I Need Help!!!!

[BigToe]

I have XP and use Internet Explorer (yeah I am lazy and its what came on the computer). Anyway, I keep getting that error that asks if I want to send in the error report or not. And this wouldn't bother me, but it happens every two minutes or more often.

So I deleted IE from the hard drive and then reinstalled it from the XP disk thinking that might fix it. But its still giving me problems. Can anyone help me? Should I try a different browser? Someone fix this!!!!

Happens to me all the time. Not just with IE though. Sorry, can't help you.

Have you downloaded the updates? If not, you should, even if it takes a few hours with a 56k dial up!

I don't think there's enough info here to give a qualified response. When does it do it? On what sites? Where? What system specs do you have? What is the error message? Which module? Etc.

 

[BigToe]

I have the updates yes.

HAHA It happens randomly. Anytime I try to change sites, if I click a button on the one I am on, if the computer thinks I have been there too long (like more than 30 seconds heh) it happens all the time, and I haven't found any site that it doesn't happen with.

The rest of my computer works just fine. I just installed msn explorer so I can at least check my email and it hasn't happened once with this browser. It only happens with Internet Explorer.

I don't know anything about computers, so you are gonna have to ask questions in laymans terms.... sorry

I used to get that all the time and now I don't get it that often... weird. I don't know what happened. About the only message I usually get now is with Outlook, which is missing a DLL file...

Namaste all,

what this is called is a "work around" however, the underlying problem still remains and has not been resolved by disabling the automatic reporting.

however, the information provided is not sufficient to properly diagnose the issue. often, however, the work around will suffice...

[BigToe]

well what more information do you need? i mean MSN worked just fine with no error reports. its only IE. so there is something wrong with IE. and it remained a problem after i deleted IE and then reinstalled it from the XP disk

 

[SirKenin]

Did you try igniting a pipe bomb under your computer?

"properly diagnose the issue"
...unless you're a windows guru you can't. This error is designed for Microsoft to help them reduce the number of bugs, not for the end user to attempt a fix.

In fact there's no way to tell exactly what the error is in the first place except that you know that one has happened...well you can tell, but it's not worth the hassle...but you're welcome to try!

ah, well fortunatly for me, i happen to be a windows guru (though that term isn't really appropos) i'm what is known as a Microsoft MVP.

in any case, depending on what's happening with the machine there will be several diagnostic processes that can be run to tell you percisely what is going on.

generally speaking, if you have an application, such as IE, simply shut down, it will produce a thing called a user.dmp and a Dr.Watson log file. Of course, this is predicated on which OS you are running and how you've configured it. there is another file that can be generated, called a memory.dmp, however that would typically cause the machine to reboot should that type of error occur. it's known as a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).

Blanton.. so, you're running WinXP, home or Pro? After you've installed the IE from the disk are you checking for and applying the updates to the software? If not, that may resolve the issue straight away for you. Also, you should ensure that you have installed the lastest Operating System Service Pack on your machine. You can find these updates off the Micro$oft site: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

I'm making some broad assumptions here... such as, you don't have a subscription to TechNet and so forth.

 

[BigToe]

XP Pro, yes I have all the updates for IE and service packs and stuff. I am addicted to checking for updates incase there is something my computer has to have to avoid getting sick heh
