Guest Kieron Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I am running a Windows 2003 server standard edition. Each time i boot when explorer loads it causes a fault and is restarted, this is in a loop, have started in safe mode and ran virus, spyware, trojan software and nothing found, have copied in explorer.exe from cd still the same, have ran chkdsk /F option have also ran the scf /scannow option, still the same. All is ok in safe mode as no drivers etc are loaded, was not present when the error first occurred but was drafted in a few days later, have been told that nothing was done to cause the error, they first noticed something wrong when they could no longer log into the server........I believed them.....anyway any insight or assistance would be greatly appreciated as I dont want to have to reinstall everything...... Thanks in advance Kieron........
Guest Dave Patrick Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Re: Explorer.exe keeps restarting Try a diagnostic startup where all non-microsoft services are disabled and all third party startups are disabled.
