xpe with internet explorer problem

[mark]

I have built a xpe system with internet explorer and ewf. When ewf is
enabled, ie will work for the first few web page, then ie will stop working.
If ewf is diabled, ie will work with no problem. Anybody can help me with
the problem. Thanks.

by the way, ewf configuration: disk C: with overlay 2 Gigabytes.

mark,

I don't see any connections between EWF and IE.
The only caveat could be if your EWF overlay was getting overflowed by the
IE temp file cache. But you did not mention any "Delay Write Error" messages
and you did mention pretty big (Disk?) overlay size. So I don't that was the
case.

How exactly IE stops working? What symptoms?

I can browse the first few pages with no problem. Then the system will pop
up a message showing "write 000000adress error". After the above message
showed up, the IE can not browse any homepage (no more page can be opened).
I do not see "Delay write error" messages on the system. The total disk is
40 G. I use 10 G for XPE image and use 2 G for disk overlay.
Do you have any idea? thanks.

Hi Mark,

IE has no connections what so ever with EWF and in your case all should work.
But since it does not can you tell us what EWF QFE are you using?

Best regards,
Slobodan

I am using EWF NTLDR-Q832662 and Enhanced Write Filter-Q823025. Any idea?
Thanks

mark,

Let's finish with the EWF. Can you disable it, reboot and try IE again?
That would tell you if EWF is the root of the problem.

If it is, we can work in this direction:
- anylize FBALog and SetupApi errors
- see EWF QFEs
- repot the bug to MS.

If it is not, better move on and check IE stack implemented in your image.
- check FBALog for IE related errors
- run and monitor with Regmon/Filemon to see what's going on when your
browse with IE

And there is always KD that may show some good info when errors pop-up (it
may not, however).

KM:

When I disabled the EWF, the IE works fine. I will follow you direction. If
I get any luck with this problem, I will post on the group. Thank you and
Slobodan.
