internet explorer

the internet explorer on my laptop wont open... i click to open it, and it starts to, but then an error mesage pops up... the message suggests restarting the computer and i've tried that several times, and i shut down and after a while rebooted but nothing...

all the message says is "we have encountered a problem and will close explorer"

is there anything i can try to fix this problem?

thanks...

 

What operating system are you running?

 

Is there a "details" button in that error message?

If so, click it, ansd please tell us what it says there.

 

Windows ME

and the message gives me the option to see the technical report...
i tried to copy it and paste it here because its so long, but i can't copy it...

 

All we're really interested in is the first line: the main error message.

Example: "Iexplore caused an invalid page fault in module Mshtml.dll".

 

the error message just says "internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close"...
then it gives me the option to send a report to microsoft and to see the details of the report...
when i open the report, it doesnt give me an error like the example u gave me, but it lists all the modules all the down, and then the memory ranges....

in the beginning of the report it says things like flags, exceptions, addresses....

 

ok, i opened it up again to see the messages i got and i got this information...

AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0

ModName: mfc42.dll

ModVer: 6.0.8665.0 Offset: 0005bf55



i hope this info is somewhat useful
