Try this fix by JmC a while back, hope this helps. re: Explorer-Illegal operation error at startup Wednesday, June 22, 2005 at 10:03 pm Posted by JmC (14166 messages posted) *********There was quite a few people last week with the same error. The below procedure worked for them. It's unknown what caused it though...... * Boot while holding the CTRL key to enter the boot menu. * Select the COMMAND PROMPT ONLY option and press enter. * From the C:\> prompt, type SCANREG /RESTORE and press enter. * When the restore screen appears, select a backup dated before this problem occurred and then restart the system. (A properly working registry has the word 'Started' next to the date) ***********
