Here's the deal. I was on a site recently and i was getting a bunch of pop up ads, so when i went to close em out my computer froze and about the time it did come back to life,it froze again saying " windows exlporer error" and it wouldnt let me go beyond that, now i can't even get into safe mode cause all i get is the blue screen of death saying "fatal exception OE at 0167:00000013. I swear this thing is posesesed . Can anyone help?
 
Try the following from a dos prompt.

scanreg /fix

If that doesn't work, try

scanreg /restore

Select a registry point from before when the crash occured.

P.S. Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
 
If the scanreg sugestions do not work, then:

-Restart the computer, press the Del key(or whatever key is specified on the 1st or 2nd screen at startup) to enter CMOS Setup, use the arrow keys to highlight Default, Standard, or Setup settings, press Enter, press Y at the warning(if it appears), make sure the floppy drive is configured to boot before the hard drive, highlight 'Save And Exit', press Enter, type Y at the warning, insert the Windows boot floppy disk, press Enter, select 'Start Windows Without CD-ROM Support', press Enter, at the A:\> prompt type dir c: and press Enter:
(1)If you do not see the contents of the hard drive, then it has a problem(defective, loose or defective cable, or disabled or bad IDE1 controller).
(2)If you see your hard drive's contents, then do the following:
-If your hard drive is using 3rd party overlay or compression software, make sure it's properly configured.
-Use an antivirus floppy to check the hard drive for a virus(see your antivirus program's instructions).
-Type scandisk c: at the A:\> prompt, and press Enter to fix any errors.
-If no good, then type C: at the A:\> prompt, press Enter, type fdisk /mbr at the C:\> prompt and press Enter to replace the master boot record.
-If still no good, then type sys c: at the A:\> prompt, and press Enter to replace the system files.
-If nothing works, then the memory may be bad.
