Error loading explorer.exe
I downloaded a driver for a Linksys ethernet card. I extracted the files and
then I "installed" the driver in a DOS box. Then I rebooted the machine running Win ME and received the error message: "Error loading explorer.exe You must reinstall Windows". I have tried the following with no help: 1. Used the Win ME rescue disk and ran scandisk /all and scanreg /restore. 2. Extracted explorer.exe, shdocvw.dll, mshtml.dll, comctl32.dll, shlwapi.dll, msvcrt.dll, and user32.dll. 3. I have run Norton virus scan for 14 hours with no viruses found. 4. I have edited the System.ini file and changed the shell from explorer.exe to Winfile.exe or Progman.exe or Taskman.exe, but the error message just changes from explorer.exe to "Error loading Winfile.exe ..." etc. 5. The computer will not boot in Safe Mode. What else can I do? What other files should be extracted? |
