Can't open any sub-folders or load web-pages.
 

Have eMachine with WindowsXP

Can open My Documents fine but when I try to open a folder within My Documents
I get the following error message:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error !
Program C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
abnormal program termination

I can open any folder on My Desktop, or any shortcut to a folder I have on
My Desktop, but if I try to open any folders within the open one I get that
error message.

I've just gone to [tools] and [folder options] and changed the browse fodler options
from [open each folder in the same window] to [open each folder in its own window]
and I can now open 'sub' folders.

But when I try to load any web-favourites I get the error message.
Even when I type a web address I get the message.

I've just done a complete system restore (with backup) and the problem
went away, but now it is back.

Any ideas ???

I've just found that by making a desktop shortcut to google I can successfully
open the webpage. And once I have this open I can use my favourites ok.
But trying to open a web-page directly from an open folder I get the error.

There must be a name for someone who asks a particular question,
the answer to which could be v.easily found my putting said question
into google.

In my defense I thought my problem was preventing my from opening
any web-pages.

I googled, I dnlded BHOCaptor 0.5 (wthtmb) and bingo everything is rosy.

I guess I didn't need to do that damn complete-system restore thing
afterall.
