re: ever seen this before? Thursday, January 10, 2002 at 11:35 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rundll (167 messages posted) this error often occurs because of a broken shell. it can be hard to recover from...gracefully. how does the shell get broken? a common way is to install software that updates internet explorer...especially with antivirus running. installing office2k will update internet explorer, i believe quicken will install ie5 (maybe ie6 now) if it feels it needs to, or simply upgrading the software yourself to the latest and greatest. other possibilities are a corrupted file or maybe a virus infection. ninety nine percent of the cases i have seen are due to updates to ie. when did this start? what changed...any software installed or removed? what version of internet explorer do you have? need a little more information on how it got broke before a direction can be plotted to fix it.
