When I start up my computer, I get a window that comes up over and over every
couple of seconds:

Program Error Explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed down etc

This occurs maybe 5 or 6 times in repetition and then I get a different
window to come up that reads reads:

The instruction at "0x77fcdf2a" referenced memory at "0x000ef410". The
memory could not be "read" Click OK to terminate program. (the locations are
often different but the message is the same.

I have repaired Win 2000 from a boot several times to no effect, and I have
reloaded Explorer 6 and repaired Explorer 6 from a run prompt as an earlier
post suggested. Nothing has helped. I cannot run the system at all and have
no idea what to do next.
