user.exe....help!
Hi, I am running windows ME on a sony j-pvc 150 with 256 ram. For the past week or so I have been getting either explorer has caused an error in user.exe or iexplorer has caused an error in user.exe (and the occassional krnl386.dll error). I have never had any problems before and I am dumbfounded as to the cause.

The strange thing is that it not only happens when using ie but also anything i maximize and then minimize ANY window. I have already tried a clean boot, ran scandisk, disk defragmentor, ran virusscan, spybot and adaware. I still get the errors. Here is a log of the hijack i just did (i have already removed gator):

Remove this one.

Also run AdAware or Spybot and clean up the system.

Ok, I did what was suggested with the win me boot disk, ran adaware and spybot again, and ran scanreg /fix and I still get the error if I minimize a window and then maximize it again. Here is a current log of hijack:

USER.EXE and KRNL386.DLL are basic system components. This is frequently a hardware issue or file corruption.

I'd make sure all the boards are seated properly, as well as memory and cables. You might also consider running a memory test overnight, here's the one I use: http://www.memtest86.com/

Re: user.exe....help!
Hi,

I'm having exactly the same problem as sleeperxan. I have tried disabling the autofill, using adware to get rid of the bugs, run the scanreg /fix function and still doesn't work. I hope somebody out there can help me. Here's the latest post of hijack:

Thanks!

Run spybot search and destroy first . Update it , do a scan then have it fix what it finds. Then click on the immunize button. When complete repost a fresh hijack log.

Unhappy user.exe problem
Thanks for the fast response.

I tried using spybot, so did the search and destroy, updated later and did the scan to fix what was found. I later immunize my system, but the problem is still there. Attached is the fresh hijack log.

I hope you can help me!

Thanks a lot,
