IE crapping out

Maarchk · 08-20-2007, 10:43 AM

So IE is hating. Its version 6.0 with updates. It says memory error '0x0234efa' at memory location '0x0000000' terminate or debug. and both crash out the program. I tried running updates and uninstalling other crap.
Hmm should i just try to reinstall IE? I have fire fox but certain websites i work with require i use IE. Is it most likely software?

Any thoughts are helpful.

Thanks,

Mark

What OS?

If you have XP, go to IE7...

For any Windows, try Dial-a-Fix from http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Also, do a good, thorough malware scan.

The problem with IE is that many parts of it is integral to Windows (in layman's terms, more complicated than that).

IE7 can be run stand-alone. If your IE is trashed, it's more than likely something in Windows is corrupt, hijacked, modified, etc.

(WARNING: F-secure antivirus will lock up your computer if you have AdAware installed, and says so in the FAQ! I speak from experience lol)

Good luck - most often a "fix" is reinstallation of Windows, but it works!

Get the Firefox add-on ie.tab from Mozilla.org.
It emulates IE for those sites that need IE.
