After starting my computer the following error message is displayed:
Explorer.exe- Entry Point Not Found "The procedure entry point
SHCreateThreadRef could not be located in the dynamic link library
SHLWAPI.dll." After I click OK a blank start up page is displayed and I
cannot take any other action. Any help on fixing this is much appreciated.
