explorer error

Recommended Posts


I just installed win xp on a new hard drive and I just got my new drivers on a disk for my nvidia geforce3 card and it works great.

The problem error pops up at any time when Im on the net. It poped up 3 times when I tryed to post this message, same error.it says "internet explorer has to close because of a error in explorer" Its IE6 with the sucurity updates so I really dont know what to do.. Oh yea, no sound card installed yet.

There's no repair option for IE6 in XP unfortunately. Lame of MS.

Instead, run the command prompt and:

sfc /scannow

should replace any dodgy files causing it to crash.

Oh yes there is

open the browser

Tool/InternetOptions/Programs - Reset Browser (look out for home page)

Erm, that only resets to the default home page and default search engine. I don't see how this repairs IE and replaces all the files (with good versions) that IE relies on?

That it resets, yup, but if you look carefully, the homepage is

the least of the resets, that's why it asks if you want to reset it

you can chose no. but that doesn't stop resetting IE.

That's why it's under program/reset and not under the main page for the home page selection.

What would be the use to have a program reset that only resets a url address?

continuation from previous.

if repairing IE is what you have in mind, I don't believe there is

any option under windows, the only real one is the ugliest one

(yup, fdisk, yikes)

I don't even believe that sfc is up to this job, sfc will look into

windows own files not IE. and even repairing with the install disk will not do the trick (being there done that, reformatted rite after)
