Windows Explorer

Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience.

If you were in the middle...I think you get the idea.

Error signature
EventType : InPageError P1 c000009c P2 " 00000003

The following files will be included in this error report
C:\DOCUME~1\Bob\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER7118.dir00\explorer.exe.mdmp

Have you checked Event Viewer for noted items around the time of these crashes?

How do I check it in Windows XP?

Start Up, Control Panel, Administrative Services. You will find it in there.

Okay, I did find this there...

There are many of these throughout.

Something else I found there is this error...

Windows cannot access the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\browseui.dll for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Shell Browser UI Library because of this error.

Program: Shell Browser UI Library
File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\browseui.dll

The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

This file is an integral part of Internet Explorer. Try a repair of IE by going to Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove. Click on Internet Explorer and try a Repair.

I went to Add/Remove programs but for some reason I do not see IE there.

Try running System File Checker:
To run the System File Checker, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run type sfc /scannow, and then press ENTER.
2. Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
3. Restart the computer when System File Checker process is complete.

It worked! ty
