Internet Explorer has stopped working

[Allan J. Behr]

I continually get notified that "Internet Expoloer has stopped
working"...some times I then get the notice that it has restarted. What is
happening. I will do this almost all the time when I try to close the
program...system then hangs some of the time.

Try resetting Internet Explorer settings, Open Control Panel > Internet
Options > Advanced (tab) > under " Reset Internet Explorer settings, click
"Reset".

 

[Michael Jennings]

Start > Help > Type in " Reinstall Internet Explorer " (without the quotes)
You'll get 60 results - start with the first - Repair Internet Explorer.
There doesn't seem to be a way, anymore, to reinstall just IE7 in Vista -
you'd have to reinstall the OS - but asking for it doubles the Help hits.

Allan J. Behr spewed out this bit, and i'll scatter a few bits myself:

It's probably an Add-on/Plug-in causing your grief. Start it with Add on's
disabled and see what you come up with.

Seems to have resolved the problem I was having. Thank you very much.

You are welcome.

There was never a way to just reinstall IE6 in Win XP--unless reinstalling
XP SP2 would have helped. There were many ways to try to repair it
including but not limited to SFC and rereging .dlls via regsvr32 and a spate
of MSKBs on IE connection/functionality problems.

I suppose it depends upon which XP you mean. The reinstall is in the KB
for XP SP1 and earlier - modify the "is installed" bit to zero:

[Chad Harris]

True in that instance, but how many people have resisted XP SP2 given it's
required now for IE7 and a number of other updates. I'd have gone with SFC
and if needed, a repair install. I have gotten some milage out of
reinstalling SP2 also. But your point is well taken.

I have same problem. See post 'Internet Explorer'. I tried all the
suggestions

 

[Brendan]

Had exactly the same problem. Turned out that the version of Omnipage SE
installed with my canon scanner had a link into IE - removing Omnipage fixed
the problem. Everything now working perfectly.

Thanks Andre. Your suggestion worked for me. Would have never figured it out.
Fortunately I also have Firefox as a second browser which permitted me to go
online, come here, and find your solution.

I've concluded it is prudent to have both browsers.

I guess by this time you have fixed it, however if you have'nt go to Control
panel, Internet options find manage add-ons and EITHER DISABLE THE ALL or if
you have time select one and disable it and then another it takes a while.

 

[Guest]

Now if you can just tell me how to erase IE6 fron my c drive!! PLEASE!!

:
As a computer novice I get frustrated every time I get sent on the never
ending search route. I agree with Roscoe, the quickest solution is to abandon
the help loops and switch to Firefox. I'll be pleased to revert to IE if
Microsoft contact me with a swift and simple solution.

Keep smiling....Jim
