Copy and paste the exact error from the Event Viewer log... Start | Run | Type eventvwr.msc, and click OK | Check both the Application and System logs for the Explorer.exe error you posted | Right click the error and select Properties | Copy and paste (use the "Copy to Clipboard" button under the arrow butons in the "Event Properties" window).

Can't copy and paste and the Start icon is not at the bottom of the screen.

Dell tech support said to turn the computer off, re-start and hit F8 and go into safe mode and click on restore and follow the prompts and I did that and presto, everything is back to normal.
