Error when attaching any file

J

John

Whenever I attempt to atach a file I get "Iexplorer.exe
has generated errors and is creating an error report".
naturally it fails to attach the file and then closes the
browser. I have reloaded internet explorer 6 but get the
same results. OS is windows pro 2000.

If it says iexplorer, not iexplore or explorer, you have downloaded a nasty
or visited a questionable page without adequate security settings. First
eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
