Linney, Onr man's rubbish is another's nugget of knowledge. After I posted my note, I Goggled the dll file name and found a discussion on Videozilla. It turns out I have that program installed - I'll be removing it shortly. What's interesting is that the problem only surfaced about three weeks...

Dian & Linney, Success! At least I think so. Linney, on 3-8-06 provided a link on right click problems. Somewhow I never looked at that. Using the information provided I downloaded and ran ShellExView. As you know it listed all of the Context Menu handlers, among other handlers. The very...

Linney, Thanks for some more good things to try. I am not exactly sure I understand what you mean by the following, however: "If all else is failing you may have to try the repair install of XP." Is that something different than just reinstalling XP over itself? TIA Don S.

Dian & Linney, A Progress Report: 1. I was unable to restore Windows to an earlier date. Each time I tried (5-6) with the last date only a few days ago. I received a message that said Windows was unable to restore to that point. Why??? 2. Right click problemn still present in SAfe Mode 3...

Hi Linney, THanks so much for the several things to try. Now I just have to go implement your suggestions. I'll report back with my rsults - hopefully saying that my right click has returned. Don S.

I am still looking for a way to repair Windows Explorer's problem that causes it to close as described above. Is there a repair tool of some sort that I can use? Would it do any good to boot in the Safe Mode and see it it works - just thought of that. Can I/Should I reinstall Windows XP in...

Dian, I did look at the FAQ, and it does not seem to address what I am seeing, but like you said, "just in case". However, running msconfig and looking under services, I see that WIA has a check mark by it. Now what? Thanks for the reply. Is there anything that I could have turned off in...

· A couple of days ago, Windows Explorer began having to close when right-clicking on Start. · The current symptoms are as follows: ? Right click on Start Explorer needs to shut down. ? Explorer runs ok from Start > My Computer ? Explorer needs to shut down if right-click on folder icon to...

Garebo & Felixc, SUCCESS!!! I continued on as recommnded by Garebo and removed all boards and then put them in one at a time between reboots and with the USB 2 board right next to the Graphics board, which is in a non-PCI slot. I only have three boards, USB 2, sound, and NIC card. PNP in...

Garebo, I'm about ready to follow your instructions, but I wanted to update myt situation with some new info. I discovered that in my BIOS an Enable P-N-P was turned off, so I turned it on. So now, I have Legacy USB turned off in the BIOS and P-N-P turned on. When I restart the computer, No...

Thanks. But I must push it off one more day. Don26812

Garebo, I need to ask a couple of dumb questions here. 1. Are you saying to physically remove all of the PCI boards, install the first PCI board, and then reboot forcing Win XP to install that device again. Shut down and then repeat the process for the next PCI slot? 2. Do I disable the...

That is correct. This is a desktop PC. I still have not pulled the cards out and then reinstalled them. I will return one I dom that tomorrow. Don 26812

Thanks again for the replies. Frlixc, there is no option anywhere in my biosthat refers to anything like IOAPIC mode. I guess Dell did disable it. ?? Micker377, no I don't need all 5 ports. Two would have worked, but when I bought the card, I thought I might as well get four external for...

Hi I'm back with more questions. First I removed the SCSI card and rebooted. No mention of it under Device Manager, but the same Code 12. garebo - I don't know what chipset is used in my USB 2 controller. It is a Belkin 5-port moidel. I also disabled the Com Port COM 1 I did as feixc...

Thanks to all for your very good and prompt comments. Win XP is current thru SP 2. I have not, but will remove the SCSI card. I don't have anything connected to the serial port and do not have a modem. I will disable/uninstall the CCOM ports. Then I'll look closer at the IRQ assignments...

Hello, I have a Dell 4100 P III 1 Ghz PC with 512 MB and running Win XP Pro. It came with 2 USB 1.0 ports somehow connected to the MB (not in a PCI slot). I wanted to add USB 2.0 capability, so I bought a PCI card with 4 Ext. and 1 internal port. The new USB card and ports are recognized and...

bcastner, I am adding this to close out this thread and to thank you again for your help. I ended up reinstalling Win XP Pro from scratch after disconnecting my Zip drive. I have not loaded SP2 yet, but will shortly. Naturally, I am back to a single hard drive, C:. I am wondering now if I can...

bcastner, Again, thanks for the prompt reply. Pressing F8 did get me to the point to select thec last known good configuration, but the end result was the same. Start up stopped at the bright blue screen with the samll Windows word in the center. No error messages at that point. I am...

Bcastner, Well, I followed your instructions, except my Zip Drive was drive H. On rebooting my PC, it stops at the light blue Windows screen and goes no further with no error message. I did back up the System Settings to an ext hard drive using backup as described - I think - in appropriate...
