Hi
Just wanted to let you know that we have noticed this problem ever since
Microsoft did their last update about a week or so ago. All our PC's are
having the same problem with IE saying it has encountered a problem and
needs
to close (send/don't send report). I would advise sending the error
report
since Microsoft cannot know of problems like this unless a lot of people
suddenly report it back to them. Its very frustrating since it has
happened
to us a number of times in the middle of trying to pay for stuff online
at
the point when we think the transaction has gone through - but in fact it
hasn't!
Microsoft - get your act together!

Hi,
Are you current on updates for IE and Windows? Several months ago a
faulty
update was causing this problem. That was quickly corrected with a
revised
update.

This might indicate a corrupted History folder. First, clear the IE
history.
Next, if necessary, delete the History folder. A new one will be
created on
restart.
The procedure [Windows XP]
Login as another user with administrator privileges, or from the
machine's
default administrator account (startup in safe mode.) Make sure that
you can
see hidden and system files (Folder Options> View) then delete the
affected
History folder from Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and
Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\History] Restart the computer.

Try disabling add-ons (IE> Tools> Manage add-ons.) One of them might
be
causing this.

Or, this might be a malware problem (adware, spyware, hijackers,
etc.)

I am using IE 6 with Windows XP professional. When I type a web
address
into
the address bar the page loads and then I get this error message:
"Internet
Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
sorry for
the
inconvenience." When I select the link from my favorite list it
loads with
no
problem. How do I avoid losing all of my windows when I need to
type in
an
address that I do not have saved as a favorite?
