I have been periodically getting the message
'IExplore has caused an error in GDI.EXE and will now
close'
when I attempt to open the Explorer browser. Does anyone
know what my problem is. I have Windows Me on my computer.
GDI = Graphics Device Interface

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
