Internt Explorer with unknown error

[Guest]

I just recently updated to IE 6 and since then its been nothing but problems.
I've never had pop ups before and all of a sudden they are everywhere.
I can live with popups though. The real issue is when I try to connect to
certain websites such as hotmail.com a box comes up that says "An Error has
occurred in Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer will now close. If you
continue to experience problems please restart your computer."
Well- after many restarts, that is obviously not fixing the issue. This
message doesn't come up at all websites, just certain ones. There is no
error number attached to this message-- what can I do?!

I'm also having this problem - does your error match this
error: "EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module MSVCRT.DLL at 017f:780154a7." Note the file,
MSVCRT.DLL - is yours the same or different??

I am having that same error message, except mine is mcvcrt.dll at
6.0.2800.1106. It has been going on since the beginning of september. I'm
just about to tear my hair out. I have downloaded so many virus and fix-it
scans, but nothing is helping. Some days are just better than others.

Hi sjep

Try the following and see if it will help. If not, then please start a new
thread of your own stating what you have tried, the exact wording of any
error messages, and the version of Windows you are running. It will be
easier for us all to follow that way, and we'll try to help you further to
resolve your problem from there.

MSCVRT.DLL Problems - Missing File:

What this message usually means is that this file is damaged or corrupted
in some way. You could try downloading and replacing this file again from
here which will normally fix this problem
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/d...es.shtml?msvcrt

To replace the file do the following:

NOTE: before doing any of this, you must have a file extraction program
(such as "WinZip" or "WinRar") AND you must have the "Hide file extensions
for known file types" turned OFF. Here is how to do this:
1) Open Windows Explorer, click on Tools, click on "Folder Options...".
2) in the "Folder Options" window, click on the "View" tab at the top.
3) click on the "Show hidden files and folder", or "Show all files" button
so that all hidden and system files are visible.
4) make sure "Hide file extensions for known file types" is UNCHECKED.

Then......

1) download the replacement MSVCRT.DLL file to a folder somewhere on your
computer (or to the desktop).
2) Extract the file using something like WinZip or WinRar.
3) Rename the file by "Right clicking" on it and selecting "Rename", rename
it to "msvcrt.new".
4) Cut and Paste the "msvcrt.new" file into your "C:\Windows\System" folder,
(simply "Right Click" the "msvcrt.new" file and select "Cut", then open an
Explorer window or just any file window, and at the top where it says
"Address" type "C:\Windows\System", then just "Right Click" in the File area
and select "Paste")
5) (This part is gonna take timing) now restart your computer, and as soon
as the "Shut Down" screen goes away keep pressing the "F8" and/or "Ctrl"
keys repeatedly as fast as you can untill the "Selective startup menu"
appears. (you'll know this menu because it will be a black and white text
menu with about 5 options, one of which will be "Command Prompt only" or
something like that.)
6) from the selective startup menu, select command prompt only, this will
bring you to the old MS-Dos prompt.
7) Type "cd windows\system" and hit "Enter".
8) Type "ren msvcrt.dll msvcrt.old" and hit "Enter".
9) Type "ren msvcrt.new msvcrt.dll" and hit "Enter".
10) Restart your computer either with the "Reset" button or the
"Ctrl-Alt-Del" method. This should reset your system and have resolved the
problem.

If the above does not resolve the issue, you might also try the following
and see if the information here will help

Here is information on this Library:
http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/software/runtime.html
Scroll down toward the bottom of the page and it will explain what this is
and offer downloads for updates.

Go to the M's and find the mscvrt.dll file

Hi johnsonfh2

Sorry to have left you out here...... )

You may have malware, spyware or parasites on your system causing this
problem. This kind of popup invasion is sometimes an indication of these
types of warez. Thus, in addition to running your updated anti-virus
program, you should do the following to be sure none of these are present on
your system. Although you may have already run one or more of the programs,
please do so again according to the instructions below. Some variants of
malware can replicate themselves over and over if not removed properly.
Please follow all instructions carefully to be sure your system is
thoroughly cleaned:

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Be sure to run CWShredder, Ad-aware and Spybot.
Also be sure to use the About:Buster here
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4289.html
http://www.atribune.org/downloads/AboutBuster.zip
and the HijackThis. Please do not post your log to this
newsgroup, but to the SpywareInfo or the Aumha HiJackThis forums
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30, to allow the experts there to
evaluate your log and advise you of the necessary steps to clean your
system.

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs
below, download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Also, get a copy of WINSOCKXPFIX available at:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
and
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP

(NOTE: It is reported that in XP SP2, the command netsh winsock reset
will fix this problem without the need for these programs.)

Download Sysclean.com, from Trend Micro, here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp along with the latest pattern
file, here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
Be sure to read the "How-to" info here:
http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/tsc/readme.txt
You might also want to get Art's updater, SYS-UP.Zip, here for future
updating of these: http://home.epix.net/~artnpeg/.
(If you download and use the updater from the beginning, it will
automatically handle downloading the other files. Place them in a dedicated
folder after appropriate unzipping, and then run. This scan may take a long
time, as Sysclean is VERY extensive and thorough

and......

NOTE: If you can not download these programs from the Internet, if your PC
has CD read capabilities, go to another computer with CD-ROM burning
capabilities. Create a folder on the hard drive of the other computer called
HOLD, download the programs to that folder, then burn that folder to a CD.
Copy the HOLD folder to your HD and then install the programs from there
and run them. After you have IE access again, update all programs where
possible to get the latest definitions and run them again in Safe Mode to be
sure there are no lingering items on the system.

!Hi Jan-
just putting in there to see if you have any suggestions for my problem?
Once again, there is no error message number with the box that pops up on my
computer. Thank you !

Here's a reply about the error message you probably are seeing.
In your case you haven't gone into its details at all yet.

<excerpt>
Please give a better description of your error message.
Are you getting an Error Message window as depicted here:

<title>KB276550 - Description and Availability of Internet Explorer Error Reporting Tool</title>

If so you may have gone too far into that message's details.
Use its <click here> link, but once there just capture the text
under the Error Signature. Drag the text with your mouse
and press Ctrl-c to copy it to the Clipboard.

If you are not getting that message perhaps you should try
enabling Error Reporting (e.g. do the reverse of the procedure
given in that article for disabling it--essentially just give that
IEWatsonEnabled DWORD a value of 1 or just delete it and
it default to that). Otherwise you may want to try reposting in a
newsgroup which specializes in your OS in case they are more
familiar with whatever it is that you are seeing.
