Each time I run the search, it goes thru all the drives, reports 0
files found and the starts on the 'Searching backup'. There are a lot
that flash by. And the error occurs in a different one each time.
Any idea what there are?
Other replies inline....

I was doing a search of My Computer, using Windows Explorer and got
the following error dialog.
The caption is "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library"
The message is:
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an
unusual way.
Please contact the application support team for more information."
The bottom bar of Explorer says:
"Searching Backup, Tue, Jan 20 09 16:29:59"
No drive, or directory I recognize.
It's repeatable. Google wasn't my pal on this one.

Any Hardware/software installed recently?
No.
Try to make sure the time and date set right on your system and also
configure Avast to boot scan your machine on start up.
Scan for malware with an up2date anti-malware.
Time/date are fine.
Avast scans on boot. Malwarebytes and SPybot D&D report no problems.
What happen if you boot into safe mode, does the issue occur or In
clean boot scenario?
Yes and yes.

It says it applies to SP2. And to only apply it if I have the

None of the 7 copies of msvcirt.dll on my machine seem to match that
one. I didn't understand how to get the date/time in UTC.

Did this machine been or connected to a mapped drives?
Your issue can arise from bad driver or corrupt software (software
became corrupt), also an overheated system can produce this issue.
How many accounts set up on this machine?
If it only on e try to create a new Profile/Account and test to see if
that account will not have the same issue, which conclude that the old
account is damaged/corrupt.

You might try the system file checker command:
sfc /scannow
Let me know your outcome.

The box is on a 3 computer network. It has had in the distant past a
drive mapped
from another computer, but no longer. No machine shows mapped drives.
There are
shared drives/directories.
Bad driver or corrupted software is a very broad area.
I created a new limited user. Same problem.
I couldn't install the .NET package because the .NET I have is newer. It
doesn't seem right to uninstall a newer one to install an older one,
does it?
Scannow asked for my SP3 CD. After it ran, the error persists.
Do you know what/where these backup that it errors in are located?
Helloooooooooooooo
Hi
Do you know what/where these backup that it errors in are located?

Sure. How do I do create something to send you?

OK - Thanks. I'll send the event log there.
Run a thorough scan by doing the following steps:
My issue occurs in Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer. I use Firefox, but I
suppose the steps are basically the same?
Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced .
Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called
[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on
[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [
Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.
= Then try to Disable the Add-Ons on your Browser somehow installed on your
browser, On how to disable the Add-ons follow this:
Click on Programs Tab and then click the Manage Add-Ons Button there Disable
the None/Not Verified Plug-ins/Add-ons ( you need to Renable them one-by-one
later and see which is the culprit .
How to manage Add-Ons:

Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.
Click [OK] to close the IE properties window.
Scan for malware from here:
We've already been thru all the AV and antimalware steps. I'm clean.
To access Event Viewer follow these steps:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

I sent the Event Viewer log and registry settings to your e-mail address.
I don't see that the KB article (816375) has any relevance, since I don't have any
flickering. Or is there another significance I've missed?
Is there a reason for not responding to the other points in my previous post? I've
asked 3 time now about the Backup that is being searched when my error occurs. If you
don't know, that's OK, but to not reply at all makes me wonder if we're still on the
same page. Please don't think I'm ungrateful for your help, I'm trying to learn from
it as well. My questions are in that spirit.

If you still sharing these shared drives/directories. You need to recreate
the shares again. Huh? Which drives/directories?
I can't really give you a specific answer from a vague/not exact verbatim
error message.
