Internet Explorer - Help!!!

[Larry Truong]

Please help. I cannot load up my IE. When I try to load
it. It gives me a fatal error, i.e., "...IExplore caused a
general protection fault in module GFXDRV.DRV at
001:0006efe..." What should I do to restore it back? I have
tried reload IE 6.0 and it didn't help. Thank you in advance.

That file has to do with your video drivers... I would
try and update them first - If that doesn't work you
could try and to use a standard VGA driver then load the
video drivers again...

I have seen setting the hardware acceleration to none (or
not on full) help with these types of issues.

Display Properties/ Advanced/ Performance...

Hope this helps...

Thanks. I tried reload my graphic driver but it didn't help resolve the
problem. Still cannot start up IE.

You probably need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (Start | Settings |
Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will see
little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

Seen too many such error with GFXDRV.DRV recently.

IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.
