Answer 3

As long as the computer went ahead and booted up for you. And isn't giving you any trouble. I wouldn't worry about it. If you re-boot again, and it gives you the same error, call your local computer tech. they should be able to tell you if you need to take it in for repair, or what you actually need to re-install, if anything.

Tony start your computer in safe mode and run your anti-virus program.  If you do not have anti-virus download avast from cnet.com I am giving you 2 links, one for downloading anti-virus program, and one for explaining your virus on your computer

This is the explorer.exe application which runs every window on your system. It is an application, but, it is a critical Microsoft Windows component, as it is what makes Windows, well, Windows.

Everything I have read online about this issue signals a Repair install may be required. If you have your original OS image disk you are in good shape. If all you have is the rinky dink Restore disk that many large system manufacturers provided with XP and some even with Vista though many now give out the original OS image disk, you are up the creek, but not without a paddle. Here is the Search results page on this issue:

Castle Cops website appears to be down, but go ahead and try their link on your system. Some of the files which are corrupt may be different for different users, but this is usually the Explorer process in Windows. You could attempt to manually start it in the Task Manager or from the Run dialog box. Open Run, or in Task Manager, perhaps from within Safe Mode if you can access Safe Mode, (To open the Run dialog without being able to open the Start Menu, hold down the Windows Logo Key, and then tap R once) in Task Manager click on File--New Task (Run), then type in explorer.exe and hit Enter. If it starts great, if you reboot and get the same error, well, a recovery or reinstallation of your OS will be required.

If you do have the original OS image disk here is some assistance on a Repair installation:

If you have a Recovery or Restore disk you will need to use it to restore your system back to factory default condition. You will also need your Drivers and Utilities disk to install your drivers and utilities.

Many of the larger system builders provide a horrible Recovery Partition instead of giving out the Recovery disk. If you do not have your Recovery disk you will need to go to your manufacturers website, browse to Support, then do a search for Recovery options. Type in something along the lines of "Restore my system to factory condition", without the quotation marks. If you have a Dell, a link to that topic should be on the first page of your systems support area. Each system has a page for Drivers and Downloads.

If you have a Dell, it is a lot easier because the Dell website is easier to navigate than, lets say HP's website. What you do is enter your make and model, hit Enter, then read the Support options on the first page that shows up. If it isn't there, then do the search. Dell has specific step by step instructions on how to access the Recovery process. You use a certain keyboard combination as you boot the machine, rather like when you enter safe mode by tapping the F8 key. Once you initiate the process, it does go quicker than using the Recovery Disk. I know, because I have done this a couple of times, it has just be a while as I build my own systems now.

You do have a right to the actual Recovery media. If you wish, contact your manufacturer technical support division, and request your media. If you have lost or misplaced your Drivers and Utilities disk you have two options. Request it when you request your Recovery or Image disk, or access your Drivers and Utilities page at your manufacturers support website after you conclude the recovery process. In all actuality, often using the disk to install the drivers and utilities doesn't always perform as you would expect. In my experience one or more drivers fails to properly install. Inserting the media again and commanding Device Manager's Update Driver Wizard to search the media fails. At that point you can open up the files on the disk and manually install the driver or component, or you can download it from the website, and store it on your desktop, and then in the Driver Update Wizard click "have file" option, then browse to your desktop and finish the installation process.

Good luck and please have a good day.
