|[...]"Error loading explorer.exe. You must reinstall Windows"[...]
|After I hit OK another message appears indicating
|"DLL file  MSVCRT.DLL not found".
|[...it] is way confusing for me to really understand the mechanics
|to copy this DLL and reinstall it!
|It's too adventurous for me since I may make problem even worse.

I'm trying to figure out what would be *worse* than having to reload Windoze.

Reminds me of the old Dirty Harry line, "A man's got to know his limitations".
