Explorer.exe Crashes on startup
« on: November 19, 2007, 07:32:14 PM »
Last night i was trying to modify what drive Documents and Settings is on using hyena. Today after starting my computer up explorer.exe crashed no reason why. Is there a log anyway on the drive i can check to see whats wrong. Yes i undid the stuff i did last night.
I tried ctrl+alt+Del and new task but it just crashes again.

My system:
Windows XP Home SP2
2.2ghz AMD 3000
1.5gb RAM
Geforce FX 5500
1x 6gb harddrive
1x 160gb harddrive

Any ideas?

If you launch your pc in safe mode, does it still crash?

Windows

Problem diagnosed.

Seriously though, what is Hyena?  That will probably help us help you.

hyena is from system tools.

And I bet you fubar'd your registry using it.
So, all you were doing was trying to relocate the user folders to another location?

System restore is my best guess. however, i am very sure that you didn't rid of all the malware/spyware.
