Hi Gang, I have AMD 800MHz Athlon WD 15.3GB 7200RPM Hard drive in two partitions 128MB PC-133 Crucial RAM Ricoh CDRW Asus CD hmmm, etc... I am dual booting Windows 2000 and Windows ME. It was Win2k and Win98SE but I just did a complete format and re-install. Before the format, I was getting errors in Windows 2000. After the format loading only minimal programs back, I am starting to get them again. I thought I had it licked.... "IEXPLORE.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created." So when I peruse the error log in dr.watson, it gave me (pid=1108) as the culprit. That was cdmax. Now I do not have cdmax installed. but got the error again. This time it pointed to IEXPLORE.exe I have looked around, fiddled, played, jumped up and down...to no avail. I haven't yet installed my antivirus, or any other programs save for office pro 97. This happens when online as well as offline. I can't find a common thread. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't guess I understand what iexplore.exe even does. Help! Thank You, David A.
