Getting Explorer Error

I am using a Gateway Laptop Computer running Windows 98SE.

Lately I have been getting error messages such as:
:Explorer
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Contact Program Vendor.

I have scanned and defragged Hard Drive and cleaned off may old programs and still get the error.

Does anyone know what I should do next:

Thanks for the help.

When this happens click on the details tab and post the details of the error.

 

OK, I just got the error message again. Here is what the details say:

EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0187:bff8ac13.

Is this enough or do you want more?
There is still some more numbers.

I would like to add one more thing. When I say OK, the computer doesn't hang up or shut down. I seem to be able to work on other applications.

Thanks, it seemed to work. I haven't been getting that error for the past few days.
