Microsoft does have a help line you know. A bit of a wait on the the phone, but I think you'll find them to very helpful. They've always taken very good care of me.It sounds like you'll have to re-install explorerer.

Yes if you do end up reformatting your computer (using recovery disks), just make sure you save all important files to a separate disk or external hard drive, unless you have a D-drive that won't be deleted during reformatting. Reformatting will make your computer as it was the very first day.

If you're using Windows 98, then the comments above about checks points do not apply.If you have your original WIndows 98 CD, maybe you could do a reinstall, but as an update (so you don't loose your settings).Then, you'd have to do a Windows Update afterwards in order to get all the latest patches installed again.The other thing to try first is to run a couple of good spyware programs and anti-virus.

Hi Littleoldlady,if you have your windows install disk it will go into repair mode with all sorts of extra utility help sections. If you do have this disk, put it into cd-rom drive and completely -turn off- your machine! Wait about 15 or 20 seconds. Make sure that your monitor is turned off when you restart---about 3 seconds then turn on the monitor. I had a like situation and stairstepped my power so that if there were a corrupt program, I could ease into the POST screen (Power On Self Test
