Last night I defragmented and this morning I get nothing but an error message on the screen saying " Explorer has caused an error in MSHTML.DLL. Exolorer will close. I you continue to experience problems try restarting your compute." When I restart I get the same message. I also have the start key in the bottom left side so I try to use tools and Restore to take my computer settings back to yesterday but no luck. I get another message that there is a problem with RST. Now I go to my old reliable, believe it or not, Emachine and do a internet search and find that Windows ME has a problem with Internet Explorer 5.5. So I go back to the broken Dell to download a newer version from an AOL cd I got in the mail and my cd player and burner won't work either. I go into the safe mode. My icons do come back but but nothing works. Can't even connect to the internet. It says there is a problem with my modem. Does anyone out there have any idea how to solve this nightmare?
