Explorer error default

I would like to see if anyone could help me on my problem that I am having with my computer. I am running windows 98 and i keep getting all these pop ups on my computer. I was thinking that could be from the xupiterstartup2003..but i have deleted that and its still doing it. Also everytime i try to open something up from the desktop I recieve a message that says Explorer error kernal32.dll 017F.bff7429f I am really unsure what to do. It locks my computer up everytime. Please help me!

These two startups are Xupiter allright:

SQUpdatesChecker = C:\Program Files\Sqwire\uc.exe
SQConfigChecker = C:\Program Files\Sqwire\cc.exe

And you have the activeX object as well.

Do this:

Download Spybot - Search & Destroy

It looks for spyware, but also targets dialers, keyloggers, and other nasties, and it's freeware.
It ought to deal with all versions of Xupiter without a prob.

After installing, press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates.

Next, go to the Settings tab > File Sets, and uncheck 'System Internals' and 'Tracks' .
These aren't needed for our present purpose, and you can always experiment with them later on.

Finally, after closing down Internet Explorer, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it finds.

NOTE: SSD will sometimes not be able to remove all active components in the first 'run'.
In that case you will get a dialog asking you to run SSD at next start.
Click yes and reboot.
Subsequently SSD will come up before the system puts these components 'in use', and it will then be able to 'fix' the rest.

Good luck,

 

i have ran the spybot program and that has corrected most of the pop ups that I get. But everytime i click on my computer, or any of the icons on my desktop the same default error occurs with the explorer. I just to exit out of it but it locks my computer up completly. Does anyone have any ideas about this problem.

Thanks so much for the help so far.

Yes. It's a problem often associated with Xupiter.

Well, there certainly is some Xupiter stuff there, as well as a few other things that need to be removed.

Run Hijack This, and check ALL of the items in bold. Doublecheck so as to be sure not to miss a single one.
Next, shut down all Internet Explorer Windows, and have HT fix all checked.
Reboot when you're done.
