IE has encountered a problem......
« on: July 06, 2007, 09:16:26 AM »
Win 98SE o/s, all critical updates installed. Using NOD32 a/v, also Spybot,  Adaware, and Win Patrol for malware/spyware removal. Lately, I have been getting quite a number of the "IE has encountered a problem and needs to close" messages. I opt not to send the report to MS, since they don't support it anymore. I'm wondering what would cause this. I have not installed any new software or hardware. If I look at the problem description, it generally involves the dreaded kernel 32, lol. Any suggestions?? BTW, I would prefer to continue using IE as opposed to going to another browser.

If I don't reply, I'm probably out returning videotapes.

I've noticed this happening at random times, but among them, is when I open an email with attachments. However, it may happen when changing websites (surfing) etc. It's the random-ness that is perplexing. Can't really pin it down to one specific activity that causes it. The next time it happens, I'll jot down the details and include them in a post here.
