explorer.exe error message...

[OUTLAWS high ping camper]

I keep getting an error messge stating that windows explorer.exe has created errors and will be shut down. Then all the icons in my systray disapear.
I went into (log) event viewer to see what was/is causing the problem. I'll post what it said.

I have also uninstalled IE6 and also my Norton's Anti Virus software, after having read that these programs have caused this error message.

Anyway....here's the first pic:

That's what I figured.

Thanks DirtGod.

I think I have to creat a repair disk to do that?

I assume you are using XP. System restore can be found if you click on help and then select it. Try to figure out when your problem started and pick a restore date before that. I've used it a couple times with great success. Start to finish took about ten minutes.

To repair, I think you just boot up with your xp cd and follow the instrutions. Never had to use that myself so I'm not sure of the acual procedure.
:cool:

I'm using Windows 2000.

I don't think it has a restore feature.

I'm going to mess with it durring my vacation.

I'm pretty sure it's a virus. My son got that message every 2 minutes and windows would have to restart. He ended up having to do a system restore :bandhead: :bandhead: I tried doing a search for the virus name but havent found it yet.. It may be msblast ?????????
