Hi all,
I brought my old laptop from the attic downstairs because I needed some old files that are on that laptop.
Now when starting up, I get a short double beep (still being in DOS), and then it gives me the option to continue (F2) or do something else (F10). I chose to continue. Now when I got in Windows XP it gave me this 'Explorer.exe Application Error'. All I could choose was 'Ok'. It furthermore says: 'Cannot initialise the application (0xc0000006). Click Ok to end the application'.
I have to click two of the same errors away. Also manually starting up Explorer.exe through 'New task' (Ctrl+alt+delete) gives the exact same error.
Also, the laptop is very, very slow when in Windows XP. I tried checking the tabs of the Taskmanager and it takes seconds to load and when I tried to browse for an application/folder through the Taskmanager's 'New task' it took a couple of minutes to get in a folder.
Maybe this is a memory problem. What can I do to get explorer.exe to work again? There are no desktop items or a taskbar.
Update: In safe mode it also gives me the same double explorer.exe error.
Update #2: Choosing automatic 'last point' recovery in DOS also doesn't help. Neither does running chkdsk /r.
Thanks. Rudolf.
