Also disable the "Error Reporting Service" in Start -> Run -> services.msc.

Does the problem go away. If so you may have a bad one. If so, return it for a new one.

This is what I got: Explorer.exe - Application error - The instruction at "0x01b0a550" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate, or cancel to debug. I clicked debug and got this: The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x59a7295d. Maybe a software problem?¿ On Friday, May 27, 2005 at 7:17 am, borg wrote: >Maybe if you disable >dr.watson a normal crash report would tell something.

The thing is though, everything else works perfect on it, so I don't think it's a defective card, maybe a software problem?¿ On Friday, May 27, 2005 at 8:04 am, Rich Kurtz wrote: >Remove the Radeon card.

Download ShellExView and use it to disable context menu items until you find the culprit.

If yes, go to Appearance -> Effects and disable (uncheck) everything. Those settings are all eye-candy, you don't need them.

I need to find a way to get my right-click menu on my desktop to work. On Saturday, May 28, 2005 at 11:49 am, borg wrote: >You can access display properties in control panel?
