Explorer

[Gladius]

For a while now my computer says the explorer did an illegal operation and it is really annoying when it does this it closes off a few programs that are running. Then it freezes up the comp. a few minutes later. What are some things that could be going wrong.

no clue...u could try defragging ur hard-drive and reinstalling windows....dont know if that would help though...of course reinstalling windows usually takes care of nething u need 2 take care of

I have been thinking of getting a pentium 4 cause my comp is going down hill really fast and plus the pentium 3 that I have can't run the newer games that are coming out (bf1942, Raven Shield)

But i dont have money to pay for that and my parents aren't willing to pay anything. :(

So does anyone have some other idea?

go to Control panel>add remove programs, click your version of IE and remove. then select repair.

explorer and internet explorer are seperate things....go to www.microsoft.com and then go to windows update. Make sure u are not lacking any critical updates. You may want to check for any/all driver updates while your at it

If you have a lot of crap on your HD, consider removing it and organizing all your stuff. After that defrag and update windows. If you have scandisk or equilavent run it as well.

i would do a system evaluation... find a free prog sumwheres and see efficieny... sometimes u just need to defrag/organize as drivehappy said, other times ur HDD is fucked over =-(
