    Explorer.exe has generated errors
    I have a Dlink GLB-502T ADSL modem. When I switch it on sometimes my explorer.exe process gives errors with that message, "Explorer.exe has generated errors and needs to close"
    I have XP SP2 Home, 2.8GHz, 256MB RAM, 40GB HD. This problem occurs only on one user account, and this user account is an administrator account. All other accounts on this computer(limited and administrator) do not have this problem.
    Besides this my system restore doesn't work anymore. It says "Restoration Incomplete" no matter what point I choose. I tried disabling, re-booting and re-enabling System restore, but no Luck
    Someone please help both me with my probs.

    Could be spyware related.
    Here's some ideas for you.
    To make sure everything is running fine run both anti virus and anti spyware apps in normal AND safe modes. (make sure that they are updated first ! ;)) (AVG is good and free AV)
    (A couple of good removal tools are Spybot and Adaware)

    ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall

    Just a note; actively running two AV's on one machine can cause problems.
    So if you are thinking about it make sure your current one is disabled first.
    SAme thing applies to online scanners as well.

    If this doesn't work can you please let us know more of the symptons and your computers setup.

    If none of these work it maybe worth recreating the profile and going from there.
