explorer.exe error

[Deborah Gleason]

Many times when I start my computer, it comes up with an
error saying that explorer.exe has generated errors and
will be closed by Windows and you will need to restart
Windows. It takes 2 or 3 restarts before everything comes
up correctly. Does anyone know what is causing this error
and how to fix it? Thanks.

Deborah,

What operating system are we running? What was the last think added done to the system before this started happening?
Was this a new install of the operating system or an upgrade of a previous operating system? Does the same thing
happen booting to Safe Mode?

During one of the times you get in try running the following to see what happens.

regsvr32 -i mshtm.dll

This will reregister this DLL file.
