...will be shut down by windows?
I am frequently getting a system error that will shut down all running applications, not allowing me time to save my work. The error is this "Explorer (or another application) has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is now being created. (Cancel) This has become even more frequent lately, yet I have research the problem on Microsoft's Help database site, the solution they provided was that Symantec "Cleansweep" was creating a conflict and to remove it would resolve this issue. Unfortunately this is not the case, I did remove Cleansweep as suggested but the problem still remains. Any ideas? Thanks to all ahead of time.

Cleanup the startup stuff. In win98 - Do a Start - Run - msconfig, startup Tab , or for win95 , NT or win2k,
Download the Startup COP a free pcmag utility from
http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,,77594,.html
Run it and it will show you everything that is listed in all the possible startup
places, and allow you to disable things one at a time until the problem is eliminated.
A lot of probelms are caused by excess old baggage - programs that have not been properly un-installed. Startup Cop will eliminate leftovers and un-wanted programs that you no longer want.
Older Antivirus programs and Norton Utilities have been known to cause problems
try disabling them also !
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
6) Get two updated antivirus programs and check your computer Hardware.
Check the event logs
DO a SFC /scannow form a DOS window
Make sure you have the latest hardware drivers and that SP2 is installed.
IF IIS is being used get ALL the security patches.
I hope this helps !
