re: Explorer has caused an error in OLE32.DLL Monday, December 10, 2001 at 9:03 am Posted by Rebecca (18 messages posted) LMAO.....sry to laugh about your problem, but i have to. this is a very common problem. there's a couple different things that you can try. i use the msn explorer and the internet explorer to browse. i mainly use the msn and haven't had any problems. occasionally when i'm using the internet explorer i incounter the same problem. you can try to use a different browser. do you have the latest version of internet explorer? i do believe that it's 6. if not then you need to get it. also, look to see if there are any service pack updates for the internet explorer that you haven't gotten yet. get those. if all else fails then uninstall and reinstall. i don't know what you're runnin on your system. i had 128megs ram on mine and a lot of my problems where because of that. when i installed more ram-over 700megs of ram-my problems have greatly decreased. try those things and let us know. good luck rebecca On Sunday, December 9, 2001 at 7:58 pm, Kyle wrote: >Hopefully someone will be able to help me with a very frustrating problem.

I have a high ram machine also, but that error is software related... that mainly happens with the install of openGl.... that is often a big part of Hi graphic games. I had the same exact error after installing openGl..and had to reboot into safe mode, remove IE and reinstall it.. then reinstalled the games and no prob....
