I can't access any of my folders. Help!
I was typing up a report recently when my computer shut
down. When I turned my computer back on, I tried to recover the document. The computer called the file "corrupted" and recovered some of it. However, now any folder I try to open responds with this message : "Microsoft Internet Explorer has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Please contact a vendor." Then, it also responds with this message: "An error has occurred in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer will now close. If this problem persists, please restart your computer." I can access nothing except for the internet and some documents I posted on the desktop. What should I do? I don't want to delete the entire program and reload it. Is there any other alternative? |

Last time on my machine that IE repair frose halfway was
because IE was corupt. Uninstal IE to it's previos version and then reinstall IE6. You will end up needing the tons of updates and security patches again. Have you tried running AdAware? Deleteing anything it finds and reboot and run it again until the search comes out clean. If you know of a good repair shop and would feel more comfortable to have them fix it? Then by all means do so. Alot of malware out there causes Windows not to function in a manner as what you describe. Always keep your AV program updated. But do not depend on it's auto update. Do it manually a couple times a week. If you have to reinstall your system. I would suggest with a fresh install to download and run HijackThis. That way...what it finds is what is mostly needed to boot windows. You can then put the first findings into the "Ignore" list. And after that when you run HijackThis if it shows anything? It will probly be something you don't need or want on your system. UNLESS you downloaded a program that put an entree in the Startup menu. That you may want to keep. And you would just have to add that to the ignore list. Once you get the innitial start up list,safely,in HyjackThis' ignore list. The program is less likely to kill your system. As opposed to running it for the first time after a few months of internet travel and downloads. -----Original Message----- -----Original Message----- I am going on a MVP's statement. And I agree.

If the repair didn't work, I would try an overinstall of IE.

I suspect that you have been hit by this parasite.

This may not be an answer.
But yesterday after virus difinition update. My AV program found a trojan that it did not see before the update. Darn it...I have the program set to purge it's logs at midnight. I think it was something like "msrvt.32dll" trojan. Good reason to update AV on a regular basis. Like daily. -----Original Message----- I suspect that you have been hit by this parasite.

Over-install IE. Try first without, but I believe it will request an
internet connection. Perhaps it is best to let it connect, actually. If you don't care to get this fancy, just skip to step (c). (a) Turn off interfering programs. Use http://www.pcmag.com/ 's "StartupCop" or "EndItAll2". Or "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab". Note what is unchecked, if anything. Then, go to the General tab & disable the entire Startup Group, by clicking "Selective.." & unchecking "Load Startup...". Reboot. (b) Perhaps, if you haven't got EndItAll2, then "Ctrl-Alt-Del" & end task all but Explorer & Systray. If this goes badly, start again from top, & skip it next time. (c) "START, Find, F/F, IE6Setup.exe". Click it in the Find window. NOTE: If you are IE5, then it's "IE5Setup.exe". If there are more than one (I have two each), click the one in "C:\WINDOWS\Windows Update Setup Files" or "C:\Windows Update Setup Files", as applicable. (d) Re-enable the Startup Group. That will automatically check all items. Go to the Startup tab & uncheck any noted in step (a). Reboot. (e) Perhaps go to Windows Update, to see whether it now offers criticals. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "JL" wrote in message ... | | -----Original Message----- | I am going on a MVP's statement.
