[Dan]

I keep getting this error even when explorer is not
running. "Iexplore.exe has encountered a problem and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It
then closes whatever I was doing. Any way to stop this.
I'm runnuing XP and have all the latest updates for XP
and explorer.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you. I'm responding to

let you know that I've been having the same problem for
the past couple of months. I'll either open IE or
Windows Messenger and after less than a minute, maybe,
I'll get thr error message. It'll also happen again if
I've been away from computer for a while and I come out
of standby. I've had a couple of different Error
Signature listings w/ Mod Name/Version and Offset values
varying (I don't know if it's significant, but a
recurring Mod Name has been "me2.dll").
Hope someone has an answer.
