Iexplore error messages

I keep getting the error message "Iexplore has caused an error in <unknown> Iexplore will now close. If you continue to experience problems try restarting your computer. This happens only in some of the msn groups I belong to. I have used adawre and spybot, run virus checks, scandisk etc but nothing seems to work. Can any one please help?

 

What OS? What IE version?

 

IE version 6 not sure about OS

 

DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My OS is Windows ME

 

Dump all your temp files, temp internet files, and cookies.

Go to add/remove programs, select IE, and one of your options should be to run a repair. Do that.

 

when i went into control pamel, add/remove internet explorer was listed as Internet Explorer Q824145 with no option to repair, does this mean that I have a bad IE programme?

 

Try going via the start, programs, accessories, system tools, system info. Then tools, see if the option to repair is there.

 

No it isnt there

 

Internet Explorer Q824145 is an update/patch rather than the program itself. There won't be any options with that other than removal.

I really am confused by the main program not being in add/remove though. I haven't worked much with ME but I would certainly expect to see it.

If you just can't find the thing, consider removing what you have and reinstalling a fresh copy. From CD if you have it. Otherwise, download the thing and install from your PC rather than trying an over-the-internet install.
