Internet Explorer has encountered a problem

[Van Eric Johnson]

I continuously get the message;

"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Send Error Report / Don't Send

I get this when I research things at pricewatch.com or go to pay something
on ebay or if I go to one of a
100 other sites... can't make it quit. Any ideas?

As you did not post the version of Windows or IE you are using, I can only
make a general guess. You might try the following and see if it helps:

To download the Microsoft Java VM for Windows XP from
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Go to the Windows Update Site (Start/All Programs/Windows Update/Personalize
Windows Update/Enable the Windows Update Catalog. Save Settings. Select
Windows Update Catalog from the left hand pane/Select Find updates for
Microsoft Windows systems from the right hand pane/Select Windows XP/Search.
Select Critical Updates and Service Packs.
Select the March 4th Security Update as it contains Windows XP VM.

Or you can download it from one of these locations:

http://www.download.windowsupdate.c..._CD24D109B33421DB6728FBDC80C9F572EB7A3865.exe
or
http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/systems/win95/fixes/VM/msjavx86.exe
or
ftp://ftp.uq.edu.au/mirror/microsoft/patches/winxp/javavm_3319_MIL_4275/MSJavx86.exe


If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Jan, I use Windows XP Home sp2, with IE 6. Windows Auto update is up and
running, I keep most everything current.

Hi Van

Jan, I use Windows XP Home sp2, with IE 6. Windows Auto update is up
and running, I keep most everything current.

Thank you for the system information. Here is something else you might try,
not sure it will make a difference, but, you can try it too. Please post
back with the results of the other steps as well.

Hope this helps
