"Explorer has caused error...
....in unknown. Explorer will now close." etc,etc.
Any thoughts as to how best to first approach this curious error message? BTW, SP1 was installed on the machine from a cd-rom, and after the error messages started popping up, I even re- installed SP1! Thanks in advance. |

Since there are no SP's for Win ME, it sounds like you're using Windows XP,
and should post this query to a more appropriate newsgroup. OTOH, the following applies to both ME and XP Such errors are often caused by spyware - download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "stufis" wrote in message ... ...didn't seem to do any good.

Hi Noel-
I'm an ME kinda guy, not XP. I now suspect some crap being loaded from a Toshiba cable modem disc (perhaps checking off the wrong things once or three times...). So I went to the handy System Restore and chose a 30-day point. All is well...now to be careful with the dang Toshiba disc! Thanks for responding, Noel. BTW, I ran Ad-aware, nothing came up. Until the next time, as the announcer says... -----Original Message----- Since there are no SP's for Win ME, it sounds like you're using Windows XP, and should post this query to a more appropriate newsgroup.

glad you've got it sorted - but it's dangerous going back that far with SR!!
