Title: Win Explorer
Post by: LSC9901 on August 21, 2004, 12:38:41 PM
I still seem to have the KERNAL32.dll problem and here is more info. The message generally occurs when I exit IE. I have been looking at some mesages posted here and note that there are other browsers than can be used, such as FOXFIRE. If I should install it and am happy with it can I somehow delete Internet Explorer? I do have netscape on the computer but generally use it as an E-mail ramp. I've looked in the add/remove folder but do not see it there. More than anything I would like to find the cause of my problem. When I do exit IE it sometimes seems to lock up. When I use the Ctrl/Alt/delete buttons it will generally end the task but it shuts down most of the system drivers. I then must re-start to get the drivers up and running again. I'm fairly confident that I had this problem once before and resolved it but cannot remember the fix. HELP !!!!!

I am running Win ME and IE 5.5. I've tried to upgrade newer versions of IE and the download happens OK but when I try to setup I get an error message that I cannot remember right now. I know that doesn't help but thats where I'm at right now.

You can uninstall Internet Explorer from the software list. However, I recommend you keep it installed because not all websites are made for Firefox. However, the chances of running into such a website are quite slim and Firefox's superiority makes up for that.

Rather than uninstalling Internet Explorer, I suggest you set Mozilla Firefox as your default browser. It will ask if you want to do so when you launch Firefox.

Yes I do have Norton AV on the system. Came with the computer. Haven't heard much good about it.

 LSC9901........If you have Norton 2004 ....it's a very good program .....a bit of a resource hog ,but if you set it up properly and make sure you have it configued to get the auto updates it will not let you down.
*****Check the subscription lenght ....it may only be good for 90 days******

I just ran Stinger and found a w32Bagle virus. It also deleted it. Dunno if that will help but it surely will not hurt to be rid of it.
