In the right mouse button menu in the x64 version is a little bit caotic:

(sorry, I can not enter link or image, because the forum engine does not allow it...)

- the runas is the Run as administrator
- the @shell32.dll,-50944 is the run as...

The language is the default English

You are getting the replacement right click menu which is shown when getting it via OLE2 crashes. I guess that something is wrong with the right click menu settings. Do you get a working right click menu in Explorer?

I've just made a quick test for the same filr from TCx64 and from explorer:
With explorer is OK: http://sirai.hu/kep/explorer_RMB.jpg
But with TC now I observed thet it only appear on the second right click and every richt click after it. On the first right click, nothing happens. But if I just press the RMB button on the keyboard, I've got the following error:
---------------------------
Total Commander 8.0ß1
---------------------------
Access violation.
Access violation

With the 32 bit version everything is OK, the RMB menu and the X64 section also.

It seems solved on a little bit strange way: I tried to disable the shell extensions on the RMB menu one-by-one.
After I disabled the extensions of the Power Archiver, it working! The strange part: Now I re-enabled, and still working...

Yes, this happens sometimes when a registry key is bad. One common error is that the string is not zero-terminated. The registry editor can handle that, TC too, but the Windows function for loading the context menu can't, and crashes.

Do you still get this with beta 2 or 3? It may have been caused by the bad exception handling, which was fixed in beta 2.

Since the extensions were re-added to the RMB menu, the error disappeared, I can not reproduce it anymore.

In my case the problem was the RMB menu extension of the Powerarchiver. I only disabled and re-enabled it!

Try finding out what program is causing it with ShellExView. Just use the search function for ShellExView to find instructions on how to disable/re-enable context menu extensions. It looks like one of them is configured incorrectly.

1. Get the free tool ShellExView:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html
2. Start it. On 64-bit systems, start ShellExView with /wow64 command line parameter.
3. Sort the shell extensions by type
4. Disable all context menu shell extensions one by one (you can hide/keep those belonging to Windows, they are usually OK).
5. Continue until Total Commander stops crashing
6. Now you can re-enable the extensions which don't cause any problems

Addendum Step 2: Parameter /wow64 only if the problem exist in 32Bit Version of TC on 64Bit Windows systems.
