BuckoA51 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I used nlite, RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack and a copy of Windows XP Professional including Service pack 2 (a bona-fide CD from microsoft with service pack 2 already installed) to set up my PC, none of the tweaks etc were selected in nlite. I have also installed NOD32 Antivirus and Zonealarm firewall, and nothing else. Everything seems to be fine until I go and browse the network, I can see all the other computers on the network but if I click on a share and open it up, there is a couple of seconds pause then the hour glass appears, and a few moments after that (no more than a second) I get the dreaded "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" If I inspect the error report signiture it looks like this:AppName: explorer.exe AppVer6.0.2900.2527 ModName: twext.dll Modver: 6.0.3800.2627 Offset: 00008167Interestingly, I can still browse the network share underneath the crash report window for a few moments, before it closes itself. I was even able to cut and paste a file from the network share before the window closed itself. I searched knowledge base for this issue and the resolution was "Install service pack 2" but the machine has been set up from a service pack 2 CD-ROM. Any ideas what might be causing this?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgul Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 It's a problem with one of the hotfixes included in RyanVM's pack. You can read about it here.RyanVM posted a fix for this in that same topic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just grabbed a copy of twext.dll 6.0.3800.2180 off an older machine and copied it to the system32 folder (overwriting the newer messsed up version).Simple fix and all is well.
