Error in loading explorer.exe you must reinstall windows
Hello - please help me. I got a direct hit on Microsoft's
site in reference to the above issue but still can't get into windows ME - even in safe mode. When I power on the computer I get this message, "error loading explorer.exe you must reinstall windows." I tried to extract the explorer.exe file from the restoration disk and power the computer back up - but that didn't work. Same error message. The tech folks at gateway walked my through syster restore but that didn't work. Same error message. So, is there any other suggestions and if I have to reinstall windows ME would I lose all my programs and saved files. Any way of reinstalling windows me without losing anything? It seems that some folks say that if you reinstall windows you will not lose everything other folks say you will - who is right? Or do I have to take out my hard drive and put that hard drive into another computer and back up the files than put the hard drive back into my computer and reinstall windows? Thanks! |

Error in loading explorer.exe you must reinstall windows
The same thing happened to me on 6/5 after downloading
Microsoft Secutity patches. I was unable to restart after spending an hour with a Dell support person. Bad news I lost all files from the last back up which unfortunately was a whilde back. A lesson learned. Good luck!! -----Original Message----- Hello - please help me.

If you do the reinstall the right way, there's no reason you should lose
either data or programs. http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/reinME.htm -- 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 " wrote in message ...
