I have a toshiba laptop running windows 98.
9 out of 10 times when I shut down I get 2 error messages.
1. "Loadwb has performed and illegal operation and will be shut down"
2. "Explorer has preformed an illegal operation and will be shut down"
Is there anyway I can prevent these errors without reformatting and reinstalling the OS ?

You don't need loadwc.exe running unless you have profiles or internet subscriptions hence you can kill it with the Close Program window (the one that pops up when you press control-alt-delete) then rename it (it's in the windows\system folder).

1. Under START -> RUN -> MSCONFIG, cancel start up of loadwb.exe (or DLL)

2. Upgrade IE (Explorer may be trying to access an invalid file, or trying to access an invalid file or executable)
