QFECHECK.EXE lists updates to W98 and to W98 2Ed. Only 51 system files
claim to be updated from the last distribution at 4.10.2222A.

Comparing registry back-up revs looks to be a hurculean exercise, and
rather pointless if you don't know what to look for.

No recurrences over many hours with multiple excel spreadsheets,
explorer search windows, desktop-accessed windows, pdfs opening and
closing, sectional images being copied into renamed jpg formats for
filing into differing directories and the crankey non-ms web browser,
all going about their business.

Then.... a double reoccurence, with no files or windows open, when
double-clicking the (equivalent of the) 'my computer' desktop icon.
Both an explorer.exe page fault in <unknown> and the rarer Internet
Explorer 'program will shut down' warning.

As a process, is the latter; wmiexe.exe?

Hell.

You are welcome. Sorry to see the problem has recurred...

"Then.... a double reoccurence, with no files or windows open, when
double-clicking the (equivalent of the) 'my computer' desktop icon.
Both an explorer.exe page fault in <unknown> and the rarer Internet
Explorer 'program will shut down' warning.

....after seeming at long last to be cured. If you've restored a very old
Registry, maybe go now to Windows Update to see whether something is
re-offered. If the errors you report are rare, I'd really forget it. I
used to get those (especially the latter)-- but they've gone away
more/less on their own! Maybe do a Scandisk/Defrag, but don't let them
constantly restart-- abort & post back, if they do!

Internet Explorer is...

Not sure what this is, but probably yours should look exactly like mine

Oops, meant to say, it could appear to some you have lazy fingers! Sit
on a highchair & use your toes next time, MEB, if THAT turns out to be
true!
