Hi All,

This is my Problem:

After I start up my Windows and log into my desktop every thing is fine ...

But when I try to open a folder(not exe files) for the first time, whether tis'MyComputer',My Documents' or any file it is not opening.Instead it shows an exception and prompt me to send an error report to Windows.

But after this every thing works smooth..

Could you please help me here..
I am unable to Google it to get the right solution.

Thanks in Advancce,
Nivin

Seeing that you can't use Google this is what I found.

This appears to be a potential problem with several things: failed

removable media drive (such as a CD-ROM drive or Zip drive),

absent flash drive on which you were working prior to the last

reboot of the system, corrupted antivirus and/or firewall program

installation, and a specific infection of scvhost.exe (notice that

it is scvhost rather than svchost; svchost is a part of the

Windows operating system while scvhost appears to be some sort of

trojan).

If it is the media drive issue, then the way to discover which

drive is causing the problem is to put a disc in one drive at a

time and reboot to see if the disc existing in that drive keeps

the error from coming up. If it does, then the solution is to

replace the drive. The workaround is to keep a disc in that drive

at all times and just switch out the disc when you need to use the

drive for something else.

If it is the flash drive, then just plug it back into the USB port

and that will take care of the error. If you close out the flash

drive before disconnecting it, then it should prevent this problem

from recurring.

In the case of antivirus and/or firewall software corruption, just

uninstall the programs in question, reboot the computer, reinstall

the programs, reboot again, and you should be fine.

As for the scvhost trojan, this would exist in the Windows

directory (or Windows\System32 directory). The easiest way to get

rid of this is either by scanning with a top-quality antivirus

software (preferably Norton Antivirus 2008) or by booting into

Safe Mode Command Prompt Only and then, using DOS commands, switch

to the Windows directory and look for scvhost.exe If you find it,

delete it. If you don't, go to Windows\System32 and look for it

there. Once you find it, delete it. After you have deleted the

file, reboot the computer.

There are other issues that have been suggested but have been

disproven as being solutions. These are the four that seem to be

the solutions that work.

If I can do anything further to help, be sure to let me know by

dropping me a private message.
