Hey guys i am working on upgrading an older comp celeron 366. I am just putting in a faster proc in it either a 533 or 400 celeron (which ever one works i will use).
This may get a little bit complicated and is prolly something i did wrong. Ok first thing i did was update the machine with all the latest patches for win 98 se after that was done i turned off the comp and left it alone until the procs showed up. (I didn't test the comp after the updates were installed) When the procs showed up i took the 533 and put it in and it booted just fine. The only problem was that when i tried to open any folder or anything that had to do with elplorer.exe i would get a BSOD. Then i decided to try the 400 and got the same results. Then i went back to the 366 and it does the same thing.
This comp is set up for multiple users and i only have the password for one of them. At one point of my trouble shooting i tried logging in by just hitting the cancel button at the login screen i got in and everything is perfect. No error messages or anything bad no matter what i do. I also have no problems in safe mode. I currently have it running with the 533 in it using the no password login method and all is stable.
I was going to attempt to reinstall the OS to see if that would solve the problem with logging in. Then i relized that i don't have win 98 se, so i just upgraded it to win me. That didn't fix the problem. But now instead of BSOD i get a grey error message that says "Explorer has caused an error in shell32.dll. Explorer will now close."
It seems to me that the problem probably started with one of the windows updates i downloaded. Unfortunately the comp hadn't been kept up to date so i downloaded probably like 30-40 updates at once.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. If any more info is needed just ask. TIA
