W98SE, Cannot get to HD Properties
 

When I right click the C: drive, I get an error message that states "This
program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the
problem persists, contact the program vendor." Well, this is Exploring and
it also happens with the window after double clicking "My Computer" and
right clicking the C drive.

After I click "OK", the message appears from MS Internet Explorer, "An error
has occurred in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer will now close. If you
continue to experience problems, please restart your computer." This occurs
all the time. I can right click anything but the drives (one hard drive - C:
and two CD drives).

If I left click on the drive, then click once on a menu item (not File), it
will display what is in the menu. If i move the mouse to other menu titles
(View, Go, Favorites, Help, Edit) it shows what is under them. If I move
the mouse over the "File" menu item, I get the same error messages as above.

Bob,


Forgot the "Details" on the first error message. It is as follows;

EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module SHELL32.DLL at 0167:66817cc0.
