Every time I boot up ...Win 98 starts up but I immediately get an Explorer error 'This program has caused an illegal operation and will be shutdown....'
I can close the Explorer fault and can move the mouse cursor but I cannot do anything else. No progs will open and when the cursor is moved over the start menu bar it turns to an hour glass and I cannot open Start.
Nothing happens when I use ctrl alt del and the only way to shutdown is by the power switch.
I have re-installed windows to no avail and exactly same thing happens again.
I am not sure wether this could be more of a hardware problem but as it always Explorer I thought I would try this forum first.
