windows explorer error

[Lucivero]

Lately I have been getting the following error from explorer:

Message says "Explorer has caused an error in user.exe,
explorer will now close"

I am running Windows Me and explorer is ver=6.00.2800.1106

The computer has 128MB memory and a 30GB hard drive.

The processor is a Pentium III 933 megahertz.

Any one have any clues as to what causes this message and
how to fix it. It becomes a big pain when you are in the
middle of something and this happens.

Another note: Sometimes get the message explorer has caused
an error in OLE32.dll and explorer will now close.

I'd be very surprised if Explorer.exe on an ME system is v6.00.2800.1106,
since that version number is one that belongs to Iexplore.exe in Win XP!!
Please recheck your system!
