My mates PC has just started playing up.

When you go into Internet Explorer and click the history button the history pane appears on the left hand side. But you also get an error message that appears "Explorer has caused an error in shlwapi.dll". So you end up having to close IE down and boot it up again.

Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue? The computer is fully updated via the Microsoft update page.

Thanks in advance

download shlwapi.dll and place it in your windows/system directory,or simply try to repair ie

Thanks. I've tried repairing IE to no avail. Got a copy of shlwapi.dll so will try that.

Thanks

Often resolves a lot of errors.

Just use Firefox. IE is unstable and unsecure

or use opera or firefox,take your pick
