Hi, every time i log into an account on my computer, or do explorer.exe in cmd from C:\Windows\ i get the error "The ordinal 110 could not be located in the dll explorerframe.dll" and explorer.exe doesnt load. i belive Explorerframe.dll is corrupt but sfc /scannow doesnt detect anything.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem without having to reinstall windows?
When did this start? Do you have a System Restore to revert to a time before the problem arose? This will also clue you to the program or other change which might have been made to cause the error.
Otherwise work through the Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 including malware scans, Clean Boot, resolve repeat errors, check for Problems and Solutions.
This started 3 days ago and the system restore point before this happened is corrupt, im thinking the computer was in the middle of updating when the power went out
These .dll's can get damaged by uninstalling a program and are used by programs, so if you think you know which program might be causing the problem you can reinstall it which often solves the .dll error.
You can also try SFC /SCANNOW Command from Safe Mode or from thh Win7 disk which has onboard the replacement: SFC /SCANNOW Run in Command Prompt at Boot
Otherwise there is quite a lot from google search for replace explorerframe.dll file - Google Search
Ha ha! i found my usb that has a windows install on a virtual box harddrive, maybe i can get the dll from there?
Ok explorerframes replaced, now i have access to my taskbar and desktop again!
Do you want to explain how it was done to help others, since the title of the thread will attract thousands of google searches?
