I hope this is the right place to ask this question.
I'm having problems with Windows Explorer. It generally happens when I right-click on my desktop. The problem is that is error is sporadic -- sometimes Windows works correctly, but many times it crashes.
When the system crashes, I get an error message that the module in trouble is explorer.exe, and it references the mfc44.dll file.
I've gone through my system and renamed the mfc44.dll's that exist on my system, keeping only the correctly named dll in \windows\system32. The version in c:\I386 would not allow the rename. This enabled me to see what would happen if Windows thought there was only the one copy of mfc44.dll on my system.
This didn't help -- same problem.
Any thoughts? Is there a repair tool available that I can use? My computer didn't come with a WinXP CD, so I don't have access to the repair tool on the CD.
I'm on a Dell Desktop system, WinXP.
Thanks.

Re: Problem with explorer
This didn't happen by itself...there's a cause but you haven't given us
any hints. Have you made any changes to your system - hardware or
software? Installed or uninstalled anything? What were you doing on the
computer just before this started to happen?

Re: Problem with explorer
If it's any help I don't have that file on my system. This might suggests
it's part of an installed application and not native to windows. Could it be
something to do with your display driver if it errors only when you right
click in the desktop.

Re: Problem with explorer
You know, I install and uninstall all the time, and I can't recall when the problem started. It's been happening for a few months now. I've just worked around it. Sorry I can't be more explicit.

Re: Problem with explorer
Try this:
Open a command prompt.
A) sfc /scannow - Scans the integrity of all protected system files and
repairs the system files if needed.
B) sfc /verifyonly - Scans and only verifies the integrity of all protected
system files only.
C) sfc /scanfile=(full path of file) - Scans the integrity of the chosen
system file and repairs it if needed.
If that does not work, go here and download and run FixSell.

Re: Problem with explorer
Well, I just tested in safe mode. Same problem -- crashes on right-click. But not all the time -- it's oddly sporadic. It seems to crash more often when I right click on an icon than when I right click in an empty place on the desktop.

This mfc44.dll doesn't exist on my computer and a search in Google suggests
you are possibly the only user who has it! This suggests malware.
What are the properties of the file in the system 32 folder? Place the
cursor on the file in Windows Explorer and select File, Properties, Version
tab.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Run Malwarebytes' in safe mode and turn off your current anti-virus
before you do to avoid a conflict. Disregard the invitation on the web
site regarding the Registry Optimiser -a Registry Optimiser is not a
helpful utility.

Hope this helps.
