Can you post the message? That'd help for sure.

Nautilus is the Gnome file manager. I think it also has functions on the desktop, but I'm not sure.

The error is as follows:
"The Application "nautilus" has quit unexpectedly.
You can inform the developers of what happened to help them fix it. Or you can restart the application right now."

Are you saying that you've reinstalled Fedora Core several times from scratch and you get this same error? If so, get new install CD's.

Yes, i have. This install is actually quite new, as well. Only a couple of days, but i have always had this error.
Get new install CD's?! All i did was burn the ISOs..

Well, if you've installed several times and get the same error, one of the Cd's is bad...or it is possible you have a bad sector or 2 on your hard drive.

Are you running the x86_64 version? There is a post in the AMD64 forum called "Nautilus won't run". Excellent how-to to fix the problem... as long as your problem is the same...

Maybe you have to go back in time a little bit further. The thread started at 2004-07-05 and is called "Nautilus won't run" indeed.
Basically you have to patch the Orbit package, the link to the patch and a how-to is also in that thread. As a qick workaround you can try to disable on of your cdrom-drives in /etc/fstab (if you have two drives, for example cdrom and cdrw). The error has something to do with the amounts of devices to mount...
