I'm running an Athlon 1.4 with 512 Megs of ram. My problem started after I installed and ran a screen saver that I used on my old Win98 machine. Crash. I used the boot disks to get running again but now every time I start up I get a program error message, "explorer.exe has caused errors and will be shut down. An error log has been created." I uninstalled the screen saver but that didn't help. I tried to do the repair option with the boot disks but that didn't work. I think there is something corrupt in my registry but I don't know how to fix it other than formating. I'm really not comfortable with that sort of thing. Does anyone know row to restore a registry beck to normal?

Thanks Dan for your suggestion. I used 'dependency walker' but unfortunatly I can't seem to find any files that are related to the suspect screensaver. It looks like I'm going to format the partition thar the corrupt registry is on.
