Access Violations in comdlg32.dll

L

Lionel M. Worman

I'm running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1
and the latest Hot fixes on a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop.

When I'm using my local account on the laptop and I go to
notepad I can use the Ctrl-O function without any
problems. When I use my network account, or any network
account and I use Ctrl-O it crashes notepad.

This crashing seems to happen with any program that tries
to access the c:\windows\system32\comdlg32.dll file, but
only when I'm using my network account, and not my local
account.

One particular instance I was using Eudora v5 and the
error log it produced said there was an access violation
(c0000005) in c:\windows\system32\comdlg32.dll, and then
it crashed.

I've installed Visual Studio 6 with sp5 and uninstalled it
and then tried Visual Studio.NET as well to see if that
would make a difference but it doesn't. The reason for
this was that I found this problem first in VS6, when I
tried to compile a program, VS6 crashed.

More info:
1. I'm using NTFS with Administrators having full control
to everything, and both accounts are in the Administrators
group.
2. C:\windows\system32\comdlg32.dll
version: 6.0.2800.1106 xpsp1.020828-1920
size: 252K date: 8/29/02
3. C:\windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx
version: 6.0.81.69
size: 137K date: 7/21/01

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated since this
is causing some problems with the idea of deploying
Windows XP Pro here.
