winxp sucks.

whenever i try to open a folder window, it brings up a
message box saying Visual C++ Runtime Library Error or some
shit, that there's been a buffer overflow in Explorer.exe.

Then explorer crashes.

So i basically can't navigate my harddrive / network
drives... anyone encounter this before?

this is a virus 100% for sure. i can only recommend that you
reinstall windows xp and make sure you have all updates for
windows and your anti virus

I had a similar error to this where it was actually a bad
codec installation.

wait a sec! have you recently installed a mp3/ogg converter
porgram?

I downloaded one once and explorer crashed every time I
tried I opened a window. The reason was, the program changed
menus and it had fucked up so whenever you went into a
window it crashed kinda thing.

nope don't think so.. and at the same time i really don't
think it's a virus.

i'm not a dummie, i don't use IE, my virusscanner updates
itself automatically every day from college servers and it
scans everything i download.

it's really weird. i even tried re-installed SP2 to see if
it'd fix it, no joy.

had fucked up video codecs that crash my explorer. turned
