MS Explorer will not run

[Larry J]

FOr the past few weeks I have not been able to run
explorer. If I try to start it - ie. right click the
start button and choose explorer or maybe just open
control panel, it just beeps and nothing else happens.
This seemed to start right after a critical update didn't
seem to complete normally. I have since installed SP2 but
it didn't help. There has to be some DLL that is hosed.

How can I get this part of Windows to work again?

Thanks for the thought. I was hoping to not have to go
back. As it now appears, I will try that first. I have
prepared my self for a format and fresh install one more
time. This has become a PITA with XP.
