Guest Joe Bloggs Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 This morning (here in UK) my PC running on XP SP2 said updates were ready to install and recommended I should install them which I did. On reboot I started getting lots errors and problems. I have managed to start in safe Mode and restore to system status as of 2 days ago (13 August), on restart (now working ok) the following report was generated and may give a clue as to what caused error? These files were affected: msxml3.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 explorer.exe C:\WINDOWS\ iexplore.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer advpack.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 mshtmld.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 url.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 urlmon.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 webcheck.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 wininet.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 Maybe my PC now running without latest updates? Be grateful for any advice. Thanks Philip

After system restore on my end I got the same messages. If you read the update details it says stuff about most of those programs, but if you get tons of errors and stuff then I have no idea why. I'm not going to system restore now, looks like my problems with explorer.exe is part of the update. EXPLORER.EXE turns to explorer.exe right after the update. Very strange.
