ie7 wants to shut down.

[Guest David]

Lately, ie7 has this annoying habit of popping up and saying its encountered

a problem and must close. I believe I read some time back somebody with a

similar problem but I can't remember the solution. Any ideas or am I sunk?

Re: ie7 wants to shut down.

 

Please try the IE7 group.

The recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

 

In a proper newsreader:

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

 

If you must use a web interface:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

 

If there is any more detail in the error message than you supplied

here, then please supply it when you repost.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log

to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with

assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for review

by an expert in such matters, not here.**

 

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this

isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and

independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
