Win XP explorer.exe problems

W6K · Sep 28, 2004

Suddenly explorer stopped working. Everytime I go to My Computer I get an explorer error and have to shut down. I tried the Windows update but it errors out there also. There is a reference to a fault in MSVCRT.dll. I reloaded XP but it didn't fix it. What do I do now?

What operating system? You reloaded? You may have just done a repair, if you intended to install it clean you need to format the drive.

Try reinstalling VB6 runtimes.

Got Google?

Yes I did a repair with the XP CD but it didn't repair the problem. I'll check all the references you posted and see if I can find one thats fits. thanks
