"any suggestions or more info that you need to answer this questions???"
I can offer suggestions, but read your post twice and can't find the question.
Suggestions:
1. Use System Restore to when it worked.
2. Be free of all parasites with the tools I noted at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=1313&start=0

When trying to go to mail.charter.net to check my email I get "explorer has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL - try restart" Restart does not help. I called the support people at Charter and was told that it was a pc problem and they could not help...
I also recieved a message while trying to trouble shoot this problem... Error in C:\Windows\System\shimgvw.dll Missing entry: imageview_fullscreen
When trying to open Kernel32 to see what it is I recieved this msg... could not open Kernel32.dll b/c it is either not a supported file type or b/c it was corrupted (for examp, it was sent as an email attachment and wasnt correctly decoded)
any suggestions or more info that you need to answer this questions???
