:( Windows explorer (xp) error pops ups when trying to open internet explorer, recycle bin, even the control panel. Error report reads AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName: helper101.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 000710f1 Only software that I installed personally will open without error. If anyone could help I would GREATLY appreciate it

Thoroughly check for Viruses, trojans and spyware. Follow the advice in the stickied topics in out Viruses and Nasties forum section for assistance with that. If that does not resolve things, try a Refresh install of Windows:
