Hi all,
I have IE6/SP1 installed on a W2K/SP4 machine and IE has just stopped working for some reason. When you start IE iexplore.exe briefly appears in task manager and then disappears. No error messages appear on the screen or in the event log.
Ad-Aware can find no browser hijacks or any other nasties and Symantec can find no viruses.
I've reinstalled IE by running ie6setup.exe but it has not fixed the problem.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to get IE working again?
Thanks in advance.
Greg
