I have found an issue with using Free Download Manager on Windows XP Pro Sp2. It used to work before then it suddenly causes Explorer to crash.
Here are some data about the extension installed by Free Download Manager
Extension name : FDMIECookiesBHO Class
Type : FDMIECookiesBHO Class
Filename : C:\Program Files\Free Download Manager\iefdmcks.dll
I discovered that this is the extension that caused Explorer to crash using ShellExView.
Note that I was a happy user of Free Download Manager for more than a year. This extension might have been affected by Windows Update. I was using Free Download Manager 1.8, this might be fixed with the newer version.
Here some side effects of this extension:
a) Clicking on a folder in the navigation view (treeview) that contains files in Explorer will crash the application.
b) Windows Event Viewer logs something like this:
Type: Information
Source: Winlogon
Category: None
Event ID: 1002
Description:
The Shell stopped unexpectedly and Explorer.exe was restarted.
Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: does not exist. [ OK ] * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Though it looks like installation was fine but I am concerned about its effects to VirtualBox functionality. To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re
