Hello

I have a Run-time error '52': Bad file name or number. And I don't know what is causing it. Whenever I get the message box, it doesn't have any TEXT on top, from which program it is.

And it always messes with the graphics, my messenger gets a bit messed up, it also messed up site in my browser.

Now does anyone here have any idea on how to fix this?? or atleast how I could figure out whats causing it?

tnx in advance.

G.When does this error pop-up? Windows version?I have Windows XP2 SP2.

And the error pops up randomly. I guess a program is causing it at certain times, but I don't know which!Does it say "Bad file name or number"?Yes it does.Yeah. This is definitely some program error. You need to pay close attention, and try to notice what program you're using when it happens.Ok this on other thing that also happens after the error happens.

For instance I tried to run Firefox and it said its not a valid Win32 application.

Is it possible that something is wrong with Windows or could a program be causing such problems?

Go Start>Run, TYPE in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK.
Have Windows CD handy.I thought i'd share what the problem was.

The software that was causing the error was Bandwidth Monitor. I used Process EXPLORER, and when I clicked OK in the Error alert box, I saw that that process stoped.

Thanks for the help Broni.

Nice investigating JOB
