Well I remember when I was having this issue, I was running Avast antivirus, Windows defender wasn't installed or was off, Windows XP and not sure what DEP is so not sure if it was on or off.

I no longer use Windows so I can't be of anymore help. However here's a thought. Try a fresh install of XP, update it till most current, then install eraser. Then try a fresh install of XP, install eraser, then update till most current. Then try a fresh install of XP, install eraser, then...

I've noticed that most programs that install things in the right click menu cause explorer freezes in XP sp3 with all current updates. It seems whatever Microsoft did, it fudged more than just eraser. Right now the only way I can keep explorer from freezing on right click is to not have ANY...

I'm still having issues also. XP sp3 with all current updates. It seems this may be an issue with some update or change in XP. I didn't have any issues with eraser on XP a couple months ago.

Not sure if it's related but I know some recent updates (installed before I installed eraser on this fresh install) have messed up my shutdown process. This computer used to shut down automatically after clicking "shut down" but now I have to wait till it says that it's safe to shut down and...

I'm on XP 32bit, entropy polling was never enabled on any of my installs of eraser. It still freezes the whole computer (just tried installing again). This time to verify it was 100% the context menu eraser puts in, I disabled the content menu addition from within eraser and XP doesn't freeze.

I'm sorry, I was mistaken about one thing in my first post. I was using version 5.8.7 when this issue happened. I had meant to say that 5.86a download link leads to an empty page. Some more notes... Eraser worked on same computer with Windows XP SP3 (I had to reinstall Windows yesterday and...

Basically it seems this topic is what I'm having issues with but it is locked so I'm posting here. After I installed 5.8.7 on a fresh Windows XP install with SP3 and all current updates as of this post.. if I right click on any file/folder/shortcut/etc the entire Windows will freeze. I have...
