Internet Explorer problem notice

There are a few ways for you to fix this. First check windows for any updates. There may be a fix in windows update service. If there is not than uninstall Internet Explorer from within Add/Remove programs if it is listed. (It may not be). (Copy your favorites folder to a floppy disk or CD-R/RW disk).
Run windows system restore back to a point internet explorer did work.
Check Microsoft for a possible fix. For XP click on this link;

Lastly, if you haven't installed SP3 do so. (SP3 can be uninstalled through control panel).

These are just a few suggestions. Internet explorer does not always include the error message before closing.

Good luck!

Run an antivirus and antispyware program. Then if nothing shows up from that, install the newest IE version. Keep in mind IE really sucks in general and I suggest using Opera or Firefox
