Default Re: Windows Explorer error repeatedly

I created a reg file for you, just download it then double click on it to
merge it into the registry. If the reg key is found on your system then it
will remove it. http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/pe.reg

Stalking is a Crime
Stalking charges are serious and
almost every state now has a strict stalking law.

PA Bear is a joke and his status as an MVP will not last long. MS does not
allow the disrupting of their NG and trolling especially by MVP's.

Default RE: Windows Explorer error repeatedly

Hi there,
I'm new to this whole discussion thing... but I"m getting a similar problem.
EVERY time I try to get into the "My Pictures" folder, my whole Windows
Explorer quits and has an error message - telling me to debug, send a report
or close. It will also close down any MSIE windows I have open. I have
tried debugging and sending error messages, but nothing has helped. I have
run at least 4 scan programs and have downloaded a few others, but nothing
seems to help. In the page below, the problem seems to be that the person is
having problems in windows startup. Mine is only when trying to get into my
pictures. I have a LOT of family pictures on my computer and would like to
print them out, but can't even get into them.

On our LAN, I can get into the "My Pictures" folder from my daughter's
laptop and do what I need to do, but I'd much rather do it from my desktop
with a real mouse instead of that stupid touch pad.

I went to the website (How to repair damaged or corrupt user32.dll:

http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...h-startup.html
) but it says that the problem is with starting Windows. I o9nly have the
problem with getting into the "My Pictures" folder and looking at pictures.

I have Windows XP home media edition and can't use the media center either,
as it'll close down as well. As for my computer, I as I have said, I have XP
media edition, I prefer to use Firefox instead of MSIE (someone told me it
has less viruses, but I have yet to see the proof). Do you need to know
anything else?

Please Help!
