Reinstalled/Repaired XP multiple times but still getting errors. Errors such as "Windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" , "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to shut down." also random xxxx.exe. and xxxx.tmp error notices.


Can't get sp1a , sp2 or sp3 installed without errors. cant get windows update software to download.

When you say clean, is there a specific way to do it? I vaccumed it out pretty good and cleaned the surfaces. Restarted XP and got same old "windows explorer has enountered aporblem and needs to shut down", and just now "kxduexf.exe has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" errors.


edit oh I see your compressed air message now. Where do i get compressed air?

The system is booting up with no problems then? This is just a Internet Explorer issue?

Download Firefox from my signature below and try it. If the problem does not happen with it then you may have to update Internet explorer.

Also what was the reason for reinstalling OS system?
Did you do a full format and install or a repair installation?

To me that has a slight hint of file infector

I was getting error messages before I did the reinstall full format. I downloaded firefox and still getting error messages.

Although I agree internet explorer needs to be upgraded . But I can't do it until SP2 is installed. Same goes for windows update needs SP2.

Reinstalled/Repaired XP multiple times but still getting errors

.
I am curious. When you reinstalled and repaired did you do a complete format of the hard drive?
Did you have any problems/ messages/ hangups/ difficulty with the reinstall?

If the install went clean, then the next step would be the chipset drivers for the main board.
If you had install problems we can be looking at a bad CD or bad hard drive.

How dirty is the inside of the case? such as the fans? Usually dirty fans will create overheating which will create weird problems.
Are all the fans working?
