Windows XP Volume Shadow Service Error (VSS Error)

[komplexnous]

This is extremely annoying!!! I use MobydockDX (get it at www.mobydock.com), and I keep getting a VSS error when my family uses AOL on this computer (P4 2.4B; GeForce4 Ti4200 8X 128MB; VIA P4PB Motherboard; 512MB DDR RAM). I hate AOL, but my computer should be able to handle it (with no %$@#&*% errors!!!) even if it is lousy software!!! When AOL closes, MobydockDX does as well!! When I look at WXP's Event Viewer, it tells me that there is a VSS Error coupled with an EventSystem Error then the application error with MobydockDX!!

Here are the errors in event viewer leading to the closing of MobydockDX (in order) :angry: :

:cry:

I have tried disabling VSS and the Event service and COM+ service, but the same problem occurs. I have also tried the Microsoft fix to pop in the XP CD to start with it, then hit enter to install it, then hit R to fix the installation (not in the XP environment). It fixed my problem for a while, then....wait!!

I just remembered something. I installed the 45.23 Nvidia video driver when I did this fix, and I just updated to 53.03....this may be the problem (the new driver).

However, I am still going to post this in the event that downgrading my driver does not fix the problem, which is will most likely happen. I will also try to use Y'zDock, Objectdock, or something instead of Mobydock for a day or two to see if the software is buggy (it is beta), but last time I tried this, the error was still in the Event Viewer. :unsure:

ANY help WILL be appreciated!!!!

Thank you to anyone who reads and/or responds!!

ANNNNNDDD......NOTHING!!!

Same %@&$ problem!!! I uninstalled 53.03, and the problem still came up. This time, without MobydockDX open and AOL, so neither of them can be the culprit! I just don't know anymore.

Any suggestions, helpful comments, or just comments!??!!? LMAO!! THIS SUX!!! :angry:
