ABEO Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 For some unknown reason if I try to open a folder in Explorer without having the Folder View and using that, I get a 'Could not be found' errorI can't think what could possibly be wrong with it... any ideas?

ABEO Posted June 14, 2003 Author Share Posted June 14, 2003 Heres the error---------------------------C:\Windows---------------------------Windows cannot find 'C:\Windows'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.---------------------------OK ---------------------------Thats after I just clicked on the folder...

nekkid Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 OMG! REINSTALL REINSTALL! QUICK BEFORE IT SPREADS! Seriously though, I have no idea. That has to be the oddest thing I've ever seen from any Windows machine. Close second is transferring data from one hard drive to another and it said it would take 439827 days (Yes, that really did happen LOL). I'll see if I can find out some info on it for ya Edit: Hmmm...I just did a search on google, including the groups...and the only references I can find are errors that refer specifically to exe files. For instance,"Windows cannot find 'C:\Windows\system32\sol.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."None related to the actual folder. Although, so far...it's been related to a worm virus. I suggest you run an antivirus if you have one to check, if you don't have one you can always use AVG for free.

nekkid Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Do you have a CD burner? You should be able to "image" the drive, and or save large amounts of data to CD's. It'll be much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
