Recovering From a Failed Internet Explorer Upgrade in Windows 98
Internet Explorer 5 Service Pack 2 or an upgrade to Internet Explorer 6
failed to install or partially install which resulted in corrupt files
rendering the computer unable to fully boot.
Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module SHDOC401.DLL at
xxxx:77db8782
Relevant Knowledgebase Document(s):
Description of the Internet Explorer Repair Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=194177
Additional Notes: The end of the Microsoft Knowlegebase article gives the
following workaround if the repair utility is inaccessible (keep the
Explorer errors, above, open. Otherwise the computer will lock up. Drag it
to the side and you should still have room to work and do the steps in the
article.)
