I need help badly...
I have searched everywhere for a solution to no avail..the problem is this.
I click start/run/browse...application error and it closes. Event viewer shows error in comdlg32.dll.
I am in any application other than MSOffice, I click file/open/browse..application error and it closes. Same event.
I click start/run/notepad...application error, same as above
I try to print from within IE6, application error and it closes, same as above.
I can copy anything from a web page into MSOffice and it prints fine, I can browse files everything..no problem.
If I try to browse any file other than going into My Computer and following the tree up and down I get an error and the application closes. This isn't limited to the windows applets but also browsing for files in 3rd party applications as well.
HELP!

I have Norton systemworks 2004 installed, which has spyware detection and prevention inherent in it. I'll try the others though. It can't hurt.

I did that this morning, It ran but gave me no messages when it finished. I assumed that all critical files where intact or did I miss something?
All patches and updates are current and Norton finds nothing irregular. This has been going on for months now. I have found work arounds for most everything, but I have 3rd party software that requires me to load from several directories and each time I try to browse and switch, it errors out.
/sigh...I'm desperate but don't want to reinstall XP!

yes, the problem still exists. I can recreate it at anytime simply by trying to browse from the run menu. And my comdlg32.dll is exactly the same, ver, size and date.
Running spybot now.
