My copy of explorer.exe is also acting up. It has been causing page faults in oem32.dll for some time now. I am wondering if anyone can tell me what the latest version number and creation date for this application program. Mine shows version 4.72.3110.1 dated May 11, 1998. Could this be part of my problem?
I have also checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software and NOT found ANY entry for Windows... maybe I'm looking in the wrong place in the directory?
