Internet Explorer Error

Hello all,

Please help I have an annoying fault that keeps causing Explorer 6 to shut down?
I posted this a while ago, someone said re-install internet explorer. Does anyone know how to do this. I have tried everything, including the Microsoft site and just cant do it!


Most web pages are fine, but if I go onto say Airliners.Net, it will come up with a fault saying explorer has to close - no explantion.


PLEASE HELP

There's an IE download list at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...ads/Top10.mspx

Slightly ambiguous because when you select 'Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1', there's a line on the download page which reads: "Internet Explorer 6 SP1, the latest version of Internet Explorer for users not running Windows XP" yet two other lines suggest that this version IS for XP.

If you upgraded to IE6 you could uninstall the current copy by going: START-SETTINGS-CONTROL PANEL-ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS and select it for uninstallation and then re-install.

If your PC came with IE6 it should be on the Recovery Disc which came with the PC and you may be able to use that for uninstall/reinstall. (Be careful you don't reinstall the Operating System)

You could try running a virus scan and also download and run Spybot-Search & destroy.

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I will come up with another fix.

Let one slightly rephrase the title of the post

Internet Explorer = Error

Then download Firefox or Opera

WS - first try 'remove' programmes for IE6 and select the 'repair' option.

Do a check for any spyware that might be on your computer. There are lots of free programs to check your computer.
