jmackc Posted June 28, 2005 CID Share Posted June 28, 2005 Is there a solution to the problem "internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close ..... so sorry ........."? I have tried all the MS suggestions but nothing works. I have no BHO's other than Google. I use some sites that will not function with Firefox, so that is not a solution. I have run Ad-Aware and SpyBot and they show no problems. My OS is XP Sp2 with all the current updates. This happens several times per day, normally when I have more than one site open. Thanks for any suggestions as this is irritating ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted June 28, 2005 CID Share Posted June 28, 2005 Welcome to the forum, jmackc. You can try to reinstall over the old version. Actually, I think there is a repair option available when you go to start>settings>controlpanel>add/remove programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted June 28, 2005 CID Share Posted June 28, 2005 http://www.theeldergeek.com/repair_ie6.htm Sadly, IE is one of the hardest to repair/reinstall (it will work sometimes and then not work) this is the problem with being deeply integrated with the OS.

raptors892004 Posted July 31, 2005 CID Share Posted July 31, 2005 Like people before said, go into Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs. What they didn't mention was that you should click on remove Internet Explorer and after that on Repair. It will ask you to reboot, but I am not entirely sure if that will help your problem with SP2.. If IE worked fine when you installed it with SP2 for the first time, then it will probably be fixed after the repair, because it reads off the msi or cab file that you used to install it the first time ..
