Internet Explorer Has Stopped Working: 'Internet' Icon
Apr 1, 2008
After fighting to get rid of a Trojan horse virus, I am missing the internet browser. E-mail works OK. Clicking 'Internet' icon gets me the message 'Internet Explorer has stopped working:". I tried 'restore' but it is not working either. I get the message 'an unspecified error occurred during system restore'. I scanned with AVG and the files it scanned are clean. I have a 'restore' DVD made by the computer vendor but when I stick it in the CD drive nothing happens. The computer is a 1 year old ACER with VISTA home premium preinstalled. How do I proceed from here? I have no idea what to do.
when I click on the Internet Explorer icon it I get a window "Internet Explorer has stopped working. a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program.now when i click with the right button of the mouse,i get a window with many options and i click on option "run as administrator",then i get a window to "allow" and then the website is open and i can surf...it start happend when i uninstall "google desktop"... what i need to do to fix this?
Lately when I've tried looking at different folders and files on my hard drives I keep getting "Windows Explorer has stopped working and will restart." It's driving me nuts, I can barely do anything. Also, same thing with Internet Explorer...I'm getting real sick of Vista's shoddiness..

By now it should be obvious that, under the Vista operating system, I have Home Premium, there is a severe overall, general "has stopped working" problem.
Thus far I've experienced: "Internet Explorer has stopped working" "Windows Explorer has stopped working" "Word has stopped working" "Sherlock Holmes Nemesis (Adventure Company) has stopped working" "Outlook has stopped working" "Acid 4.0 (Sony) has stopped working" "Acid 6.0 (Sony) has stopped working" "Sound Forge (Sony) has stopped working"
Is it not obvious by now that Vista has a problem, maybe a compatability problem, with everything from Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word to third party programs which cause programs, as I mentioned, even programs made by Microsoft, to "stop working"? Is there no an overall "stopped working" patch or something that Microsoft has released by now?...............
I try to enter into this chatroom on a discussion forum I frequent I get that stupid message box that says "Internet Explorer has stopped working" it shows a litle progress bar under it and says "Windows is checking for a solution" but all it ever comes up with is another box that says "A propgram has caused this program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I had no problem entering the chat room on my other computer a Dell Inspiron E1705 but that one is now dead and I am currently using a Dell XPSm1730 running Vista Home Premium. I tried deleting my browsing history and re-downloading/installing Java but it doesn't seem to do any good.
I've been getting this error message whenever I try to delete a website or folder from my Favorites. I can click close program and my homepage comes back up. Check online for a solution does nothing. I looked at the details and realized I was running IE 7.0.6001.1800 so I downloaded IE 8, but the problem persists. Right now the only way I can make it happen is by trying to delete something in my Favorites folder, but it has just come up randomly a few times. I googled "Internet Explorer has stopped working" and got lots of pages where other users are having the same problem, suggesting various fixes, but none has worked for me so far. Hope I didn't make a mistake by downloading IE8!
When I shut down internet explorer it goes through a nonresponsive phase, shuts down and reboots. In vista problem reports just itemizes the times this happens, don't know what to look for.
and I don't get it. 'windows internet explorer has stopped working.' and then sometimes when I start it---the links are all missing. All I have is the basic IE7 with the Yahoo toolbar, latest version. The next time it happens, I will take a SS. I may have to go to FF which is not my preference. How do you get FF be the default browser for yahoo mail, for example?
I installed IE8, but when I started it a window would come up and say "Internet explorer has stopped working". I searched for a problem and all I could find was that I needed a DEP compatible version of IE8.
I have sent internet explorer from the start menu to my desktop, I also created a toolbar on my system tray as desktop, when I open the toolbar, it shows 2 internet explorer icons. I delete the desktop icon, but in the toolbar, internet explorer is still there? what can I do?,because I want internet explorer on my desktop.
After I close Internet Explorer my desktop Icon's become frozen. The tool bar and start menu work fine. I'm running Windows Vista with IE8. I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials, have used SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as my malware removal tools. I've used system restore and still having the same problem. I don't have a recovery disk, just the disk that Dell issues with it's new computers.
Windows computer (Vista)- I am a MAC person, so forgive me for being clueless. I originally thought her internet service was the problem, but after finding my laptop works there & after a lot of time on the phone, I think I know the problem- but no answer. Her internet stopped working a few days ago. They had lost electricity that same day, but everything else works- just not internet, so that may not be connected. When I go in to Net/connections Sharing Center & managing network connections- the only choice I am given is dial-up. LAN is not showing up. When I go to Device Manager, there is a yellow ! triangle- I tried deleting & rebooting, but still have th
My internet connection stopped working last night. It allows me to connect to my wireless network, but not to the internet. It keeps giving me a 169... IP address. Even if I run the comm. prompt as the admin. it wont release the IP address when I type ipconfig/release. I've tried turning off and unplugging everything from the router. I have also done a sytem restore which did nothing. My ISP doesn't know what to do and Dell wants to charge me a ton of money.
I'm having trouble connecting to the internet, i called support center for my internet connection (roadrunner) they said that the ip address i have is no good,, it was working properly then all of a sudden it just stopped working the ip address that I have is 10.0.0.4 and I was told that i can't connect with that ip address, but since there is no internet connection they can't get into my system i don't really know about computers so what should i do? the netgear shows connection but the internet will not connect to the main computer (windows xp). computer that is not working has vista.
my firefox & IE have suddenly stopped working (blank page; "website found; waiting for reply" on IE and "waiting for xxxxx.com" on firefox). literally. one minute they were working, the next minute they weren't. i didn't do anything special in between. not even a reboot. now, it's only IE and firefox; messenger still works and so does skype and some other internet apps. i can even ping yahoo.com from cmd.
- i've tried rebooting, no help. - I've tried reinstalling firefox, no help. - i've tried switching from wired connection to wireless; no help - i've tried disabling firewall; no help. - i've run anti-virus (nod32) and anti-malware; no help - It's not the router or ISP, because my laptop works fine.................
I have shortcuts to web pages on my desktop. They recently stopped working. When I click one, the arrow changes to a blue spinning circle and nothing else happens. If I click the IE icon, it opens and functions normally. I have Vista Home Basic and IE7. I ran Windows Update. It installed a bunch of updates, including IE8. But the problem remains.
I've described my problem in the attachment. I rarely use Internet Explorer so can't be sure that it died with the installation of the new motherboard drivers but it seems likely. Odd, though, that I can still use IE on Win7 (I'm 'dual boot' at the moment).
I've done a Vista System Restore but to no avail. how to revive IE to Vista and cure that strange bug on the Context Menu (when right clicking on Start Menu and Desktop icons)?

Every time I shut down the internet I get a message stating internet has stopped working this is very annoying. Does anyone have any idea how to correct this?
My computer must be infected. New Internet pages starts up continuously with advertizing and in particular urging me to download and install ???AntiSpywareSuite???. Warning windows with the text ???Windows Internet Explorer??? at the top of frame, also pop ups asking me: Do you want to install AntiSpywareSuite to scan your PC for malware now? (Recommended) I already have Microsoft malware and spyware protection running along with the latest Symantec antivirus suite. I have also run Lavasoft???s Ad Aware and removed all cookies and removed the latest programs that I have installed, but nothing has helped. I am running Vista Business.
My computer automatically downloaded Internet Explorer 8 last week. So far I am not impressed! I have found that it does not load some sites (eg. Facebook and sometimes Google), or takes an age for it to load them up. Sometimes when IE8 is loading up iteslf, it goes to a page saying 'Internet Connection Problem" or something in the top left corner. I wonder if there is a new download patch (is that what it is called?!) or something that can resolve this problem, or some way that I can revert to Internet Explorer 7?
Cannot run Internet explorer, win vista ultimate sp1, live messenger, and other programs. Most time I got windows pop up message, "windows stop working""
I've been reading the Threads here and on other Forums with regards to the IE issue of it stopping working on Vista. I've tried all the suggestions I have found to date (including uninstalling OneNote, repairing registry issues etc etc) and I still can't get the damn thing to work. Every time it loads I get the message saying Internet Explorer has stopped working. I normally use Firefox, but have to be able to test websites in IE so must get it working.
I recently bought a new laptop with Windows Vista in it and I am a user of Myspace. I am having issues when I go to certain pages on myspace the pages are not fully loading or I can not see all of the content on the page. I have been thru this entire computer and settings and such and still can not figure out why I can not see all the content on the pages.
