Wait... this is better...

(1) Hold CTRL as you boot for the Startup Menu. Select to
boot to the "Command Prompt Only" (DOS).

(2) At DOS...

(a) Enter "EDIT C:\Windows\System.ini"
(b) In the [Boot] section, change "Shell=3DExplorer.exe" to
"Shell=3DProgman.exe"
(c) Alt-F-X-ENTER (pressed separately) to exit Edit. (TAB to get to
buttons. ENTER to accept a button.)
(d) Ctrl-Alt-Del to Windows running Progman.

(3) In Progman, over-install IE, which basically is E.
....snip of IE6Setup references...

If you are IE5, "ie5setup.exe" will be in "C:\Windows Update Setup
Files". (You may also use the copy in "C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer", which is "C:\Progra~1\Intern~1" to DOS. Well, if one fails,
then try the other)

(a) File menu, Run, Browse button.
Folders pane will be open at "C:\Windows" with sub-folders below
it.
(b) D-Clk "C:\" in the Folders pane to go up one level.
(c) Scroll down the Folders pane & D-Clk "window~1".
(d) "ie5setup.exe" now appears in the left (File Name) pane.
(e) D-CLK "IE5Setup.exe" to run it.
(f) Bolt "Add a Component", & click "OK".
(g) Select "Custom" & only check the items that have a bold
checkbox, to avoid it will want the internet. Do not take the
Multi-language Support, if you've done without it this long. The only
one in bold there for me is Language Auto-Selection. Perhaps try for
just that.

(4) Reboot back to DOS. Then...

(a) Enter "EDIT C:\Windows\System.ini"
(b) In the [Boot] section, change back to "Shell=3DExplorer.exe"
(c) Alt-F-X-ENTER to EXIT. (TAB to get to buttons. ENTER to accept a
button.)
(d) Ctrl-Alt-Del to Windows.

OK, that's it. Hope you are back up.

| When I boot I receive the following message:

| {Details}
| EXPLORER caused an invaild page fault in module

|=20
| I select Close, the wallpaper is there but without

|=20
| When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, the list of active

|=20
| Now, I will hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, and reload in Windows 98SE

|=20
| I then try the recommendation on article no. 269211,
| http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;296211 but =
won't
| help.
|=20
| Later I try the step posted on 29 Sept but when reach
| step 12 and click "setup.exe". A window title "setup"
| with message "was not completed sucessfully".
|=20
| I did not proceed to next step bcos the setup cannot be
| completed but don't what problem.
|=20
| Next try steps in article no. 249191,
| http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;
| [LN];249191. Step 3 in this is the same as article
| 269211, won't help. In step 6, a window appear, with
| selection for "add a component" or "repair Internet
| Explorer". This is not explain in article. But I select
| repair option and another window with yes and no option
| whether to repair IE. I choose yes, but a message show
| IE6 could not be repaired. Please run setup again to

| components?
|=20
| Next try steps in article no. 293174,
| http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=3D293174. Try method 1,
| Add/remove programs windows is empty(blank) and don't
| have MS IE5 and internet tools, cannot proceed to
| add/remove and repair. Try method 2, same, empty screen.
| Bottom of this article, "NOTE: If both methods fail, you
| may have to completely reinstall the Windows 98 operating
| system. It should be noted that the reinstallation of
| Windows 98 may result in the loss of some Windows
| configuration information and/or data."
|=20
| I can follow until the editing of system.ini and safe it
| and boot to Winfile but the results is not what as stated
| in article or as suggested.
|=20
| What next?
|=20
| Same message and response in SAFE MODE!!
|=20
| There is another posting on 3th Oct with the same error

| (1) Well, where did it go wrong in the way I posted?
| Did it get to Windows running Winfile?
| Be specific. It would be best to get that one to
| work.
|
| (2) Can you boot to Windows Normal Mode?
|
| (3) Can you boot to Safe Mode?

| I had hopes for that one, because it had your number:
| 00401F31. Well,
| here is what I meant to originally post. Try this one,
| especially if you
| also cannot boot to Safe Mode (hold F5 or CTRL as you
| boot to see)...
|
| Explorer & IE are basically one & the same. Therefore,
| may as well try
| this write-up, originally from a Gateway WEB site, which
| is a temporary
| reversion to an earlier version of IE...
|
| ONE THING: Do nothing more than stated here using
| Winfile, because, if
| you move a file with it, you will lose that file's LFN
| (Long File Name)
| in the destination.
|
| Desktop Icons and Taskbar Are Missing
|
| Affected Products: Software, System CDs
| Affected Operating Systems: Windows=AE 98 , Windows=AE 98
| SE,
| Windows=AE Me
|
| ISSUE: After starting Microsoft=AE Windows=AE 98 or Windows
| Me, the taskbar is missing and there are no icons. When
| starting Windows, the taskbar may flash on for a brief
| second and then disappear. The only display visible is
| the
| background wallpaper and the mouse cursor. Pressing
| CTRL+ALT+DELETE brings up the Close Program dialog box,
| but selecting End Task on the items on the list may not
| have an effect. When the computer is started into Safe
| mode, the issue still occurs. Running Scanreg /Restore
| does not resolve the issue.
|
| There have been several reports that the issue occurred
| when restarting the computer after receiving a dialog
| box
| that displays "Virus/spyware found. Do you wish to
| remove?" or "Do you want to install Spyware Monitor?"
| The
| dialog box only has Yes or No selections, and selecting
| either can cause the issue. There is no X to close the
| dialog box, however pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE to bring up
| the Close Program dialog box lists a "Remove found
| spyware?" entry, which can be end tasked.
|
| (1) Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, & click Shut Down.
|
| (2) After the computer has been shut down, turn on the
| computer. Hold
| CTRL as you boot for the Startup Menu, or begin pressing
| the F8 key in
| one-second intervals. If you complete this step
| successfully, the
| Microsoft Windows Startup Menu is displayed. If no menu
| is displayed and
| Windows starts up normally, repeat this step.
|
| (3) At the Microsoft Windows Startup Menu, use the ARROW
| keys to select
| "Command Prompt Only", and then press the ENTER key.
|
| (4) At the command prompt, type:
| EDIT C:\Windows\System.ini
| Press ENTER.
|
| (3) In the C:\Windows\SYSTEM.INI file, locate the line
| of text under the
| [boot] section that lists "Shell=3DExplorer.exe". This is
| typically the
| third line in the file.
|
| (4) Edit the "Shell=3DExplorer.exe" line by deleting
| the "Explorer.exe"
| text and replacing it with "Winfile.exe". The line
| should list the
| following:
| Shell=3DWinfile.exe
|
| (5) To save the changes, press the ALT+F keys.
|
| (6) A menu displays in the upper left corner of the
| screen. Press the X
| key to exit.
|
| (7) Press ENTER to save the changes and return to the
| command prompt.
| (TAB would move you to the next button.)
|
| (8) At the command prompt, restart the computer by
| pressing the
| CTRL+ALT+DELETE keys. Once Windows has restarted, it
| starts into the
| Windows File Manager (Winfile.exe).
|
| (9) In the File Manager window, double-click "progra~1"
| in the left hand
| window to open the Program Files folder.
|
| (10) Double-click "intern~1" in the left hand window to
| open the
| Internet Explorer folder.
|
| (11) Double-click "setup" in the left hand window to
| open the Setup
| folder.
|
| (12) In the File Manager window, double-
| click "Setup.exe" in the right
| hand window to launch Internet Explorer setup.
|
| NOTE: If the setup folder is not available, Internet
| Explorer has not
| been updated and a previous version of Internet Explorer
| cannot be
| restored. You cannot use this method. Close "Winfile",
| shut down, & post
| back, or try the URL at the very bottom of this post,
| which is an
| over-install of IE.
|
| (13) In the Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Tools Setup
| window, click
| OK.
|
| (14) In the Setup Message dialog box, click Yes to
| restore the previous
| version of Internet Explorer.
|
| (15) Internet Explorer setup removes components.
|
| (16) In the Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Tools -
| Restart Windows
| dialog box, click Restart Windows.
|
| When the computer is restarting, hold CTRL for the
| Startup Menu, or
| begin pressing the F8 key in one-second intervals. If
| you complete this
| step successfully, the Microsoft Windows Startup Menu is
| displayed. If
| no menu is displayed and Windows starts up normally,
| repeat this step.
|
| (17) At the Microsoft Windows Startup Menu, use the
| ARROW keys to select
| Command prompt only, and then press ENTER.
|
| (18) At the command prompt, type:
| EDIT C:\Windows\System.ini
| Press ENTER.
|
| (19) In the C:\Windows\SYSTEM.INI file, locate the line
| of text under
| the [boot] section that lists "Shell=3DWinfile.exe". This
| is typically the
| third line in the file.
|
| (20) Edit the "Shell=3DWinfile.exe" line by deleting
| the "Winfile.exe"
| text and replacing it with "Explorer.exe". The line
| should list the
| following:
| Shell=3DExplorer.exe
|
| (21) To save the changes, press the ALT+F keys.
|
| (22) A menu displays in the upper left corner of the
| screen. Press the X
| key to exit.
|
| (23) Press ENTER to save the changes and return to the
| command prompt.
| (TAB would move you to the next button.)
|
| (24) At the command prompt, restart the computer by
| pressing the
| CTRL+ALT+DELETE keys
|
| (25) Windows starts to a blue screen, but will still be
| accessing the hard drive for a period of time. When
| finished, Windows is on the desktop with icons, but an
| older version of Internet Explorer is installed. You
| should update your antivirus software, and then perform
| Windows Update to install a new version of Internet
| Explorer again.
