Explorer Error – Windows XP Professional
LockedUnfortunately I have an Explorer Error (not internet explorer…I know a lot of people confuse the two) This is what happened. I downloaded some update from Microsoft’s website that I supposedly needed in order to change my Comcast password on the Comcast website. When the computer finished the download and re-booted I no longer had any desktop icons, just my desktop picture, and an Explorer Error. I started in safe mode, but still the same thing.
The error reads
AppName:explorer.exe
ModName:kernel32.dllI have gone into the Task Manager and tried to run explorer.exe from there….but get the same error (duh). When I ‘browse’ I can see all my files…so I plugged in a USB Memory Stick and tried to send files to it…but that failed ;-(
I ran a System File Checker Scan(sfc /scannow) and a Check Disk chkds /rk ….both came up with nothing.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
