I'll see if I can get in touch with Symantec's CEO himself to address the problem.now try telling them that they should change their code to fix bugs!

Just trash Norton. That will solve many problems
@MyDutchFriends
Norton antivirus maakt grote inbreuk op je systeem. Het heeft bij mij in het verleden al voor veel ellende gezorgd (zoals raid-0 disks die corrupt raken ). Ik heb afscheid genomen van Norton-AV en het bevalt me prima

Dumb questions are the ones that are never asked
Darn....I still have a 1, 5 year subscription on their antivirus program...nikos wrote:of all the lame programming monkeys in the world, it's norton antivirus to blame! They must have copied/pasted the code used by TSVN :x
now try telling them that they should change their code to fix bugs!
Any workaround...? oke, only single select...
Still funny though as the Missus laptop also has NAV but no XP crashes....
If complaining at NAV what should I tell them is wrong with their code?
Thanx for your investigation….

Yes, I know but I already paid my subscription for another 1,5 year!! And you know this typical Dutch feeling...JRz wrote:Just trash Norton. That will solve many problems

On a serious note, I think it will be more of a hassle to completly remove NAV from my system....bare in mind I'm not a power user just a slightly educated amateur
Wat betreft "inbreuk op je systeem" van wat ik in de verschillende groepen heb gelezen geloof ik je gelijk....will get rid of NAV at the next earliest opportunity....
Thanx again zowel Mr.Pleasant en JRz

I gave Norton the boot a dozen yrs ago, and McAfee after that.
Both too resource intensive and neither could actually fix the problems they found in the early days.
My current favorite is BitDefender I've been using it for 3-4 years now, and I am very satisfied with it.

if anybody has access to norton support you can tell them that their context menu shell extension does the same mistake as explained in this thread: http://svn.haxx.se/tsvn/archive-2006-05/0131.shtml
basically they access the dataobject assuming it has fixed memory allocated (GMEM_FIXED) whereas they should use GlobalLock to access its contents

can you try this fix and tell me if it still crashes?

THIS IS SO COOOOOL… still trying to locate the site where I could educate the programmers of NAV with regards to the annoyances their program is causing, and already Nikos has a solution available….nikos wrote:can you try this fix and tell me if it still crashes?

Although not yet extensively tested, the patch is working on my side!!!
Also on the Missus’s laptop no more crashes….
Will scrutinize further, but till now XP2 prof again rock solid….
I again emphasize my respect for the CEO, tech support and customer supp (that is all Nikos himself), who managed to listen and came with a solution within the shortest possible time…
My compliments and thanx again…

7-zip crashes with Xplorer
I have the same problem for a while: multiple select right click crash.
After reading this post, I tried out the patch file. It works on files but crashes with folders. So, as suggested in the post, I ran DrWatson and found that 7-zip is listed as having problem when Xplorer crashes.
Uninstall 7-zip version 4.42 and the "right click" problem gone!!!
I hope this helps. Do you need my drwatson log?
Cheers
