Windows XP Explorer.exe
C:\Windows\Explorer.exe cannot be loaded. No movement at all.
I have been loading from the Desktop shortcut for the last 3 years. Now nothing happens? I downloaded a new Explorerzip file in google but that looks like a dead file. There is a XP.INI file with one entry Filter=0 in Windows Folder. Please help? |

You gave us no information to go on, so there's really no way to suggest how to avoid it. |

Sorry I cannot give any clue at all. It never happend before. Thank you very much for your help to solve the problem. Better do a virus scan using a Linux boot disk and then run chkdsk /f DRIVE_LETTERS: For an offline scan, you can use this. http://support.kaspersky.com/8092 "Iso image of Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 (237 MB)" That's a Windows virus scanner, loaded on a Linux boot disc. It starts up automatically, with the GUI for the tool running, so you don't need to know (much) to get it going. You tick the "drive letters" to be scanned. If you cannot figure out which letter is which, just tick all of them :-) For example, when I want C: scanned, I happen to tick E:. The scan time varies with what you feed it. If you insist on feeding it tar balls (source archives), it'll bog down. For example, when it scanned the source code for Firefox (around 60000+ files in a ZIP), it actually killed the scanner. If the files aren't ZIPs with huge numbers of files inside, then you might be looking at a couple hours of scan time. Paul |

Sorry I cannot give any clue at all. It never happend before. I would usually attribute it to just one of them crazy one-time computer things - something crashes for no apparent reason, you reboot and move on. The only thing in your story that gives me pause is your statement, "I downloaded a new Explorerzip file in google but that looks like a dead file." I have no idea what "a new Explorerzip file" is or why you would downloaded it in the first place, but maybe it contained a virus or other malware. Give your computer a thorough scan. Your computer might now be infected with something nasty. |

C:\Windows\Explorer.exe cannot be loaded. No movement at all. I have been loading from the Desktop shortcut for the last 3 years. Now nothing happens? I downloaded a new Explorerzip file in google but that looks like a dead file. There is a XP.INI file with one entry Filter=0 in Windows Folder. Please help? Create a .TXT file. Copy the below lines (below the dashed line and above the signature delimiter) and paste them into the .TXT file. Rename the file to .REG (ex: shell.reg) then Double-Click on the .Reg file. - - - - Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "Shell"="explorer.exe" -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |
