[TC 7.04a] Invalid parameter error

[Egh]

Strange behavior:

on 7.04a I encounter "Invalid Parameter Error" alert window.

Steps to reproduce:

• on any file on NTFS volume, open properties, subtab "Summary".
• Attempt to enter any info there or change any already there (if present). Can be "comments", "keywords", etc. Can be either Simple or Advanced view of the tags.
• Press OK and the aforementioned alert window is displayed. Even if you click OK the Properties windows will not be closed, thus only option is to click on Cancel.

Additional comments:

• If you don't make any changes in the "Summary" tab you can close window as normal (by clicking on OK button). You can make any changes (like security permissions) as well.
• I can enter comments from Explorer window and it works.
• The problem is 100% reproducible so far, even if I restart TC7.04a.

Most important: my OS is Windows XP 64bit SP2, so I reckon problem is with 64bit explorer, but that is just a guess.

Is "x64DisableRedirection" enabled in your wincmd.ini?

Does the same happen if you use the 32Bit explorer instead of TC?

Code: Select all

%windir%\SysWOW64\explorer.exe /separate

Are you sure it's on any file type or just one specific file type like "*.jpg"?

Cheers for that parameter, wasn't even aware you can run both explorer.exe on 64bit windoze simultaneously :shy:

In short, problem is detected in the same way if explorer32 is used.... :O Looks it is a windows bug after all, however crazy it sounds.

update: what if x64DisableRedirection is for then? I haven't found any parameter with "x64" in wincmd.ini file.

This may be caused by a faulty shell extension:

- Download ShellExView(32 bit version)

- Disable one by one the Shell Extension of type "Property Sheet" (normally the shell extensions from MS are ok).

- Try with TC if the problem is gone.

what if x64DisableRedirection is for then? I haven't found any parameter with "x64" in wincmd.ini file.

x64DisableRedirection=0
1: Disable the redirection of windows\system32 to windows\syswow64 directory on 64-bit Windows versions.
Can have some negative side effects like non-working plugins.

If you don't really need it, I suggest to keep the default.
