DaveMan Posted July 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 24, 2005 What application is erroring out? It happens when I close my IE browser, (only sometimes, on some different sites). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted July 26, 2005 CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 Search on you HD for a file named iesetup.exe. This is the installer for IE. Run the program and select the repair option. Hopefully this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMan Posted July 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 Ok, I figured out the problem to the apllication error popups to some websites, I went to Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Manage Add-Ons, and I disabled the Goolge toolbar add-on. It solved my problem, but now I cant use my google toolbar, any other ways of doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted July 26, 2005 CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 I was being win98 centric. You can try this: BTW Never used this before so I'd try the command line first. From: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm#Reinstall Half way down the page: Reinstall or Repair IE / OE in Windows XP Try IEFix: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm Or, try the manual procedure below: First, try reinstalling from the INF files. Click Start/Run/Type the following command: rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%infie.inf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMan Posted July 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 I judt noticed that it has to do with my toolbars only, I have 2 toolbars: Google and McAfee, when I disable both of those everything works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMan Posted July 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 I checked for spy-ware earlier, I dont have any, my computer is clean. I assure you. I use Microsoft Anti-Spyware.

DaveMan Posted July 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 I tried that with the Goolge toolbar, but you cant uninstall the McAfee toolbar, it came with my AntiVirus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMan Posted July 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 Forgot to mention this too, it happens on both of my computers and they both have Windows XP Pro SP2, I'm thinking there is a glitch with google toolbars or something, the other puter has google toolbar too.

FallowEarth Posted July 26, 2005 CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 Try clearing your browser cache: -click tools, internet options -click delete cookies, click ok -click delete files, check 'delete all offline content' and click ok -click clear history Microsoft's spyware program doesn't pick up all pests. Try running THIS online scan. It usually takes about 5-10 mins, and is very thorough. Let us know if there are any files found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cak46 Posted July 26, 2005 CID Share Posted July 26, 2005 With the google toolbar, if you selected to use the advanced features, the toolbar reports info. back to google. This might be the prob with google toolbar. Not sure about the mcafee and why it would do that. SP2 doesn't like that kind of unsolicited outgoing communication..
