error iexplore.exe

[steve good]

Hi All

 

Having some trouble loading web pages I keep having to end program and the error report says error iexplore.exe szApp Ver:6.0.2900.2180.

 

Can anyone please advise me what it means and how do I fit.

 

Regards Steve

hi restart your pc it works with mine , or do a full scan disk ,

when you do this a popup will tell you windows need exclusive access to some files ,

and would you like to do this at next restart select yes then restart,

windows will then check and repair any faulty files .

good luck

Good chance it's Windows Update. I've had three PC's brought to a virtual standstill when you start IE lately, and in every case I've tracked it down to that utter **** that is Windows Update.

 

To see if that's your problem, go into Services (under Control Panel - Administrative Tools), and disable the Automatic Updates.

 

After a restart try starting IE and hopefully the problem will have gone.

 

If this is the problem, it's apparently due to a dodgy update sent out by MS a while ago. If I can find the correct KB article, I'll post the link to fix it.

 

As long as you've got ok AV and a firewall, it's best to turn off Windows Updates - they're a complete nightmare.

from a quik browse on the internet it appears to be either a toolbar or the print spooler, try removing third party tool bars and turn off print spooler from the services in administrative tools

Hi

 

Try:

 

Open "My Computer".

 

Right click the local drive (usually C:).

 

Select properties, then tools.

 

Select Error-Checking, Check Now.

 

Tick both boxes, Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

 

 

This may take a while, and you MAY need your XP installation CD.

 

 

 

Cheers

 

Ian.
