Title: Windows Explorer.EXE Crash
Post by: DrDigitized2 on April 30, 2009, 10:56:15 AM

When I start my computer everything loads up ok up til the user log in. After I hit ok the Explorer.EXE crashes before the desktop loads up. This also happends when I use safe mode. I can not find software that will help me figure out the problem that I can use with out opening windows XP.

Explorer.EXE - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on the ok to terminate the application.

Can some one please help me with this problem?
