Explorer has caused an error in kernel32.dll
Whenever I am on Internet Explorer for a little while, I
get an error message that reads "Explorer has caused an
error in Kernel32.dll. This program will now close."
Once I attempt to close Internet Explorer, the computer
freezes and the only way I can exit IE is to end task in
the close program box. It usually happens when I click on
the Favorites option in the toolbar or when I click on the
address bar, and once when I right clicked on something.
This only occurs when I am online through Internet
Explorer. I have searched and read several forums, but
people have too many varying solutions, therefore I am
unsure as to which one I should attempt. I hope someone
has a solution to this most irritating problem, and thank
you in advance.

Internet Explore itself, didn't help. Tag: pgmon error Tag: 209557

Lost icons after installing download from Man U pages
I had a call from a friend who has a computer running WindowsME. While she
was out her son visited Man U. web site and downloaded and installed
something. From what she says it sounds like it would have been a wallpaper.
Now whenever she starts the PC she cannot see all her icons. From what she
describes part of the screen is taken up by a picture (or part of a picture)
of a Man U shirt. The "Start" button does nothing at all. When she tries to
open "My documents" or "My computer", icons for which are still visible, she
gets an error message which goes something like "Security settings prohibit
running Active X". This is making it difficult for her to track down the
problem.
Sorry to be so vague but I haven't seen this myself, she's hundereds of
miles away and I'm finding it difficult to get really clear descriptions
from her. Also I'm not very familiar with ME as all my PCs are on Windows
2000.
I'm hoping someone else out there has seen this sort of problem and can tell
us how to fix it...

Explorer has caused an error in MSHTML.DLL (after load AdAware)
Running Win ME on Dell Dimension system.
Last night I downloaded, installed, & ran free version of AdAware
which was available through AOL. When it completed, there was
an error message in pop-up window which ties up the system.
The error recurs when I reboot. The error window says:
"Explorer has caused an error in MSHTML.DLL. Explorer will now close.
If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer."
When I click "close" button in the pop-up error message window, the window
disappears,
then reappears in about a second. I can't do anything else but repeatedly
close the error
window which then reappears. If I'm quick with my fingers I can
Ctrl-Alt-Del before the
error recurs, and from there power down. When system reboots, same error
recurs, after
ScanDisk completes its run.
I searched Microsoft WinME support site and Lavasoft (maker of AdAware) site
for
help but couldn't find anything relevant.
Thanks for assistance in solving this,

startup failing after install
I've got a new to me but used HP running Windows ME. It didnt come
with a disk for ME.
I've been having various problems, like Windows Update will not work.
It fails with error 0x800A138F, despite trying everything on this <a
href=http://www.updatexp.com/0x800A138F.html
target=_blank>page</a>.
I tried downloading updates manually but some of them wont install.
they start to and then need the computer to reboot before they can
finsh. after reboot, but before windows starts, it errors out saying
that it couldnt proceed from 1% to 2%. hitting return continues
loading windows normally but the update never takes.
I have also been unable to upgrade directx, it fails almost
immmediately after unpacking the files saying Directx couldnt load a
file (doesnt specify which)and the install will shutdown.
So earlier tonight I found the CAB directory on ME and decided it
would be a good idea to run Setup, thinking that whatever is causing
the problem might be overwritten in the process.
Windows started to install itself but on reboot got stuck with the
same error about not being able to move on from 1% to 2%, push any key
to continue.
Only this time, after pushing a key, I get the same error message over
and over, it doesnt load. I'm stuck at this point. I tried F8,
step-by-step confirm, safe mode, etc. but I always get stuck at the
same part.
Right now i'm booting off my old drive (I can get to setup) which has
98 on it, so I'm able to get to the drive that has ME on it, I just
cant boot from it.
Anyone up?
I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone could offer. Tag: pgmon error Tag: 209470
Hackers Secret Weapons - Virtual Private Networks
For one, if your on a Windows Platform and you didn't disable a number
of services which are enabled by default, including file and print
sharing, the chances of your computer being hacked/owned are very high.
Also, if you haven?t secured your browser or e-mail programs this can
cause your computer to be hacked/owned. Not disabling these services
and not having a firewall or anti-virus program from the beginning of
your computer going on the internet, is a loss cause. Backdoors and
Trojan Horses disable your anti-virus and firewalls. So checking for
open ports no matter where you go or how you test your ports will not
give you accurate results. GRC shields-up has on one occasion showed my
computer as having port 110 open. The reason for this is because a
malicious hacker was using my e-mail application at the time my computer
was checked for open ports.
If your on a Windows Platform (minus XP and NT), select Start, Settings,
Control Panel, Folder Options, View and make sure you select and have a
dot in the circle where it says Show Hidden Files and Folders.
Select Start, Control Panel, Network, and if you see two AOL adapters,
two TCP/IP, two dial-up adapters, one or two Virtual Private Network
adapters your computer has what hackers install called a Virtual Private
Network, BEWARE!
If you find your system re-boots itself from time to time, this
is another sign that an Administrator (hacker) has to update your
hacked system.
Select Start, type regedit, select Registry, Export Registry, and in
the box type say 3-12-02.txt and say OK. Then open this file with
a text editor or word application and you might be "shocked" to find
what
really is installed on your system. Check the bottom of this file,
since
hackers love to install a bunch of their crap here.
What these hackers do is disable your anti-virus program using Trojan
Horses, which makes checking for viruses or trojans useless. If running
a software firewall, the hackers install another version of what your
running
and program it so you aren't able to see their activities.
Once these factors take into play, the best bet to keep the hackers
out of your system is to perform the below.
My suggestion would be to keep the hard drive (sent it to the FBI, minus
your
personal files). Or make a copy of your entire hard drive, this way if
the hackers have destroyed any system using your computer, at least you
have evidence if the FBI ever come knock on your door. The Trackers
would like a copy, but that's another story in itself.
You might want to format the hard drive, install from CD-ROM only and
obtain a free port scanner for your operating system. You can download
one from zdnet.com, and before you go online, port scan your own
computer to check for any open ports. Backdoors, Trojan Horses and
Viruses are not the consideration you need to be concerned with when
your system is hacked. Your system can also be running a Proxy Server,
NNTP Server, SMTP Server, Web Server, SQL Server and a Virtual Private
Network. All of these factors need to be taken into consideration.

System Restore
I'm on vacation again and this is usually when I make a point of learning
"new stuff." I have never used my System Restore in 3 yrs and don't know
much about it ( I haven't learned to back anything up either I'm embarrassed
to say, but that's another vacation. Hopefully I won't suffer any
consequences in the meantime). I read in an earlier post to Rob (and to
others previous to that), that he should download an SR update. These are
my starting questions:
1) I checked my installation history on the Windows Update site and don't
see anything about a SR update in 2001. Would the update have been
available on that site at some time? I just want to make sure I haven't
already downloaded it before I go to the link you gave Rob.
2)Once I get the update and get SR going, do I just wait til something
happens (Yikes!) with my computer to use SR or should I be doing some kind
of regular checks, maintenance, etc or something in the meantime? I know
this is one of those really silly basic questions, but your answers are
always appreciated.
