lexplore caused error in KERNEL32.DLL

[David]

I receive the above error message when I try to launch the
IE browser on my laptop. I cannot access the internet
with the browser, but it looks like applications like
Norton Internet Security are still able to update from the
internet. My laptop runs Windows ME. I do have access to
the internet on my desktop.
HELP PLEASE!

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
