re: explorer has caused an error in <unknown>....please help! Wednesday, June 30, 2004 at 10:35 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by darlene (90 messages posted) Hi, I know this is going to sound stupid, but do a search for files and folders from your start menu. Type in unknown and delete the file. That's what I finally did. Download 'Spywareblaster', 'dsostop2.exe', 'Spybot', 'NoAdaware', and 'Spysweeper'. MAC has a free Windows Update CD. It sounds like you've got the hole in the IE. You probably need the criical updates. Good luck and have a great day, Darlene On Wednesday, June 30, 2004 at 9:04 pm, Matty wrote: >hello everyone. > >as the subject line indicates, i receive an error message reading "explorer has caused >an error in unknown. explorer will now close." this happens only when i try to launch >internet explorer. my computer and other explorer windows work fine. i have run >adaware and norton antivirus with no luck. i have hijack this and can post a log >if you wish > >thanks!!
