Fatal Exeption when opening a certain folder.

[huntjr]

I am running a Gateway Solo 2300 laptop, 166 mHz, 32 MB RAM, 3 Gig disk, and Win95B. I've had it for about two and a half years.<br><br>Anytime I try to open a paritcualar folder in Windows Explorer, I get the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). It's a Fatal Exception 0E at 0157:BFF9A25B. It's exactly the same address every time. No drivers are named.<br><br>This problem only happens on one folder and none others. By the way, this happens on an Extended DOS FAT32 parition.<br><br>Any help would be greatly appreciated! <p>Phil Hunt<br><a href=mailtohilh@dqc.com>philh@dqc.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

If the folder name isn't critical then try creating a new folder, copying the contents of the dodgy folder into the new folder and deleting the dodgy folder. Obviously you will need to do this via a DOS window.<br><br>Eg.<br><br>c:<br>cd \<br>md &quot;new_folder&quot;<br>cd &quot;new_folder&quot;<br>xcopy &quot;dodgy_folder&quot;\*.* /e<br>&nbsp;<br>Then go into explorer, check you can access everything in the new_folder, then and ONLY then delete the dodgy folder.<br>
