I have read all the threads about people having this problem, as I am, but none of them seem to apply to me, so here goes
Win98SE, IE6.
I was having a problem with a baseball scoreboard page hanging, and it's Java based, and after trying a lot of things, I had the brilliant idea that maybe I had conflicting plugins or something. It was late. Anyway, using the program TweakIE, I deleted all my browser plugins(downloaded program files). Since then I get the "IE has encountered a problem and must shut down" message every time I go to a page that uses Flash and of course the only option is to let it shut down . What's more, after that, I go back into TweakIE and see that there are two program files listed : 1. swflash.inf, and 2. <unknown>. As long as these two program files are listed, my browser will crash at any site, whether it uses Flash or not. When I go back into TweakIE and delete the two files, my browser only crashes after once again attempting to install flash. I have tried to go to macromedia's site and reinstall Flash from there, but the problem still occurs. I'm thinking maybe I deleted a plugin that came with IE6.0 and was wondering if 1., that is possibly true, and 2. can I redownload IE6.0 and reinstall it? I've tried the 'repair' thing to no avail. I have MSN and the same problem occurs with that browser, and have reinstalled MSN and Messenger, but that doesn't fix it either. If anybody has any ideas I'd like to hear them. I don't believe it's a spyware problem because I regularly run the two spyware programs and because I can pinpoint the beginning of the problems right down to the minute I deleted all my downloaded program files. Thanks.
