accessing any spyware related sites if installed. A detection/removal tool
(delcwssk) is the miniremoval_coolwebsearch_smartkiller.exe by PepiMK and is

B. You may need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.
If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.
If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini

I can not open Internet Explorer.
I get the following error message:
"Iexplore Caused an Invalid Page Fault in Module
Kernel32.dll".
I was originally using explorer 5.0 anf upgraded to 6.0
but that did not help.
I ran Norton virus scan, and it did quarantee some files.
But I still have the problem. Can anyone suggest what
else I can do.
