    You have to boot again from the CD

    then select repair on the 2nd installation screen.

    that's about the easiest way to fix it.

    there's something real wrong with the partition from your last crash, so bunch of stuff has gone lost.

    If your using 2 strips of ram try them one at a time or borrow a strip somewhere to try see if explorer settles down. Could be bad ram and easy enough fix to try.

    that's exactely what i meant

    during the 2nd install screen if you select Repair, it will not over write your stuff, it'll only fix what is wrong with only the system files.

    anyways... upgrade / re-install, it's the same thing.

    as long as you don't select New install, or Format then re-install, then it's good to go
