I am getting following error message in my windows2000 prof. " Program Error: Explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created." This seems to be explorer.exe problem and whenever i open any window like double clicking My Computer , above error message appears. I have copied explorer.exe from another machine but this doesnt solve the problem. Does anybody know the cause and remedy of this problem .
Thanks for your help in advance.

If you have KaZaA running in the background, close it.

I get the same message when I boot my Windows 2000 PC. It automatically brings up several of those messages, along with a "cannot write to memory" message, but nothing seems to be running in the background, according to the task manager. This started when my wife updated the MSN Messenger. I uninstalled a ton of stuff, including MSN Messenger, and tried to replace the explorer.exe. I even tried doing a Windows 2000 emergency repair, but nothing seems to work. It boots up to the desktop fine, then the explorer.exe error message pops up and continues popping up about every 7 seconds. I am resigned to just rebuilding the system from scratch, but would like to know if there is another solution if this pops up again.

I'm getting the very same message. Explorer, Control Panel. My Computer, start-settings-Printers, Virtually ALL Windows' prime functions use 'Explorer.exe' to run, therefor, whenever I try to access any of these, I get that same error message & half the time it then comes uo with the 'Restore Sctive Desktop' screen. My suggestion for a solution would be to replace the disfunctional 'Explorer.exe' file with a functional one, ie: from the CD, or even from someone elses computer running under the same O/S - unfortunately, I have neither at the moment - so I'm stuck here online searching for someone who does or another suggestion... good luck!
