I had a so-stated "Serious Error" report listing 2 files of this very same type {C:\DOCUME~1\MyName\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2644.DIR00\mINI012210-01.dmp AND ANOTHER VERY SIMILAR FILE NOTATION}, and immediately causing my system to re-boot when i installed a new Pioneer DVR Drive on my PC. The computer has functioned normally since, but I have been reluctant to try the new DVR, as this was a replacement for a new Pioneer DVR drive which spun the disc in the drive so hard that it ended yo in at least 100 pieces. Can you tell me please

Try this. Make two Compressed (Zipped) folders. Put one inside the other. Then open the first one containing the second one. When you open the second one you will see this path:
C:\DOCUME~1\*Name*\LOCALS~1\Temp\Temporary Directory 2 for *Name of Compressed (zipped) Folder.zip*\*Name of Compressed (zipped) Folder (2).zip.*
Now look at all of the folders in C: and you will notice that, at the bottom, a new folder has appeared: Docume~1.
Can you tell me anything about this? It is exactly the same as C:\Documents and Settings but it appeares in a different spot on my disk now. Also, whatever folder I make in C:\Docume~1 shows up on C:\Documents and Settings. Any reason why this folder pops up?

Hi Leo! I have done a command scan to see if there are any corrupt files on my pc & it turned up one known as: C:\Windows\Logs\CBS
I have opened the file and it is very recent & there are a lot of .cab files in the folder. However, I don't know what CBS is & I have not downloaded any software of that name. Is it safe to delete these files please?
