I have a user out in the field (sales) that says that everytime he logs in the error report comes up. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas where to start to troubleshoot?

Thanks!
 
Hi,
Well, maybe start with what error is being reported.

Has this happened to anyone else? ...

...all the time... tell the user to turn off and ship to you :)

The best place to start is in the Event Viewer of that machine, you can get a full picture of what is going on.

You could also clarify the exact message being displayed to the Salesman.

Update For Windows Error Reporting


Some general things to try.

See if System Restore will get you back to a restore point before your problem with Explorer.

Try Safe Mode (Do you have this problem in Safe Mode?).

Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click your Drive icon/ Properties/ Tools/ Error Checking.

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.
