hi

i have recently been getting an explorer.exe error come up when i delete files (usually mpgs and avi files) from my downloads folder.

the error is as follows:
C:\DOCUME~1\matt\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER3.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt

this error causes the desktop to disappear and then re-appear a few seconds later.

i am running winxp pro w/sp1.

anyone have any ideas how i can cure this problem as i have been looking for solutions on the net without any success.

thanx :)

appcompat.txt
Paste txt here.This is your computer and deleting this kind of file should not have these results.Change your downloads folder to something more simple like
"C:/My Downloads,"
And by the way don't you see the Dos errors ? ~
 
still probs

i tried what you suggested by changing the download folder but that didn't help unfortunately.

this is all the info i could find on the error (bearing in mind that i am a newbie and don't know how to locate the error with dos)

error signature

hope this might give you an idea of what the problem could be.
also i can't actually locate the appcompat.txt file as when i go to the temp folder it is empty.

if there is a way to get a more accurate description of the error - please could you let me know.

cheers :)
