Recently I have been receiving an error message:
"explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows"
This error occurs when I click on my Start menu and scroll up. If I don't select a program to load immediately this error message occurs and locks up the comptuer until I click OK and allow the screen to reset.
It seems to effect only the Start menu. The loaded programs work okay.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ron

I noted in a previous request for help that I get the error "Explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows" I haven't been able to fix it.
Now there is an added symptom: I cannot add any shortcuts to the start menu by dragging to the Start logo on the bottom-left of the screen. This is something I just noticed and might be significant.

Thanks,

Ron
