What the hell is C+++ Runtime Error in WinXP?

[goobee]

This error message just appeared a few days ago. Now when I use thumbnails to view jpgs in Windows Explorer, it crashes with this message. Anyone knows what this is and how to fix it?

Thanks.

I don't know how to solve your problem, but a C++ Runtime Error is a program that cannot execute properly because of a bug in the code.

Weird, all I'm trying to do is look at jpegs.

Sounds like you've installed a buggy shell extension that was written in C++

Posting the entire error message would help us. There are quite literally hundreds of C++ runtime errors.

What software did you last install before problems started?

I believe you've installed a buggy shell extension.

Adobe Acrobat 5.05 was the last program I installed.

Okay, I meant to imply: uninstall it and see if the problem goes away.

C+++ error on windowss:

Its a regular C++ error whose intensity is enhanced by the OS (the OS adds its own set of errors)

Im not sure what theme that is.. Looks KIND of like the 'Classic Theme'.. But if its not, and your using a custom theme, that could also be a problem. One theme I used in the past would not let me get to my Add/Remove Programs box..

It seems to be fixed now. I still don't know what cause it, I installed Norton Utilities and it fixed a whole bunch of cryptic things. As long as it doesn't crash anymore, I'm happy.
