Default Explorer has caused an error in


Running WinME (OEM) on a Compaq Presario. Get "Explorer has caused an
error in unknown" as soon as desktop appears after boot. Don't know
what triggered this (helping a friend debug this) but the error keeps
coming up repeatedly if I close the error dialog. I tried reinstall by
booting from startup disk and running setup from Windows/options/cabs
but the error is still there after reinstall.

I tried doing windows update but get "IE has caused an error in
unknown". Netscape says it couldn't open a socket. However I do have a
good tcp/ip connection, I can ping my Linksys router with no problem and
got IP address from DHCP server.

So bottom line is I'm stuck with IE 5.x which won't work and since
windows update is based on IE I can't bring down IE 6.

What puzzles me is that I thought the reinstall would replace
broken/missing files but I still get the same desktop and errors after
the reinstall.

Unfortunately this system did not come with a CD so I can't wipe the HD
and just reinstall.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael
