explorer: Ileegal Operation
I uninstalled an application from the Add/Remove applications item in
the control panel named 'SearchAssistant', which apparently seemed like a spyware app. The instant the uninstallation was completed, add/remove programs closed and it never opened. The message displayed on double clicking on it was of Access Restriction. On closing and attempting to reopen the control panel, the same message was displayed. I restarted the computer, and now during the time of shell loading, it displays a message saying that the application explorer.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. No other task loads up and the system stays in that position until another restart. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks |
