"Lockdown" Error Code 38 data gathering.

I've had error code 38 on my Aran when I try to enter monster life since around last July. 2 days go (12th Jan 2014), I was at oblivion 5 just collecting bells (pet also loots equips/etc/use), and I cc'd and got error code 38. A cc is required to obtain the error code 38 whether it be leaving dimensional invasion/evolution lab or just a regular cc. Yesterday someone told me how to fix it, I dced on my Aran on the resolution of 1366 x 768, so he told me to change resolution on a mule character (within acc), and after entering pic to click the maplestory border at the top and I managed to fix it and play my Aran again. Then today I was at dimensional invasion on my Aran and upon exiting dimensional invasion (which makes you cc), I dced and got error code 38. I tried the same method as yesterday to fix it by changing resolution and clicking the border but it did not work. As for inventory, I collected a bunch of equips and bells/frozen D's(or whatever letter they are at now). My use and equip were almost full before I left dimensional invasion to my doom. I have expanded my inventory greatly but it's not maxed yet. I think I'm at 6x/9x for inventory space in etc/use/equip if that helps.

Edit: I forgot to mention my friend had error code 38 today upon entering cash shop. I was helping him xfer 6 cs equips onto his main, and when he tried entering cash shop he got error code 38. So he traded the 6 equips to me and tried entering cash shop again and he didn't get error code 38. So I have a theory that for what causes error code 38 upon entering cash shop could possibly be determined by both how many cash shop equips you have in your cash shop, as well as the amount of equips you have in your inventory that CAN be xferred into cash shop. So a possible fix for those who have trade able cash shop equips in their inventory and get error code 38 upon entering cash shop could be to xfer the tradeable cash shop equips and try entering cash shop. (This however will not work for those with non-tradeable cash shop equips)
Never mind I just read the earlier posts on this thread

EDIT: WAIT A SECOND. My medal UI inventory was kind of shuffled. Is that normal? As in, the medal order wasn't right. It started happening at the time they added Root Abyss, I remember clearly.

EDIT2: Ok, I think I remember something... 1 medal was in fact removed from the count. But I never figured out which one. Anyone remembers this? I do because I love collecting medals and have over 100 of those.

My medal UI is also shuffled, I wonder if medal count is also a variable to the amount of items in inventory?

Also the trend of error code 38 being monster life~>cash shop~>main char, I don't think it works that way. My friend didn't have monster life and only had cash shop error code 38 then main char, whilst I on the other hand only had monster life ~>main char(though I don't know if it also included cash shop since I hardly go in it).

Would removing all the useless items from monster life "storage" such as daily coupons and such allow me to go into monster life on my main? (I would like to test it but my Aran is error code 38'd and the new fix doesn't work) I think I'll test to see if removing character cards, might allow me to go on my Aran.

Edit 2: Removed character cards and links from my main, still hasn't fixed the problem. Also tried the resolution change again & hasn't worked. =(
