explorer.exe has generated errors

[Jody]

In the past week we've had 5 users get this error when they log into
Windows 2000. One user got the error after they got a message to reboot
when Windows had finished installing the new updates. The other users
don't remember if theirs happened after the update. After they get the
error they press OK and there's just a blank screen and nothing will
come up. I can press CTRL ALT DEL and click on Task Manager but when I
go to New Task (Run) I get an error that Task Manager has generated
errors and will be closed.

Has anyone seen issues with the newest security patches breaking
explorer.exe?

How do I fix this? I've tried running a manual and fast repair and
neither of those fix it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
J

Same here on all of my Windows 2000 computers. <sigh>




Cheers!

It appears after an AVG Update or a Ad-Watch one or something.
Everything is back to normal. What about you two?






Cheers!

I guess I have spoken up too soon. As it has happened at least once
on one Windows 2000 machine. Although this machine has flaky
hardware (I think it is the RAM memory myself). So it might be okay
now on the other machines still. <grin>






Cheers!

It happened twice on another machine now. It seem a lot better than
it was before the AVG and Ad-watch updates. But it is still there.




Cheers!
