Hi,
Are you using Windows 95 or 98? Also, how much memory do you have in your system, and how much free Hard Drive space do you have?
Are you talking about Internet Explorer, or Windows Explorer? If the message says Internet Explorer, then I'd try re-installing it to see if that clears up the problem.
Also, try emptying out your Temporary Internet Files and C:\Window\Temp folder. To do this, just type go to Start, then Run, then type in:
C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
AND
C:\Windows\Temp
Highlight all the files found in both folders, and delete them.
If the problem is with Explorer.exe (Windows Explorer) then you might want to try updating your video driver. If you're not sure what kind of display adapter you have, try going to Start, Settings, Control Panel, then System. Then click on the Device Manager tab, and click on the plus sign beside Display Adapter. That will give you the make/model of the video card. Then you can go to that company's website, and download and install the newest driver. You may have to obtain this driver by using someone else's PC, and copying the driver onto a floppy or e-mailing yourself the link to the website (I'm assuming you have access to a friend's PC, since you posted something here).
If that doesn't resolve your problem, then you could try going to Start, then Run, then type in SYSEDIT, and click on OK. Then add the following lines to the bottom of your CONFIG.SYS file:
Files=60
Buffers=40
Stacks=64,512
Next, add the following lines lines to your SYSTEM.INI file, under the [386Enh] line:
; Increases default stack pages from 2 to 6
MinSPs=6
Then reboot your machine. If it STILL keeps happening, then you could try getting a computer-savvy friend to test your RAM by removing individual sticks, to see if one of them is faulty or causing these problems (however, this probably isn't likely).
