I am running Me with 2K Office Prof added; recent updates for both have been downloaded. These two intermittent error messages have me stumped:

Explorer has caused a problem in
Kernel32.dll

Explorer has caused a problem in
MSVBVM60.DLL

Closing either of these error messages closes Internet Explorer. Restarting my computer, nor any one of countless other fixes I've tried, has helped. I'm an on-line college student and I'm getting desperate.

Which updates? and what hardware do you have?

The recent DirectX 9b update can cause problems with older video cards. If your video card driver does not support DirectX 9, that could be the problem. If the card manufacture does not offer a new driver that supports DirectX 9b, you either need to uninstall the new version of DirectX, or get a newer video card that supports DirectX 9.

The same for Office 2K and XP, many older video cards do not respond properly to commands from these new programs.
Think of it as a M$ plot to help convince you that you need a new PC and a copy of Windows XP.
