11891 2001-04-28 01:36:00 Hi there, I upgraded a program on my system and after the upgrade the program needed
to re-boot windows to function.

At the reboot I now get an error message that explorer.exe has performed an illegal
function and will be shut down, hence that is as far as I can go to re-boot windows.
Can someone give me some idea on how to rectify the problem with explorer.exe.

Also I would like to know if I have to reinstall Windows98, is it possible to reinstall
from dos without loosing my allready installed programs and settings?

Many thanks
In antisipation Gary Smith

Sometimes some programs will cause this fault,and need to be reinstalled a second time.
Also make sure that any programs you use are windows compatable.
