Windows cannot find "(null)"

from WinCustomize Forums

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...;)

Hey Peachy......see if you have KB886903 installed.......


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....

I'm trying to pluck up the courage for going through a full system uninstall of Norton....it's always a pain to remove all traces before redoing it.....and chances are it won't help, anyway....

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...

Are you using MS update V6?
Reply #61 from WinCustomize Forums Top
yes..the latest update thingie...but I'd already tried uninstalling it and didn't see any success...

I think we're talking about two different things: http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx

Norton has an update for Intel Management Systems. Look in their 'Live Update' section...
Reply #63 from WinCustomize Forums Top

yes...got that MS updater.....and thought it might have been the issue...so removed it...no change...so it's back on.

will look at the Management System thingie....though Norton itself is 'up to date'.

I have no idea if this helps, but what the hell....

I had that same happen and finally came to the conclusion that, that pspbrwse.jbf had to be the problem. So I did a search of all the pspbrwse.jbf on my system and deleted them.

and if I'm totally off base..blame the beer.

Delete the damn pspbrwse.jbf 's anyways. It's amazing how many you can rack up.
