Solve : Can't do a search on "My Computer"?

Answer»

When I do a search and just list specific hard drives the search completes (c,f in this instance). However, when I do a search and list "My COMPUTER" from the "Look in" tab I get an ERROR message:

"Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."



When I click on the "For more information about this error, click here" I get

"AppName: explorer.exe AppVer 6.0.2900.5512 ModName: sdshellnse.dll
ModVer: 2.1.0.876 Offset 00003498



When I click on "To View TECHNICAL informatin about the error report" I get I ton of information that would take me forever to type into this post, but I will say that at the bottom it says the following files will be included in this error report

C:Docume(tilde)1\JC\LOCALS(tilde)1\Temp\4969_appcompat.txt.


I'm pretty sure I have done a search on "My Computer" before, but I guess it's possible that I'm mistaken. Anyone have any idea on what the problem is? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Joe

sdshellnse.dll

This indicates that you have Skydrive installed. It is well known to be buggy and to CAUSE Explorer crashes.

It is perfectly possible to search My Computer in Windows XP
