I have a Dell Inspiron 4100 laptop running Windows ME.
- Originally, some hyperlinks would not work in Internet Explorer. So I did a bunch of things like run virus scans and installed some patches based upon the Microsoft sight.
- Problem still occurred.
- Ran a repair of IE 6.0.
- Problem still occurred.
- Tried to uninstall I.E..0. That is where the bigger problem now happens.
- Computer now locks up before Window ME fires up all the way. Get error message "Explorer has caused error in SHDOCVW.DLL" I can close that message but the computer does nothing else.
- Cannot boot up in Safe Mode.
- Can't reboot with backup discs.
- I have a $1000 paperweight.[/list=1]
Can anyone help me. All my computer-savy friends are stumped.
