Hi, I'm running Windows 2000 Pro and lately I've started to experience a very strange problem. When right clicking on/bringing the menu for a file/cut/copy/paste etc. explorer crashes and gives the following error: Application Error : The instruction at "0x0359845c" (this varies each time) referenced memory at "0xffffffff". The memory could not be "read". Followed by another message: "Microsoft Internet Explorer: An error has accured in Internet Explorer. IE will now close. If you continue to experience problems please restart your computer." I noticed that this occurs with all the media files such as mp3, avi but not for txt or other files. Also explorer is much slower than usual. The weirdest thing is that this happens only on user profiles while administrator profile runs smoothly without these errors. I restarted the PC several times and already reinstalled media players to see if one of them causes this issue and also applied the registry key that I found in other posts regarding memory problem [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "LargePageMinimum"=dword:ffffffff but nothing helped and I still have no idea what may causing this. Please help...

A recent application you installed, which placed an object in the context menu, is crashing when called on. At least that's what I think. Have you installed anything such as Winamp recently that may have caused this? Also, don't rule out Malware. I POAST THRAD!!!!!!!!111!1!1!!

I scanned for viruses & malware and nothing came up. Where can I check for clashing objects in contex menu? As I said I tried to uninstall media players Winamp and VLC which didn't help. Explorer crashes with simple Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V action on media files without calling any program. What puzzles me is that it doesn't crash in Administrator account.
