China DOS Union

Why make it so complicated~

DD, don't do this~

Haha... in the end you still fell for wengier's trick

Hehehehe! I wonder whether WINGIER usually goes online with DOS?
DD, then what are you using to get online now? What exactly is going on with you? Even reinstalling 98 after formatting still doesn't work? No way.

YYS: Not really, I'm still using IE to go online now.

DD: You can check whether the EXPLORER.EXE file is damaged, and try replacing it. It hasn't come to formatting yet.

Win98PE really is a new term invented by Roy, not bad, not bad!

Sigh... I finally found out why the error happened... You all know there's a mobile phone called "OKWAP 166", right!! This phone can connect to a computer, so its accessories include a program for connecting to the computer. It was after I installed that program and rebooted that it conflicted with Explorer.exe...... So I hope that if anyone is using that phone, absolutely do not install its program.... so you don't end up like me...

Wengier: Explorer.exe isn't damaged
YYS: This hard disk can't be reformatted, otherwise my important materials would be gone....

DD, you didn't explain it clearly. At first you said reinstalling the system still didn't work, so I thought you meant you reformatted and then reinstalled, so I asked about it. If that were really the case, then your hard disk would have a problem, but if the hard disk had a problem it wouldn't show that kind of symptom either. So it turns out you did an overwrite installation. Although an overwrite installation can preserve the original materials and programs so they still work, generally it can't solve problems, and it also creates a lot of junk. Later the system will get slower and slower, so I don't recommend overwrite installation. I suggest you export your important materials first, then reformat and install the system again, and finally import the materials back. It's best to install the system and application software, and when it is very stable, make an image.
Later I saw the screenshot you posted in the WINDOWS and other operating systems section. Generally, when an illegal operation appears—that is, the prompt error shown in your screenshot—it is mostly because that program has a conflict in memory with some other program. In other words, two programs are contending for the same block of memory. Some cases can be solved after restarting, while in other cases you must uninstall one of the programs.

Mm, but right now I can't even get into the desktop, so how am I supposed to uninstall it??

DD: Here are three suggestions for reference.
1. Enter Safe Mode and see whether there is a desktop. If there is, then uninstall it in Safe Mode.
2. If not, then do what WENGIER said at the beginning and change Shell=Explorer.exe in SYSTEM.INI to Shell=C:\COMMAND.COM, then in DOS mode enter C:\windows\CONTROL.EXE. Then it will say some component or other cannot be found; ignore it and click OK in the prompt box, and the Control Panel will appear. Then go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it. (Note: if that phone installation program has INI or other record files, it's best to make a backup, so that if this method doesn't work, you can see exactly which system files it overwrote during installation.)
3. If it still doesn't work after uninstalling, then you should consider whether some DLLs were damaged. At that point the backup from #2 will be useful. If so, just find them on the WIN98 installation CD and overwrite them.
By the way, does that program run automatically at startup? If so, run MSCONFIG or remove it from the registry.

That program does not run automatically at startup, but during installation it seemed to change something. I don't really know the details. I installed that program on two computers, and both times it caused Explorer.exe to have an error. It makes me so mad!!˙
