No Explanation Required …

One error message has appeared a couple of times on my Windows 98 computer. The screen goes blank for about 20 seconds, and not even CTRL+ALT+DEL seems to work, suddenly it show a white box in the middle of the screen, and it doesn’t even have a title bar! The message says: "Error loading EXPLORER.EXE. You need to reinstall Windows." It shows an OK button, but nothing happens when I click it. Then I just reboot, and everything works fine.

By the way, please don't publish my email address.

And the reason there is no image should be obvious, right?  Of course, a more accurate message might be: “You need to uninstall Windows” but that’s probably too much candor to expect.
