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® 98 , Windows® 98 SE,
Windows® Me

ISSUE: After starting Microsoft® Windows® 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=Explorer.exe". This is typically the
third line in the file.

(4) Edit the "Shell=Explorer.exe" line by deleting the "Explorer.exe"
text and replacing it with "Winfile.exe". The line should list the
following:
Shell=Winfile.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=Winfile.exe". This is typically the
third line in the file.

(20) Edit the "Shell=Winfile.exe" line by deleting the "Winfile.exe"
text and replacing it with "Explorer.exe". The line should list the
following:
Shell=Explorer.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.

(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=20

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=20

box
that displays "Virus/spyware found. Do you wish to
remove?" or "Do you want to install Spyware Monitor?"=20

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.

Yes, this explanation is better. You cannot boot to Normal or Safe Mode,
& Explorer complains over itself. Therefore, this is the right fix for
you. BUT, what is going wrong? (We don't want to reinstall all of
Windows. We JUST want to over-install IE.) Do you know what version of
IE you are? My guess from Properties, Details button, of R-Clk your
post...
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4910.0300
....is that you are IE5.5. THAT one should be repairable. (But it isn't
working.)

Let me look carefully at what you are doing...

So, Step (12) of the procedure did not work. That means you didn't opt
to retain the ability to revert to an earlier IE when you installed
IE5.5. So, next would be to over-install IE5.5. Let's see... You went to
the wrong one (Q249191), which basically does the same as the steps I
posted-- a reversion.

But later you made it to the Over-Install of IE (Q293174). Here, this is
my write-up for that. (I have removed references to IE6 to simplify)...

(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=Explorer.exe" to
"Shell=Progman.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.

If it asks for an internet connection, let it connect, if it can.
Anyway, 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.

....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.

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

(a) Enter "EDIT C:\Windows\System.ini"
(b) In the [Boot] section, change back to "Shell=Explorer.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.

|
| 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

Mine is IE6. Does the step still apply?

Baxter.

-----Original Message-----
Yes, this explanation is better. You cannot boot to=20

Normal or Safe Mode,
& Explorer complains over itself. Therefore, this is the=20

right fix for
you. BUT, what is going wrong? (We don't want to=20

reinstall all of
Windows. We JUST want to over-install IE.) Do you know=20

what version of
IE you are? My guess from Properties, Details button, of=20

R-Clk your
post...
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4910.0300
....is that you are IE5.5. THAT one should be=20

repairable. (But it isn't
working.)

Let me look carefully at what you are doing...

So, Step (12) of the procedure did not work. That means=20

you didn't opt
to retain the ability to revert to an earlier IE when=20

you installed
IE5.5. So, next would be to over-install IE5.5. Let's=20

see... You went to
the wrong one (Q249191), which basically does the same=20

as the steps I
posted-- a reversion.

But later you made it to the Over-Install of IE=20

(Q293174). Here, this is
my write-up for that. (I have removed references to IE6=20

to simplify)...

(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.=20

(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.

If it asks for an internet connection, let it connect,=20

if it can.
Anyway, select "Custom" & only check the items that have=20

a bold
checkbox, to avoid it will want the internet. Do not=20

take the
Multi-language Support, if you've done without it this=20

long. The only
one in bold there for me is Language Auto-Selection.=20

Perhaps try for
just that.

....snip of IE6Setup references...

If you are IE5, "ie5setup.exe" will be in "C:\Windows=20

Update Setup
Files". (You may also use the copy in "C:\Program=20

Files\Internet
Explorer", which is "C:\Progra~1\Intern~1" to DOS. Well,=20

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)=20

pane.
(e) D-CLK "IE5Setup.exe" to run it.

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

(a) Enter "EDIT C:\Windows\System.ini"
(b) In the [Boot] section, change back=20

to "Shell=3DExplorer.exe"
(c) Alt-F-X-ENTER to EXIT. (TAB to get to buttons. ENTER=20

to accept a
button.)
(d) Ctrl-Alt-Del to Windows.

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

Ok! Heres is what happens.

When I boot I receive the following message:

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will
be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor."

{Details}
EXPLORER caused an invaild page fault in module
EXPLORER.EXE at 0167:00401f31.

I select Close, the wallpaper is there but without
taskbar and desktop icon.

When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, the list of active
programs is empty.

Now, I will hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, and reload in Windows 98SE
in Normal mode and show the same error again.

I then try the recommendation on article no. 269211,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-

us;296211 but won't
help.

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".

I did not proceed to next step bcos the setup cannot be
completed but don't what problem.

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
reinstall all components". Fail! How do I reinstall
components?

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."

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.

What next?

Same message and response in SAFE MODE!!

There is another posting on 3th Oct with the same error
message but mine don't so much other error.

Hope this explanation is better.
