sometimes i get the "explorer has ecountered a problem. I dont know why. Some tell me that I have to many sites opened at once, or if there is more than one computer in your house that is in use at the time may have something to do with it. Send an error report to your computer.   Good Luck

well. it depends. sometimes it may clear and sometimes the problem still might continue. \n\nas you sed, you talked to msn and microsoft about the problems and if they couldn't help, then i my self would try the re-installation option. however, i would do a completely clean installation. re-format the hard drive and then reinstall the OS. \n\ntry that if it works. \ncontact any professional if you need assistance.

A friend of mine just went through that, she had to un-install yahoo and then re-install, that took care of the problem.

I would suggest tryingn to log in again. If that doesn't work, send an e-mail to customer support with your e-mail problem.\nIt was a good idea to post your question here as well.

Check your internet connection. If you are sure that there is a connection, try signing out and signing in again, since cookies may have expired. IF nothing works, there is always the old method.. REBOOT and curse Windows and Microsoft ;-)

Try the offline Windows NT Password Editor.  Or alternatively try booting into safe mode and typing in administrator at the login prompt.  A lot of the time that USER ID has no password but can usually only be accessed by booting into safe mode

change your user account type to administrator again.\nor ask ur girlfriend to do that if you dont know her password.

almost sounds like you are logged in as a "limited user"...be sure to be logged in under an administrator account and try again.... and also try going to the Microsoft Update site...the first thinmg they do is install the active X so they can continue to provide the updates your machine needs....

Ok are you using two different comps.......maybe at work during the day then home at night? I have had that happen a few times, and at one pt. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. That might help. I think it is just msn itself though. I have heard a number of people having that same kind of problem with msn. If you get a box that pops up when its trying to open I usually keep pressing try again everytime it comes up and it finally opens.

this is about the 1,000,000th time that this question has been asked. It is due to a recent microsoft update and microsoft are fully aware of this problem. they are advising customers to go to the microsoft website and download all of the latest updates and this should fix the problem.

try typing the error message exactly as it appears into google and in the microsoft knowledge base:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/ Does this happen only on your account or does it happen on other accounts (windows logon). You could try running a good spyware and virus scanning program like these: \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nhttp://www.windowsonecare.com/
