Whenever I right click on the task bar then click remove on the Start Menu Programs tab, I get the following Dr Watson error,
Explorer.exe
Exception: Access Violation (0xc0000005),
Address: 0x715a5f94I get dumped back to the desktop and half of the system tray icons dissapear.
Not sure when this started happening as I don't edit the Start Menu often. Tried uninstalling the last few programs but didn't help. It's not the profile cos it happens under local Admin, Domain admin and under my User profile too.Searched Microsoft but didn't find anything that quite matched or helped. Anyone here know what's up?
Using NT Workstation 4, SP4.
Cheers

The MCSE in me says first to upgrade to SP6... I would also try to run a chkdsk to make sure the HD is ok.

Just tried the chkdsk, no help. Tried upgrading to SP5 yesterday, didn't cure it either.
Can't get SP6 at the minute, our company internet connection is down. Will get it over the weekend at home and try on Monday.Thanks for response.

Yes, perhaps a bad profile, which can cause lots of trouble, but make sure that you are in the local admin group as well
