Runtime Error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Please help...

I seem to get constant errors.

Microsoft Visial C++ Runtime Error.
Program: C:\Windows\Explorer.exe


How can I fix this? I've re-installed Win98 and this does not work.

If I leave the error window open, my system runs slow. If I close it, the
system locks up.

thanks.

I checked through control panel/programs and did not see anything that could
resemble a common task bar. Hijack This could not find any odd entries
related to unwanted taskbar processes.

It occurs when IE is running or if I have Explorer open. If its when IE
running, the error points to c:\windows\explorer. If its not IE, there is no
file/ path associated with the error. I just get the error window. In both
cases, the text at th bottom of the error window says to contact the program
vendor....

So, can we assume that you do not have any Office XP programs installed, per the KB
article I posted earlier?

Have a look at the 5 web pages on the subject that start here --
Visual Basic C++ Runtime Library error:
http://malektips.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000138.html

Update your anti-virus app and then run a full-system virus scan.

Use CWShredder, the CoolWeb removal tool, available here:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3019.html
http://aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip
Close all browser windows and open apps, start CWShredder and click the Fix button.

In addition, install Ad-Aware SE free Personal Edition, start it, click its 'Check
for Updates' link in the app to install updates, then use it to scan your system,
and remove what it finds.
Ad-Aware:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html

Install, update and run SpyBot Search & Destroy, scan your system, and then remove
the items in RED only.
SpyBot S&D:
http://www.safer-networking.org/in [...] e=download

Install SpywareBlaster:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2859.html
Click the link in the app to check for and install updates, then click to 'Enable
all protection'.
Update at least weekly.

You might also try a repair of IE --
Click Start>Run, type the following and click Enter, for IE5x:
RUNDLL32 SETUPWBV.DLL,IE5Maintenance

or this, if you have IE6x installed:
RUNDLL32 SETUPWBV.DLL,IE6Maintenance

Choose the Repair option, and continue.

If the repair says it cannot complete, or it does not fix the problem, try
reinstalling Internet Explorer:
