Random Windows Explorer Errors
Greetings All,
Recently I have been gettings these errors (Windows Explorer) from my computer. Most of the time I won't be doing anything and I get a message that the Windows Explorer has suffered some type of error and must report it. I just put in a new harddrive and I am wondering if this is the cause or culprit of these new errors? What can cause these errors and what can be done about them? Thanks in advance

Hello, good evening, and bollocks.

We might need a little more info but since you just added a new HDD, could it be that it's it's a very large drive and larger than 137GB? If so you may need something like Maxtor's Big Drive Enabler, at:
http://www.maxtor.com/en/support/dow...ve_enabler.htm Check out the KB articles it links to on that page too. Memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/memt29.zip will make a boot floppy that tests your memory (you shouldn't see any errors), but normally if you have bad RAM the whole thing crashes, not just Explorer.... |

So, I made the disk like the instructions indicated (memtest 86) but it didn't say how to actually test my memory (sorry if I am a complete dolt). How do I conduct a memory test? Thanks
