i wanna open the networkgroup) Edit: ( i didn?tt go this, cause network/DSl was working fine; but !!!) Desktop->Networksurounding: When i click with the right mousebutton->proberties_> there i should normaly see the connections (means networkcard and else); but this is empty (completly) When i doublecclick networksurounding, the window open; but when i try to reach one of the network-components, than it crash too I duno know, if this problem is connected with the other problem, but this would explain, why i got the error mesg. about the missing phonestuff ---- The systemreport it is the same as i wrote yesterday manual; here th fresh list The 3 warnings at event, and a lot (30-40???) at system with this phone stuff (i duno have phonestuff or was installing it) (Translation see above) Ereignisskennung=ID Event:

English Source - categorie - Happening/Event - [the local time]: Message Winlogon - none - 2001 [04:11:11] In the Event->System tha last serious warnings (in red with white cross) the have been 9 hours before, and most(all ?) have to do with the modem/phone (???), even cause i am useing dsl; also a report of "RAS"-connection(trader), witch is connected with the stuff of the phone. Maybe it have to do with this thing, cause i have this warning since: 19.August.2007 05:04 pm till 6:30 pm, nearly every 3 minutes

So, i did, as u said, some i couldn?tt quiet, cause the system doesn?tt allow me (i am in as admin/with full rights) And, guess. explorer.exe again "crash" with the same msg. as above. (avGuard (AntiVirus) and Skype was also turned of, while i tested it) btw. Thx for your attention and step-by-step explaining :

So, i create again one crashh and got 3 Systeminfos. The first with an "i" the two others with an "!" (yellow) sign Winlogon-none-2001[04:11:11] The other test result i will post after testing Maybe an interesting side-effect i watched. Normaly i have small icons at "Start-Menu"; after the crash the are big

Done; in the safe mode everything is working fine; means, i can use all functions of explorer Done- Result is: Datei explorer.exe empfangen 2007.08.19 23:58:38 (CET) Done in Normal Mode (not safe one) -Computer restart while scanning; Result is: ComboFix 07-08-14.4 - "Dave REsult still the same Explorer error (read high above) Edit: REsult from Combofix started in safe mode: ComboFix 07-08-14.4 - "Dave

I made as u said, but still no change ... I installed only stuff in the order like we talked inside this topic, nothing else; The timeSink stuff was from 2005, but i also deletet as u told... so i follow your steps, nothing more at moment

sfc /scannow doesn?t help --- The log-file: (it is in german) Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 -- End of file - 8251 bytes

Na Nope, it (explorer) still crash, when i went into a folder or open a folder on the desktop and try to open a folder inside btw. thx. for the hint edit: For the moment i help myself with "Total Commander" and "FreeCommander", but they are not solfing the problem. p.e. i can?t open the settings, cause it crashed I duno, if with the deleting of one temp or log file something important was deleted (i was useing the standart configuaration) Even an update with microschrott-webpage doesn?t help; and at least a re-install would solf the prob. (on my computer) - maybe. (formaly at win98 u could reinstall explorer, but at w2k i didn?tt find this option) So, at the moment i have no glue, what to do... Just an idea? Would it help, if i went with CCleaner 2-(Beta) over my computer? or do i destroy more? Btw. i am useing a 120 GB hd, witch is split up in 4 Partitions (32 GB each)

i also tryed to replace "explorer.exe", but it doesn?t work: So help pls. thx

Nope, this didn?t helped. I was downloading it; had to extract on the desktop and from there it was copied into some folders... I tryed 5-6 times, but no help; still the same error-msg.

Since i used CCleaner 1st time, my explorer open, but when i click into one folder it crash with: "Mircosoft Visual C++ Runtime Library -> Runtime Error: Program: c:\winnt\explorer.exe -> abnormal program termination Pls. don?t tell me, i have to reinstall the computer What is the system missing; can i rescue it?
