3 Vista Business machines and IE8 crash on all of them

Discussion in 'Windows Vista' started by Andrew Hodgson, May 28, 2009.

  1. Hi,

    I have 3 VB machines running IE8. All worked fine until today, where
    nobody can open the IE8 app. The one XP machine in the office is
    working fine on IE8, and the Windows SBS 2008 machine we have is
    running fine on IE7. We did emergency Firefox installs, and this is
    what we are using now to do browsing.

    It looks like the program is trying to open, but just doesn't. The
    only update installed yesterday was a definition update for Windows
    defender, although since then I have installed SP2 on my machine to
    see if it cures the issue - sadly no.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Andrew.

    Not really. It's a wonder you can do anything at all with your
    psychosis........like keeping all your posting identies and accounts
    straight. That's a full time job in itself for you.

    Hi Andrew:

    Could be a problem add-on or browser helper object.

    Try this:

    Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced
    - Look for "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions"
    If there is a "check" in the box beside it, remove the check and OK your
    way out.

    If Internet Explorer works OK then one or more browser add-ons is causing
    the problem.
