Windows Forum / Windows Me / Software / April 2004Error Loading Explorer.exe
I just ran an HP uninstall utility for an HP all in one. After I ran the utility I cannot access windows. I receive an error message "Error Loading Explorer.Exe You Must Reinstall Windows". I tried all of the items in Knowledge Base Articles 299296, 299313, 306599. I have files on the hard drive that I need. Does anybody have any ideas? Thank You See if there is anything here that can help, and have you tried a System Restore to before the problem. Joan TROUBLESHOOTING WINDOWS Zero in on the Problem http://aumha.org/win4/a/tshoot.htm http://aumha.org/win5/a/tshoot.htm The page gives ten primary troubleshooting strategies that should be helpful in a large majority of Windows and application problem situations. In other words, it's the sort of thing that I personally rely on 80% of the time -- both on the newsgroups and for the 6,000 users I serve at work -- to define a problem and zero in on what's going on. Perhaps some of these points will be of value to some of you visiting these newsgroups looking for answers -- and, maybe even more so, those of you who are here offering help in finding those answers.

I have tried most everything that is listed here. You mentioned a system restore. Can I restore the system without the ability to access windows?

Use the method described in KB 279736 "How to Start the System Restore Tool from a Command Prompt" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=279736) to run system restore. Basically this means involves editing system.ini from DOS and substituting progman.exe for explorer.exe as the shell and then hopefully being able to start Win Me and launch system restore.
