MAX Hook Wnd message box then WindowsShell crashes

[Robert Marshall]

MAX Hook Wnd
instruction at 0x73dd1c65 could not read at address
0x00000000

This error causes the Windows shell/desktop to crash and
restart. It normally happens when Im browsing files on the
hard disk, but it does happen at other times.
This has been on going for years and I have also seen it
in Win2000 and WinNT 4.
It is irregular and unpredictable as to when it occurs.
It does not seem to be associated with any one program.

sound like a problem with a dll.
This app may assist in tracking down, but if its intermittent be prepared
for the long haul.
