Hi can anyone help me with something? I have looked on the MS KB and tried the solution there but it didn't help. They told me to go to the command prompt and type ren c:\explorer.exe explorer.old. I did this and was unable to get back into windows so I had to re-install Windows altogether. Now it is still happening. OH my problem. When I try to drag and drop files in Windows explorer, I get an error message and windows shuts down. The error message is " This program has performed an illegal operation" No specific module just 000000000:000 It is driving me mad. I have made sure that the files and folders I am trying to move are not read only and I can't see anything else I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help. Jen --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
