G'Day, I'm experiencing apparent random IE crashes (iexplore.exe 6.0.2800.1106 and mshtml.dll 6.0.2800.1555). To investigate if mixed file versions are the cause, I'm looking for someone who is running this setup (fully updated) and problem free to provide their IE file list per:

Start>Programs>Accesories>System Tools>System Information>Internet Explorer>File Versions

Thanks in advance... Ryton.

I haven't had any problems like that, but I rarely use Internet Explorer. Do these crashes happen after IE6 has been in use for a long time? IE6 has a way of depleting resources when it's used for a long period of time. When IE6 is running, what does the Resource Meter (C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools) show is available? Are the index.dat files getting large? Are there any sites, combinations of software in use, or other circumstances that seem to trigger the crashes? Try leaving the resource meter running while you use IE6 and see if the problem is resource related.

OT. Internet Explorer is the biggest security risk and the cause of many of the stability problems people have with Win98. It's very out of date and inferior to most other browsers. SeaMonkey and K-Meleon are both good browsers for 98 systems, especially if you're using the original hardware.

There's a few differences but most of the IE file versions on my system are the same.

For the sake of it, here's my list.

<removed win.com remarks; it's just certain info unavailable, not the file itself>

iexplore.exe is indeed not present because it's been renamed due to the bad habit of certain applications - not to mention malware, although I got none present - to directly call iexplore.exe instead of the default browser (SlimBrowser)

msjava.dll is missing because I've uninstalled MS Java Virtual Machine.

Dunno why wsock32n.dll is missing - probably it's not needed in my configuration.

IE-related crashes are extremely rare on my system and usually happen due to other applications running prior to or simultaneously with the browser.

Hi Herbalist, thanks for your list! When the crashes occur, it apprears to be independent of resources (At the moment, with IE and OE running, resources are 73/75/73). I routinely delete the dat files with CCleaner. Certain sites are a possibility, although it would be random, but I have not yet made any connection (I do not revisit the same sites that often). I typically only have IE/OE plus required startup programs running when I'm surfing (Startup: Avast AV, Sygate Firewall, Microsoft USB Mouse Driver). I used Spyware Doctor for some time but had to remove it for stability reasons. Now I use Spyware Terminator and Spybot for weekly scans. The problem occurred with SD and continues today.

With regards to my IE file list, mshtml.dll should read ver. 1555. I tried the 1106 version for a couple of days and thought the problem was resolved but it turned out to be only wishful thinking. I also just noticed that I had two copies of the same version of iexplore.exe with different time stamps (???). I deleted the one that differed from your setup and we'll see if it helps. I would really like to test your mshtml.dll version 1528 (Appears like you didn't apply Update 916281). Could you provide it? Thanks again!

I haven't had any problems like that, but I rarely use Internet Explorer. Do these crashes happen after IE6 has been in use for a long time? IE6 has a way of depleting resources when it's used for a long period of time. When IE6 is running, what does the Resource Meter (C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools) show is available? Are the index.dat files getting large? Are there any sites, combinations of software in use, or other circumstances that seem to trigger the crashes? Try leaving the resource meter running while you use IE6 and see if the problem is resource related.

Hi Drugwash, thanks for your list, unfortunately, its for SE not FE.

For the sake of it, here's my list.

<removed win.com remarks; it's just certain info unavailable, not the file itself>

iexplore.exe is indeed not present because it's been renamed due to the bad habit of certain applications - not to mention malware, although I got none present - to directly call iexplore.exe instead of the default browser (SlimBrowser)

msjava.dll is missing because I've uninstalled MS Java Virtual Machine.

Dunno why wsock32n.dll is missing - probably it's not needed in my configuration.

IE-related crashes are extremely rare on my system and usually happen due to other applications running prior to or simultaneously with the browser.

IE6SP1 is not OS-dependent (re WinFE vs WinSE) except that it will not run on older OS (eg Win95, NT4, others).

Bear in mind IE6SP1 is an upgrade to the IE of the installed OS (whatever version), so this problem may or may not be related to IE, or even the OS, or it could even be both.

To confirm the IE6SP1, list the contents of the downloaded package (is that what the list is?). Some updates to the OS may relate to the IE. FWIW, you may even try to get the latest IE6 package (complete) and try re-installing.

The other guys know what they're doing/saying, so I'm outta here!

edit - Drugwash, is my above stmt re OS-dependency incorrect? A complete reinstall worth a shot?

I'm not entirely sure about OS dependency. AFAICS, the SysInfo tool lists certain non-IE files (such as win.com, for example), so there may be an interdependency there somewhere.

However, I don't see any 98FE / 98SE separation within the IE-SP1 cabs; there's only ME/NT/2k separation, so it may be safe to assume that the same files would be installed for both 98FE and 98SE. Other than that, the installed hotfixes could also make a difference.

Regardless, the interaction between IE files and OS-specific files may have different outcome.

Ah, apologies for the confusion - I completely overlooked the FE specification. :blushing:

Hi Drugwash, we're all human... As my problem is an exception between "iexplore.exe ver. 1106 and mshtml.dll ver. 1555" on a fully updated Win98 FE box, I did find it interesting that your SE mshtml.dll was at ver. 1607. OS dependent or other?

Has this problem always been there or is it fairly recent? If the problem isn't a version conflict or resource related, I'd also suspect an interaction with something else that's running. Avast would be the first item I'd check. With the few that still work, 9X support is pretty much an afterthought. It's entirely possible that an AV update could be part of the problem. It's been years since I've run an AV and only tried Avast once, many years back. It didn't work well on my system.

I also just noticed that I had two copies of the same version of iexplore.exe with different time stamps (???). I deleted the one that differed from your setup and we'll see if it helps. I would really like to test your mshtml.dll version 1528 (Appears like you didn't apply Update 916281). Could you provide it? Thanks again!

Where were these iexplore copies at? Were they renamed or the file extensions changed? It's also possible that IE might have been compromised by something. The best way to check if a file has been altered is to compare the checksums of the files. On mine, the MD5 for IExplore.exe is eb9eaf627f705525d01de5fa07ea1818.

Hi Rick, thanks for everything thus far! I'm guessing but it started about 2 mths ago. I've used Avast for a number of years now and cannot relate this problem to an update, however, it's possible as the problem's frequency can be very low. I can go for days or just hours without an issue making troubleshooting difficult. With regards to the iexplore.exe files, one was identical to yours while the other was in the system directory looking identical except for its time stamp. Like you I thought it could have been malware so I deleted it and also extracted a new copy in the IE directory. Since then, I've been crash free but it could take more than a week to know for sure. Here's hoping...

Honestly, I don't know. So many updates, hotfixes and whatnot on my system and I got a bad memory. You can however check MDGx's page, see which package(s) contain that file and then try to find that particular version by extracting the file from the package(s) and checking version.

It's also possible that certain web pages contain incompatible code. Some have been updated to follow IE8 and may cause trouble in IE6. I've had consistent crashes on a certain site no earlier than yesterday, with SlimBrowser (my default IE-based browser), something new to me.

FWIW, agreeing with Drugwash on the "incompatible web pages". I have noticed the same thing. Not sure why (finally coming into compliance?). Firefox seems to be ok (always tried to be compliant?).

Since older Windows are being "dropped", the IE6 might continue to work, but try to find an alternative browser that still supports the older OS'...
