window 98 SE errors everywhere

I am having continual problems with windows closing down due to Windows explorer problems. Even on fresh boot i will sometimes get message that windows has encountered a problem and needs to close, this may happen 5 times before it will start. Also it occurs intermittently when opening other programs. Here is log of HijackThis v1.97.7.

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi ivt,

Next time you get the error could you copy the details and post them?
There is nothing wrong with your log, so we will need a different angle of tackling your problem.

As a starting point, a lot of errors and the cure are listed here:

That should also give you an idea of what exactly we need form the error report.

Regards,

Pieter

 

These are some of the errors received
COMCTL32.DLL, ADVAP132.DLD, SHLWAPI.DLL, URLMON.DLL,, KERNELL32.DLL, Registry problems with Shell32.DLL, and fatal exception at 0167:BFF9DFFF

Any help much appreciated as the computer will now start now

Thanks
Rita

 

Hi ivt,

You can try making a Boot Disc from here, and see if it will help your computer to start up.

This page at Microsoft's may help with some of the errors you are getting with windows wanting to restart. It's worth a try.
