After using Windows Explorer to view files and folders I get the following error message:
Proxy Desktop - explorer.exe - Application error.
The instruction 0x01f24213 referenced memory at 0x018dad58. The memory could not be "read".
Click OK to terminate the program.
I am using Win XP Home Ed with Service Pack 2 installed on a Dell Dimension 8200 with 512 MB memory.
What is the simplest course for recovering from this problem.
The program seems to work anyway.

What's the event log file say in 'Event Viewer'?

So what is the Event Viewer and where do I find it?

 

[TRS-80 vet]

start/control panel/administrative tools/event viewer.

2x click 'application', right side window, 2x click event for time of app failure. Should be tagged 'error'. Post file to forum. Someone else here will be able to decipher...

Since the Microsoft link had no suggestions for solving the problem and Memtest did not reveal any problems with the memory in my computer. I switched to FileAnt which seems to operate fine.

The latest updates to Windows XP seem to have corrected the problem, but I find FireAnt quite useful.
