explorer illegal operation
explorer caused an invalid fault in module <unknown> at 0000:69f8e808

if i go into safe mode i can open any of the programs without problems. he is not connected to the internet. all i can say is that the peson that used to have it must of been into buffy the vampire slayer as at the top of the explorer bar page there is a big picture of one of the characters. is there any way i can get this off? do you think this might be causing the problem?? i cant ask the person who gave us the pc as they are no longer in the country and we have no contact with them lol!!
i could just give up but it seems such a waste as it could be a great pc!! please help, thanks
