I am having a problem with Explorer.exe. Occasionally, it will stop and
restart for no *apparent* reason. It seems to happen mostly when I
access the Start menu or when I open a folder.
The system doesn't respond for a second or two and the desktop icons and
taskbar disappear. Then the desktop icons reappear along with the
taskbar. However, not all the icons that were previously in the *system
tray* reappear. While those icons remain missing, task manager indicates
that the processes those icons represent are still running.
The last time this happened, I checked the event viewer and found the
following event:
Date: 11/23/2003 Source: Winlogon
Time: 6:15:20 PM Category: None
Type: Information Event ID: 1002
User: N/A
Computer: OEMCOMPUTER
Description:
The shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I found two articles relating to this: Q254220 (which suggests removing
Novell Distributed Print Services version 4.7) and Q275599 (which
suggests removing Allaire Homesite and/or Cold Fusion). I have none of
these packages on my system.
Can anyone help???
