Vista Explorer Problems (Urgent Help)

[BAP]

Hi recently when i try to open the control panel in vista it starts loading
but then i get a message saying windows explorer is restarting.... I havent
been able to open control panel since this problem happened.

So when i tried to run safe mode even the explorer seems to
be closing itselfs. Even when i load task manager and try to retrieve
explorer it just closes itselfs.

I managed to log event viewer from administrative tools and i searched for
the error details. This is what i got

Faulting application Explorer.EXE, version 6.0.6000.16549, time stamp
0x46d230c5, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp

0x76c, application start time 0x01c85e566f8027e0.

To reinstall IE (for XP SP2 - no choice for Vista on Microsoft's IE7
download page - go figure) click here -
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...BE-3385-447C-8A30-081805B2F90B&displaylang=en

To run a no-install version of Firefox then try and download IE from MS and
reinstall click here -

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/Firefox_Portable_2.0.0.11_en-us.paf.exe?download

Good luck.

If you do choose this method, I recommend using the kubuntu version as it's
look and feel is more familiar to Windows users. You can get it from
http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/kubuntu/7.10/release/kubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso.

For an even more friendly (to Windows users) distro, try PCLinuxOS at

Is an LHA extraction utility installed to your system?
Is LplsShlx.dll on your system?

Also checked the event viewer for concurrent events that might fill in more
information?
