I have multiple users on my home computer. I have set them up with certain permissions, but now they can open IE explorer. It read error and asks to send error to Microsoft. No matter if I pick yes or no. it loops in to that cycle. Send will never open, but when you use the browser on outlook it let you search the internet. With this problem it won?t even let me open control panel. Explorer crashes. I ran Norton anti-virus it didn?t find anything. I also wipe the acct and created a new one and it does the same thing, but that doesn?t happen when I give them administrative privileges it works fine. PLEASE ADVICE

Which OS are you using? If it is WIn98 I would hesitate to use user accounts as W98 goes AWOL with anything complicated.

On NT OSes You will lose control of the machine if everyone has admin privilege and internet usage logged on as admin is not advised; you might need to grant at least "power user" privileges for general usability of applications. Internet connections and settings need to be run for each user. Also Check that Norton is correctly configured with your user accounts.

If problem persists, uninstall Norton, set up all your accounts, re-install Norton and during install choose to "use existing Windows accounts" (or with the account manager wizard).

Your windows explorer is damaged. Whenever you click an icon or IE, it gives you error that explorer is, bla bla... needs to close. The easiest for me to fix this is to reformat and reinstall os, and make sure you install antivirus before you connect to internet.
