Since yesterday I have two error boxes popping up as soon as I log in to my Windows XP (SP3) account announcing:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime error! Program: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.There are no strange services running and no errors in the system or application event log. Any ideas how to trace what causes this error? I have scanned for viruses, and run the sfc (system file checker).
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
UPDATE:
I've uninstalled a few applications that I had recently installed (MS Visual C# 2010 Express, Visual Web Developer, SQL Server 2008 and with it a Visual C++ 2010 Runtime as well as MySQL Workbench) and my problem was solved. Is anyone aware of incompatibilities with Windows XP SP3? Is there any way to pinpoint the problem without randomly guessing what is clashing on your system?

Windows Explorer does not use the Visual C++ runtime. The problem is caused by code injected into explorer.exe. From what you are describing, that code could have a dependency on Visual C++ 2010 Runtime and would fail to run when it is missing. Uninstalling the Visual C++ 2010 Runtime is not the solution, the Runtime is popular among developers and you may get the runtime back when you install some other software that depends on the runtime.
There are many ways to inject code into explorer.exe, from Shell extensions to software keyboards, from virus to global hooks. You can use the freeware tool ShellExView to list (and potentially disable) shell extensions. As of checking what DLL got loaded into explorer.exe you can use Process Explorer from sysinternals.
Since it looks like you are a software developer, you probably can look into the crash dump. When explorer crash, save a crash dump and analyze the dump in windbg to see what is really going on.

This application has requested execution in a usually elsewhere. "I get this dialog box and click OK several times before the laptop finally starts. Any help would be appreciated for this problem.
I uninstalled McAfee and restarted the laptop. The problem seems to persist. When I finally got to Windows to restart, I also removed the printer and imaging-HP Photosmart driver and restarted the laptop again. Who did the tour and the question was not re-emerged even after I reinstalled McAfee and the driver of the HP Photosmart camera.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.

AH HA!
I finally solved this!
The culprit is a virtual CD drive. I have an installed application and allows me to mount a disk image file (.) (ISO) as a virtual drive. When I have a virtual disk mounted, I get error VC ++, but when I eject the virtual disk, so there is no more virtual drives, DVD Maker is happy.
Thanks for your help, Ronnie.

I searched in vain a fix, and I uninstalled Abbyy Fine Reader, installed all the Windows critical updates, the latest version of Windows Visual C, as well as a few things proposed in various forums, all without success.

Anyone has any ideas that might actually work?
Thank you.

Hello
- What application you use to display pictures?
Try the SFC scan on the computer.
SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.
Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.
