    When I run a search on Windows explorer I am getting the message "Windows Explorer encountered an error etc".

    The error says:

    Error signature
    AppName:explorer.exe
    AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180
    ModName:msvcr71.dll
    ModVer:7.10.3052.4
    Offset: 00010582


    I have run RegCure and it says 1778 errors. I havent clicked fix erros as I am a bit wary about just letting some new program make alterations to my registry etc. I also did a scan with RegistrySmart and I think that came up with more errors. I had a brief look through the errors though and I know that some of them are right as there are links to programs there that I deleted ages ago. What should I do/trust??

    I think you've got two choices:

    1. Trust those programs. They seem safe to me but, I only looked at the sites, I haven't used 'em.

    or

    2. Use the Windows recovery disc to repair the errors.

    Personally, I use the recovery disc.
