Ctrl - Alt - Delete, lexplorer listed twice

Iexploer shows up twice in the "end task list when I press
Ctrl - Alt - Delete. If by chance I get it to go away, It
comes back. I have tried to "Disk Cleanup", then tried to
run "Scan Disk" with and without "auto fix errors" but I
get the "10 times tried" message. I did "Ctrl - Alt -
Delete" to stop all the other programs and still can not
get "Scan disk" or "Disk Defragmenter" to run out. I am
running "Windows98 SE". I ran Norton AntiVirus a few times
with no problems found. Whats next?

Your post shows up twice also ;-)
For the Scandisk problem, try running it from Safe Mode, or better yet, have a look
here, by MS MVP Ron Badour:

Here is a little utility to automate it for you:

For the iexplore (Internet Explorer) problem of appearing twice, first try running a
repair on Internet
Explorer:

Click StartRun, type the following and click Enter, for IE5x:
RUNDLL32 SETUPWBV.DLL,IE5Maintenance

or this, if you have IE6x installed:
RUNDLL32 SETUPWBV.DLL,IE6Maintenance

Choose the Repair option, and continue.

If the repair says it cannot complete, or it does not fix the problem, reinstall
Internet Explorer:

Also, and probably should be done FIRST:

Update your anti-virus app and then run a full-system virus scan.

Use CWShredder, the CoolWeb removal tool, available he

In addition, install Ad-Aware 6 free edition, start it, click its 'Check for
Updates' link in the app to install updates, then use it to scan your system, and
remove what it finds.
