    Question Runtime Error - Eplorer.exe - When opening 'My Pictures'

    Hi there,

    I was wondering if you could help me out with a problem. Its a problem my friend is having so please forgive me if I'm a little vague (sp?).

    You see she keeps getting a runtime error when she tries to open her picture folder. She's tried opening her pictures through paint but that hasn't worked either.

    When she tries to open the folder she gets

    Runtime Error
    Program C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE
    Abnormal program termination

    Windows XP by the way.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks.

    Hmm a weird one - sounds like a corupt folder - you could try recreating her profile! That might do it.
    If there is stuff in there that is needed might wanna service pack and windows update the machine.

    and try lookin on google for tune up 2004 utilities - has fixed a few niggly issues i had!

    Well... How bad does she want the pics? Is it worth puting in another PC to copy the data? Did she try to back it up using the system backup utility? She could then restore it to a new location.... Did she check the disk for errors? How about copying the my documents folder to a new location like a CD... ? I too have had that problem.. It turned out to be windows blinds... Errrr... I hated that! PS. Is her profile encrypted?
