The responses of "download Mozilla, IE, etc." would work if your browser would at least open. Since it doesn't, you can do a few things to get around it.\n\n1. On the computer you are on currently (the working one), download IE, Mozilla, etc. Copy the installation file and all related files onto a CD or flash drive. Install the browser using that CD or USB flash drive. Then it should work.\n\n2. Create a wired/wireless home network. I see that you already have a gateway (wired router). You can plug this computer into the gateway, as well as the other (broken) one, and set up home networking. Or you could buy a wireless router/access point, and wireless adapters. Either way you will be able to access the Internet on this current computer and also your files which are on the other computer, since it is part of the same network. \n\n3. If all else fails, you will have to re-install Windows, as that should format your hard drive and make everything back to defaults. IE is a component of Windows and therefore should be back.\n\nAlso, you cannot "share browsers". You can create a network and share files, printers, and an internet connection (Step 2 which I described above)

Press Ctrl Shift Esc. under task manager click file then run. Type explorer and the start will come and also the icons. Try to reboot again and if the start didn't load then Do the steps above but type regedit. Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then SOFTWARE then Microsoft then Windows then Current Version then click on run. At the right pane, Right click then new then string value then rename it "explorer" without quotes. right click on explorer then click modify then type C:&#92;Windows&#92;explorer.exe and click OK. then reboot. the START will automatically loaded.

explorer is different than iexplorer.\n\nThe explorer runs all the desktop, icons, and basic windows.   Iexplorer.exe is internet explorer.   They are different even though there is only one letter difference in spelling.\n\nSo no, you don't need internet explorer for your desktop

Go to start | run \n\nthen type "iexplore" (without the quotes)\n\nor download firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/

This error is very common, it basically just means that when Windows tried to read memory that the program told it to read, there was either nothing there, or the data that was in that spot in memory was corrupted.  \n\n"IEXPLORE.EXE" is Internet Explorer.  It doesn't mean it will delete Internet Explorer, just that it is going to shut down the program.  You can always relaunch the program again.Try and see if it happens when you go to the same site, or if it happens no matter where you go.  If it happens just on the same site, then there may be a java applet or activex control that is causing the problem; if it happens everywhere, and in other applications besides internet explorer, you may have some bad memory in your system.  \n\nIf you bought your PC from Dell or some other company like that, try giving them a call and they will walk you through how to test your memory; if it tests to be bad, your warranty should allow you to have your memory replaced free of charge.\n\nIt is also worth noting that viruses or spyware can also cause this problem; try running a virus scan and check for spyware in order to rule that possibility out.  You DO have an antivirus and anti-spyware program don't you? :)

First make sure to close all active programs except for ones like your Anti-virus (usually those in the system tray).\n\n1.  Download the file and save it in a directory you can find.\n2.  Close Internet Explorer\n2.  Unzip the file\n3.  Go to START Run... and find the file using the Browse button.\n4    Click on the file name.\n6    Press the okay button and watch it go.\n\nTo find that elusive program go to Start and Search then files and folders.  Type the name in the box under Search for files or folders named:  Skip the box labeled Containing Text.  For the drop down box called Look In: Select the drive where the program is stored, usually the C: drive.  Then press the Search Now button.  If you double click on the file name that should run the program as well, provided it is unzipped.  Anything in a Temp directory, usually found under the operating system's folder, can safely be deleted.  You can even delete the folder, if Windows needs it then it will recreate it.

Thats good to have other explorers but still u should have ur basic explorer working at the same time for any emergency....\n\nSo do one thing which can help u, goto Control panel and then Add/Remove programmes  from there select Windows builtin programmes and from there 1st delete the IE from ur system by  unselecting the option for IE and after that again install it by selecting that Option from the same location.\n\nHope it will work

check that you have a good connection to the net, check cables, plugs... if nothing happens You may have a virus, try cleaning up all the cookies and temporary files in your computer, download AdAware (the latest) from www.download.com, its free, run it, that should help a lot, if it doesnt, try uninstalling and reinstalling explorer.. good luck

If you tell us any errors you get or what operating system you have, we might be able to give more help.  Try this....\n\nOption #1\nYou might have a program running that is causing them not to run.  Try hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL and end every program except Explorer. Then try running your scans.\n\nOption #2\nTry starting your computer in safe mode.  I don't know your operating system, but go here to find out how. \nhttp://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml\nOnce you're in safe mode, try running scan disc and defrag.\n\nMost likely you need to just end some programs before you try again. Good luck!

First of all explorer.exe is not internet explorer for all the confused people. explorer.exe is the what is used to click start show the taskbar. If you end the process you notice you cant do anything, so i recommend clicking start, mycomputer, then right click the c drive and click properties, then tools, then check now on error-checking, if it does find a problem with explorer.exe it will fix itself. :)

To make this a bit less annoying, first off, instead of rebooting, try Ctrl + Alt + Del to access the task manager, then end the explorer.exe, if listed.  Then go to File - New Task (Run) and type 'explorer.exe' and hit enter to get everything running again, hopefully.  At least until you try to right-click again.  This should help hold you over.\n\nGo to Start - Run and type sfc.exe /scannow ---then hit Enter.\n\nAlso click here to download a registry patch that will disable the right-click function of XP.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenuundo.reg\n\n(I believe that you would have to reboot the computer for this to apply, but I would try first without rebooting)\n\nThen click here to reenable it.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenu.reg\n\nI thought this would be much easier than editing the registry.  Hope this works for you, it has for others.  Good luck.

Try restoring your computer to mabye 2 or 3 days ago to see if this resolves the problem. Or just go into Task Manager and restart explorer.exe.

NEVER Delete Anything from the Windows folder or from your  registry, (Not Even these sqmdata.sqm" and "$hf_mig$" and "$NTUninstallK...$) as you will probably cause some serious problems.  Maybe even failure.\nI highly recommend doing this first.   \nYou could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nThen you can try reinstalling IE7 if you want.  Good Luck, \nE
