Explorer Runtime Error

by pleasehelp May 21, 2005 12:49PM PDT

Lately from time to time when I try to open a new window or a page I get a pop-up message from Explorer that says "Run Time Error 226 (followed by a # and a letter followed by some #s) and advises me to restart the computer", can anyone tell me what causes that and how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for your help!!

Windows ME was the worst os released by microsoft. It's the blue screen of doom, if you get these often, reinstall os or upgrade to XP. As for the error exactly, that's not very important to know.
