Dear all

I've got Classic Shell 4.2.5, which is the latest version. (I am confident I have the latest version. However, when trying to verify this, I find that I can't locate the version number - I've forgotten how. Surely this needs fixing i.e. should be easier.)

Sometimes when Windows boots it tells me that Classic shell has crashed. Now, Classic Shell seems, nevertheless, to work as normal - yet, I would like to be rid of this error message.

Advice, please? Thanks.

Windows 8.1 x64.

What is the exact error message? A screenshot would be helpful.

Thanks. I haven't a screenshot, though I'll take one the next time the opportunity arises, should the information that I give now - from the Windows Event Log - prove insufficient.

This further message in the log, occuring some 15 minutes later, may be related [EDIT: probably it isn't; rather, it's Sky-OneDrive complaining that I've disabled as much of it as I can):

(Sorry for the formatting of these logs - it's the fault of Windows Event Viewer.)

Can you capture a crash dump using these instructions? viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6 If it's crashing at startup when Windows boots and closes, simply run procdump -e explorer.exe as those instructions say from an elevated command prompt and then run C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicStartMenu.exe. If it crashes at startup it should crash when loaded manually too.

Sorry for the belated reply.

Well, (1) it does not crash when loaded manually. Indeed it crashes at startup only occasionally; the problem is intermittent. (2) I tried to generate a crash dump after one of the intermittent crashes, but I received an error message from procdump to the effect that there was more than one explorer.exe process.
