REPAIRING A Corrupted Windows (not internet) Explorer
Hello, I was wondering if there is anyway to repair one of the corrupted
files in Window Explorer in WIN 98 without having to completly re-install. I have switched out my "explorer.exe" file so that is not the problem, I'm pretty sure it is not a corrupted registry problem either, as i have tested that. I assume Explorer.exe is in a program (along with several other files and file types) to manage files in WIN98. Does anyone know what these other files types are ie .DLL or .DAT etc. Or can some one tell me where I might be able to access some site that will give me this answer. Thank you very much in advance. |

Instead of asking us how to check something, provide complete details on
what is happening and let us try to figure out what to do. If there are error messages, provide them verbatim. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "mrbigbry" wrote in message ...

What is the problem you are having, if any? Any error message? Then,
click the Details button, R-Clk inside the message, & post it. BUT, we DON'T want to see register contents! "START button, Run, MSInfo32, Tools tab, IE Repair Tool". E & IE are closely related. They share .DLLs. However, I'm not sure it does all that much, and some do report it crashes on their machine, apparently in an orderly manner. It does produce a rather long "Fix IE Log.txt" in C:\Windows. If it crashes, a reinstall of IE is indicated. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=194177 Description of the Internet Explorer Repair Tool But to have a look at Explorer's ton of .DLLs.. ......Quote........

What file is corrupted or missing? How do you know it's corrupted or
missing? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), AH-VSOP mrbigbry wrote: unfortanatly I already tried this and it shows everything is OK, but thank you for the effort.

Hello, I was wondering if there is anyway to repair one of the corrupted files in Window Explorer in WIN 98 without having to completly re-install. Yes - if you can identify which file you need to replace! You can use Extract /? to see the syntax used to extract replacement files from the Windows .cab set, but these may be older than the ones on your PC (think patches, per-system uprades e.g. IE, DirectX etc.) See also http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/dllhell.htm Included in the above are tips on checking Scandisk and av logs to see if any relevant files were "fixed" or "cleaned"; a good starting point, as often there will be residual damage to such files. But before doing that, check hardware and do a formal virus scan. Most hardware errors are random, but a failing HD can be the exception; if a bad sector lies within a particular file, the crash pattern may stay consistent with a problem within that file. See http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/bthink.htm Also, consider that the "Explorer" issues may be due to something integrated withv Explorer. Start by turning off BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) within IE, which can affect Windows Explorer too; go Tools, Options, Advanced in IE 6 (can't do this in older IE) and UNcheck "Enable third-party browser enhancements". Also, turn OFF "View as Web Page" and Active Desktop, and thus any script or HTML baggage and/or attacks that these may bring. You can also manage the startup axis via MSConfig, NirSoft's startup manager, or (less reversibly) HiJackThis. Lastly, drill into shell extensions using NirSoft's Shell Extension Viewer, from http://www.nirsoft.net ------------ ----- --- -- - - - - Drugs are usually safe. Inject?
