Have XP home w/ SP1. Just reformatted, but prior to reformatting I had two errors w/ Internet and Windows Explorer. Unable to right click and get message that they have to shut down. Appears to be shell32... After shut down, desktop refreshes until it happens again. Very sporadic. It will also do the same thing when Internet is up and I click on file, etc. I've run SpySweeper, always run Windows Washer, Norton AV and Tweaknow 2005. This was a problem before reformatting and after. Any suggestions?

Download the IE6 SP1 Installer from the MAIN WINDOWS DOWNLOAD site MS DOWNLOADS

Or the full program as mentioned in the link below. [Current version: 6.0.2800.1106]

Then use Add-Remove programs to uninstall IE. If this proves to be unsatisfactory
then use IEradicator to remove IE completely from your system and re-install after
running scandisk & and defrag.

Then fully update your system at the Windows Up-Date site for ALL system-critical
and security up-dates: Windows Update

SEE: INSTALLING IE6.0 SP1 RESPONSE MSHTML.DLL

In IE, Tools, IE Options, Advanced, Uncheck:

"Activate install on demand" [Other] , and, "Activate install on demand" [Internet
Explorer]

WINDOWS UPDATE TROUBLESHOOTER

You may have to re-install the Windows Installer

Solved my problem but would like to say thanks for the help. Here's an easy solution:

1. Start+ Run+ Paste this
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll

and then do the same with each of the following..

regsvr32 Shell32.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll

or

Open an MS-DOS prompt and type the following, then hit enter... This command will reinstall IE6 for you and should eliminate the problem. (its case sensitive so copy and paste this line)

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 c:/windows/inf/ie.inf
