IE failure

[Nathan]

Every time I try to open explorer, I get a message saying
this program has performed an illegal operation and will be
shit down, if the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

Details

EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module TPS108.DLL at 018f:02460460.

Then When I close that window, i get another message saying

Microsoft internet explorer

An error has occurred in internet explorer and it will now
close

If you continue to experience problems, restart your computer.

I have restarted, nothing

I tried to reinstall IE but I cannot open any windows that
require IE so I never complete the installation.

The computer says there is another installation of IE that
has not finished and the computer shuts itself down,

Is there a way to fix the IE program?

Is there a way to change my windows settings so that I can
open other windows, like recycle bin, printer settings,
without using IE?

Nathan,

Are you posting from another computer, or using another browser?

If you can download a small program, download and run BHODemon 1.0:
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
It's about 130 KB- fits on a floppy disk. Use it to disable BHOs. If that
allows IE to function, see:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Win98/Q_20839682.html
There are removal instructions in that thread.

Afterwards, see:
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Run the removal programs and note the security tips.

Post back if these steps don't work for you.

Don

It would appear that your having problems related to
the "Mydoom" worm. This is a great website that walks
you step by step what to do with this:

Also symantec specifically mentions this issue here:
