Cannot open My Computer
When I attempt to open My Computer or My Documents, I get
an Explorer error referring to MSHTML.DLL. I have just finished reformatting the hard drive, reinstalling WinME and all updates and refreshing antivirus and spyware software. What to do??? |

What did you do AFTER you last knew that My Comp. and My Docs. worked?
Perhaps a couple of uninstalls (virusware and antispyware utils) and a couple of SR's might bring it back. Mart "ltarras" wrote in message ...

I simply transferred some backup files from a Zip Cart
into the My Documents folder. I had the My Docs folder backed up for the reformat. Now I can't seem to sift through it cuz it won't open. -----Original Message----- What did you do AFTER you last knew that My Comp. and My Docs. worked?

Did you try a System Restore?

No. I didn't think System Restore would be an option
because I had just reformatted the hard drive and was in the process of reinstating the personal data into the My Documents folder. I'll check and see if a Restore Point is available.

If you are still struggling, try searching the MS Knowledge Base for
"MSHTML.DLL" under Windows Millennium Edition - Exact phrase option. There are five items there, one of which *may* apply to your installation. Did you update IE by any chance? - You *may* need to repair it. Mart wrote in message ...
