The last time that I had the Slot-1 PC running was the day before I posted the opening query in this thread, & that day I couldn't recall what Windows kept saying when it wouldn't /couldn't start Windows Explorer:


> Something it finds in or with USER32.DLL. I'll let that one go for now, I guess.

There are two dialog boxes. The first one has this message: "The Explorer.Exe file is linked to missing export USER32.DLL:IsHungAppWindow."

The second dialog box comes up and says "A device attached to the system is not functioning."

Windows Explorer doesn't start. Google was no help on this one (lots of hits, no specifics, though). Any ideas?
