Windows cannot find "(null)"
Friday, June 3, 2005 by Jafo | Discussion: Personal Computing
Lately, when dl clicking on a file...eg a jpg .... Paintshop Pro loads...but this error pops up. Then I dl click on the file again and it'll load.
This is using Explorer Plus....but Windows Explorer is the same.
I'm assuming I have a service stopped that cause the error....yet dl clicking on a doc file loads word just fine.
Any ideas?
Google didn't help as any refs to the error appear to be different issues or system-wide...

Following on....merrily....
Yet another Doze update has UN-broken the association....it now works.
Meanwhile....
Drive Image 7 has stopped.
This is a 'bigger' issue...as it's a necessary proggy, unlike a simple 'association'.
Seems I have joined the ranks of those-pissed-off-with-Powerquest-now-Symantec .....

Glad to hear you got PSP back to gravy.

Ghost 8 or 9, whatever, is just a re-badged Drive Image 7 ....Symantec bought Powerquest.
Just means it's [currently] a waste of money....having a proggy that has ceased to function.....stopped 10 days ago....probably the .net framework or some other damn MS update....

Egad....I dunno how you do it....
It looks like you solved yet another drama...
DI 7 is currently making a backup....just fine....
[what's the bet my PSP file associations are mangled again tho...but who cares?...]
Yer a genius.
Thanks, mate....

| Updates are current, as of yesterday....and yes, that one's installed |
| Get rid of it...... |
Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with the update? Seems OK here...

Well....for starters, it looks like it causes Drive Image 7 to fail to run.....which can be bad news to those relying on it for system backups...
Simple cause and effect....didn't work with it...worked perfectly once uninstalled....ergo...the hotfix is at fault...

Gah...
Dunno whether it's related....that net update isn't on....but latest issue is that NAV2004 doesn't want to run a system scan.....it just sits there looking Yellow.

OK Norton, you old fart...I just renewed my subscription...now is NOT the time to go belly-up.
Even my beta testing of 'In Defense' was infinitely less of an issue....AND I never got a virus....

Hmm....killed almost every process....even the shell...and Norton is working...
so....
Something loaded, or updated has caused the issue.
With norton now scanning I reloaded the shell...no dramas so far...btw...shell is LS of course....

oh...life goes on...rebooted into exploder just to be sure...but getting norton to do any kind of scan is a no-go.
What's the bet it's the new MS updater proggy...
