Tks for that.
The problem wasn't virus related as it's a new pc and the very first thing I
did was install various anti-malware apps (just to be sure I scanned with a
virus checker and nothing was found).
However, I had installed an explorer replacement FloderView that I used on
the old pc (also XP Pro) for a few years without problem. I've now
ininstalled it and the problem went away so looks like that was the culprit
(just reinstalled FolderView and the problem reocurred - uninstalled it and
back to normal). Puzzling and annoying.
Having just set up this new PC in the last few days I am surprised that XP
Pro seems to be a diffrent to what I was used to before but that's probably
because I can't remeber how I had the old XP Pro pc set up. I'm sure there's
a lesson there somewhere.....

I've just steup WindowsXP on a new computer and occasionally get the
following message:
'Runtime Error 216 at 00002E30'
when right clicking a file in Explorer.
Any ideas what might be casuing this (not virus related).
tks
