Classic Shell: Forum

Win 8.1

Uninstalled Classic Shell and crashing stopped.









Windows Explorer crashes repeatedly when I touch and hold on DESKTOP icon to reach right click menu. Stopped after uninstall Classic Shell.

Please try to capture a crash dump using these instructions: http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewt ... p?f=12&t=6 and attach it here.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Edit: Went to MENU LOOK-FONT SMOOTHING changed from CLEAR TYPE to DEFAULT... problem solved. Will report back in a day or two.-

That's bizarre. There's just no connection between the start menu font and the desktop right-click menu.

Hello,

I have done the registry mod and run the program listed but I see no crash dumps in the folder. Yes, I created the folder. Suggestions? No better luck with the program. Even tried making a batch file to no avail.
Windows 8.1

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps]
"DumpFolder"="C:\\CrashDumps"
"DumpCount"=dword:00000010
"DumpType"=dword:00000001

Try running a command prompt and type "procdump -e explorer.exe". Then right-click on the desktop to make it crash.
BTW, didn't you say that changing the font fixed the crash?

Hello,

I thought it did. I reinstalled to test but uninstall only thing that fixed it. I will try again to see why explorer crashes.

Then try the command "procdump -h explorer.exe". It should save a file when the process hangs. Another thing to do is type "procdump explorer.exe" (don't execute yet), then get Explorer to freeze, then press Enter in the command prompt as soon as you can.

Sir,

My crash to desktop has been SOLVED! I owe CLASSICSHELL an apology. It crashed due to a BLUETOOTH shell loading on startup and had NOTHING to do with your excellent software which I continued and continue to use.

Respectfully,
Jasper
