I'm having a problem with my pictures folder. Every time I open the folder I get an error and it shuts down. The application name is explorer.exe, appver 6.0.2900.2180, offset 0004e301. It refers to gdipluss.dll. Can someone help me fix this problem?
I'm not close to my computer right now so I will try using the OS disk. I actually thought about using it, but I wanted to check with the community first. I will let you know if it works.
You might try a system file checker. This will check your files and replace missing or corrupt files on your system.
How to run System File Checker
Click on Start then Run. In the Run box, type
sfc /scannow and then
OK.
Note: space between c and /
You may be asked for your Windows CD, if asked insert it
Gdipluss.dll is not a Windows system file nor is it a part of Windows XP so it is doubtful that either a repair reinstallation or running system file checker is likely to correct the problem that it is causing.
Your right the other sugguestions did not fix the problem, but it was worth a try. What is the best way to take care of this issue. I have a lot of family pictures that I don't want to lose.
What is the exact wording of the error you receive? (I have three different versions of gdiplus.dll on my system and none is in either system32 or dllcache which would be used to replace a corrupted one in system32.)
