Runtime error 216 at [address]

[Guest marc]

I've just steup WindowsXP on a new computer and occasionally get the

following message:

 

'Runtime Error 216 at 00002E30'

 

when right clicking a file in Explorer.

 

Any ideas what might be casuing this (not virus related).

 

tks

Marc,

 

A Microsoft KB article points to this solution:

Ramesh,

 

That was the same article I was refering to in my previous reply. If you follow

the Symantec link it mentions a 1999 virus. The MMS article is for 95/98 & ME

though not XP

Tks for that.

 

The problem wasn't virus related as it's a new pc and the very first thing I

did was install various anti-malware apps (just to be sure I scanned with a

virus checker and nothing was found).

 

However, I had installed an explorer replacement FloderView that I used on

the old pc (also XP Pro) for a few years without problem. I've now

ininstalled it and the problem went away so looks like that was the culprit

(just reinstalled FolderView and the problem reocurred - uninstalled it and

back to normal). Puzzling and annoying.

 

Having just set up this new PC in the last few days I am surprised that XP

Pro seems to be a diffrent to what I was used to before but that's probably

because I can't remeber how I had the old XP Pro pc set up. I'm sure there's

a lesson there somewhere.....
