IE6 runtime error

It just happened recently when I visited some sites, the error was:

Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library:

runtime error

Program: C:\Progra~1\IE\iexplorer.exe

Abnormal program termination


It was not the sites.

 

Try:-

1) Disabling any ad-blocking/popup stopping utilities;

2) Run the IE Repair Tool (Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs - MS Internet Explorer (double click this entry) - Repair);

3) Run SFC (click Start - Run - type "SFC" (without the quotes); and

4) As a last resort, dowload and (over)install MS Virtual Machine.

 

re: runtime error

Sorry, Brett. I did all but the last suggested tip and it did not help. Besides, I also did the following:

1. defragmented the drive

2. scanned it

3. remove some softwares I installed recently

4. reinstalled all the components of IE6

5. Installed Visual C++ 6.0

6. Cleaned up the drived

7. Ran Norton Antivirus. One problem: Norton asked the booting record has changed, do I want to move back to the old record( fi I have made no changed to it ), I selected "no change" because I wasn't sure and be on the safe side. Any how, no virus.

 

problem solved

Brett. You were right. I had two jdk(1.3 and 1.4). Somehow it mixed things up. And when I uninstalled both and reinstalled js2sdk1.4, the problem is solved. Thank you very much.

I hadn't thought about java because the Sun demo applets( for jdk 1.3) worked.

 

Bluesky, It sounds like a programming error in IE6. I'm sure M$ would be delighted to hear about it and will no doubt respond immediately with a patch for you. Maybe even a free upgrade.

But seriously, if you can pinpoint the cause of the error and report it it will help. At least you'll know what to avoid.

The short term cure is , go back to IE 5.5

 

Bluesky,

Thanks for posting the result.
