    I really need this fixed because i can only view certain sites


    when i open IE it says Explorer has caused an error in DDRAW.DLL


    i cant replace/delete it though as its used when explorer is open, and if i close explorer i cant use the desktop or anything

    im using my documents to view this by typing in the adress but even that sometimes crashes with the same error

    Mozilla

    :whistle:


    EDIT: Seriously though, maybe it's a trojan virus or something. I'd do some scans with Spybot: Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware & McAfee If I was you.

    To replace the DLL, you would have to reboot into safe mode to replace it. To get into safe mode, slam down on the F8 key right before the windows boot screen boots up (I recommend you keep pressing it the second your computer reboots until you get the menu) then when you get the menu select safe mode. Then copy what you need and reboot.


    Or use Mozilla because IE sucks c*ck
