Re: Can I get Explorer.exe from Microsoft or this website.

Thank you for the reply Patrick. I agree about the 3gHz P4 systems available
for under $200 but this is my old PC that I have upgraded quite a bit and
want to keep it around. I have a very nice dual core machine with Vista!

Somehow I end up in Media Center when I clicked on Windows XP Newsgroups
so
I'm reposting this here.

First, I'm sorry but this is a Windows 98SE problem not XP but it looks
like
there's no support for the 98 OS on this site so I'm hoping someone here
can
help.

I have an older PC with Windows 98SE. I was doing some cleanup and deleted
all cookies, temporary files and history through Internet Explorer then
for
some reason Internet Explorer froze-up and I had to reboot the computer.
After the system initializes and runs the autoexec I get an error that
Explorer.exe has a page fault error and it doesn't go any further.
Apparently explorer.exe was corrupted (or something else?). I don't
suspect a
virus.

I can not find my 98SE OS cd, I think I may have left it where I used to
work. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the explorer.exe file
for
Windows 98SE? I do still have Windows 95 OS on cd but I'm not sure if its'
explorer.exe file would work for 98SE, anyone know? Thanks.

The problem likely isn't only with your copy of explorer, and you likely
won't find that copying over another version will work. No, using a Win95
version will not work.

I would suggest that you need to find another Win98 install CD, because you
may well need to do a repair install.

If you have data of value on that system, attach the drive to another system
and just copy it off.

If you start to look at paying for an install CD, consider looking at a used
XP system. There are plenty of 3gHz P4 systems available for under $200.
