Windows Windows Explorer error

Whenever I try to open My Computer, Control Panel, or a Folder I get a Windows Explorer error. Then explorer seems to restart and nothing gets opened. here is the error msg:

AppName: explorer.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106
ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.1106
Offset: 000216af

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

 

Try Fixing It Using Your Windows CD
Or just reinstall windows

 

Please see if downloading and installing the latest version of the Msvcrt.dll system file helps:

Good Luck!

 

Ok I downloaded the newest version of the msvcrt.dll. I still get the error but now it says "Mod Name: shell32.dll" instead of the msvcrt.dll.

2. Control Panel problem may be caused by corrupted CPL file(s):
