re: Re:'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' HELP! Monday, October 6, 2003 at 7:07 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Caroline (1 messages posted) HELP!! I tried this and it seemed to work fine, then I got an error message : ERROR: Out of memory while processing cabinet file WIN_16.CAB Then I tried to start up the computer and I can't get the explorer screen up at all now. HELP! I don't want to lose all of my files. Thanks -- please respond via this forum as my inbox tends to get virus messages after I post on help forums.
