I can't create a folder anymore! When I right-click and select new... in the
context meny, I get a runtime error saying: "Runtime Error! Program: [empty]
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Also get an Active Desktop error.
All this happened after I installed the latest (automatic) windows update a
few days ago but I don't know if it's related. I haven't changed anything
else on the computer that has been running smoothly for a long time now
except that it once in a while loses time setting. Yesterday it thought it
was year 18 465, but a restart fixed that.

Hi Lars,

See if the following helps.

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:

Right click crashes Explorer.exe after installing Windows XP SP2?:

Ramesh,
I get the same error message even if I go to File/New... So it's apparently
not the menu handlers but something else, more profound. I'll try to
uninstall the latest Windows update and see what happens.
