IE Shutdown Big Problem

Well here goes with my first post hello you all!
I have recently installed IE 8, yes foolish I hear you cry but what the Hell life's too short not t have problems with Microsoft. Was it MS DOS 3.4 that was the last system that worked "out of the box"? or has time given me "Rose tinted Specs"? While its running its fine but and there had to be a but twill not shut own. When you close Web site or shut down the whole application it Bitches about a C++ runtime error in the application file explorer.exe. It then attempts to recover from the error by restarting giving me the option of going to the home page or resuming the last session. I have so far Reset, reinstalled, removed all add ons and pulled out a shed load of hair. If any one can help please do so if not I will reinstall IE 7 and join the anti progress division of the English league of Luddites. I am running Vista 32 bit, Office for Windows 2007 and Serif WebPlusX2 and all the usual stuff.
Regards All

I don't know if this will work for you, but it worked (and continues to work) nicely for me.

Go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and download and install the "User Profile Hive Cleanup Service" (UPHClean-Setup.msi).

Here is part of MS's description:
"The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are completely terminated when a user logs off. System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off. In those cases the user session is prevented from completely ending."

Thanks Frank I will defiantly give it a try and let you know. After that I think I need to get on with life and start earning some bread, so I will uninstall IE 8 ad either go back to IE7 or start using Firefox or some such esoteric browser.

Bad news is Frank that the updated version of UPH Clean for 32 bit opperating systems, states in its readme that Vista does its thing without this UPH Clean. I tried it any way and unfortunatly no joy. So its back to IE 7 and a big thanks to Frank d and PeteC for the interest shown.

My apologies, I didn't realize you were using Vista. I'm using WinXP, so different playing field.

Also, FWIW, I switched to Firefox a couple of years ago and love it, mainly because of all the add-ons available. Still use IE6 as the backup browser when needed (just because it's there).

Good luck!

Frank
