If I do not fix this without a complete format, I really hate Microsoft!!
Well, just because IE doesn't work, doesn't necessary mean you have to perform a complete format.. You can always switch to an alternative browser,
ie. Mozilla, Phoenix, Opera...

Have you tried to reinstall with a newer build?

I think I tracked it down... It's definitely a Flash related problem. When I first visited a site with it, Windows asked me if I wanted to install Flash 6. I made a mistake and said no. The site did not open correctly.
Now, when I try to instal the damn thing, BAM!! BSOD and a reference to Win32k.sys!!
Can anybody explain me any of this??? This happens after a fresh Windows 2000 install!!!
And before this happened I checked Event Log and everything was fine!! No errors at all!!
It seems to me that if someone refuses to install Flash 6 when asked, at the first time, IE is all screwed up if you try to install it later!! Damn buggy software...
Any solutions?? Can I uninstall and reinstall flash?? How??

Download the full installer for shockwave flash.... It's buried on Macromedia's site... If you like, I can send you the full installer for the player. Just drop me an email. I think the latest version is 8.5.1, if I am not mistaken.

Thanx, but I have found it.
I used Macromedia Flash Uninstaller first and then installed shockwave 8.5.1. While installing I received a "MSN messenger caused errors and will be closed"!
I hate this sh*t.... I'm starting to think that I'll have to reformat again!!! 2nd time in a week!! ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(
But I'll still try IErradicator for Internet explorer. If this doesn't work nothing will, but this FUC*ING computer is not more persistent than me!!!
Oh yeah....

I have been using messenger 4.6. I think it's the latest.
Anyway, another similar error ocurred even when I shut down messenger, before reinstalling Shockwave 8.5.1.
So, I think it's not a messenger's fault but something else I haven't figured out yet.
Tried IErradicator... Like expected it didn't work very well... It messed up my Windows completely. When reinstalled IE6 SP1 there where many strange errors and missing stuff...
So I went back to the beginning. New partition, new format and new Windows 2000 SP1 clean install. After this I have just installed Creative video drivers 29.42, which always worked fine before, and my cable modem drivers.
Then I went imediatelly to sites with Flash animation content. My favorite, the source of all this mess is www.mytmn.pt
To my absolute frustration and surprise, when I said Yes to install Flash player, IE crashed and I had to reboot... ;( ;(
I never quit, but this is starting to look like a curse!!!! Now I really don't know what to do...could it be the cable modem????? It's pratically the only thing I installed after win2000!!! I also thought it could be a site problem, but I receive the same error on other sites!!!
Could someone enter the damn site and tell me if there was any error???
Thanx for your help
