I'm hoping someone can help me solve this - it is proving to be very
irritating.
Ever since installing the latest cumulative security update for Internet
Explorer I keep getting this error:
"Explorer has caused an error in SHLWAPI.DLL
Explorer will now close.
If you continue to experience problems,
try restarting your computer."
The full error message is as follows:
EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module SHLWAPI.DLL at 01a7:70a9ba71.

I've searched on Google etc and I've looked at the Microsoft support
site and have tried a number of things which seemed relevant, but none
of them have made any difference. Things I have tried include:
- uninstalling the update
- repairing Internet Explorer
- reinstalling Internet Explorer
- replacing the copy of SHLWAPI.DLL in c:\windows\system
The configuration of my machine is as follows:
AMD Athlon based PC running Windows ME (4.90.3000), 1 gig of RAM, 2 hard
discs (40Gb and 120Gb). Have all the latest Windows security updates etc
Any help would be very much appreciated.

James
