IE 32 Bit Keeps Crashing On 64 Bit Machine - Downloaded All Updates
Dec 14, 2004
i put together an amd 64 bit opteron pc with an asus sk8n motherboard. i installed xp pro. Everthing is working fine except IE keeps crashing and asks if i want to send an error report to microsoft and then closes. Does anyone know what is causing explorer to keep crashing? It is only internet explorer, everything else is working fine. I'm not sure where to go from here. I downloaded all the windows updates. I still keep crashing though.

Where do the XP updates (auto) go when they're downloaded ?
My PC told me there were some updates ready but when I was downloading them I had a power cut....
now it still says there are updates ready but it zips past the download stage (having recognised the files already exist) and goes straight into the installing stage but it always fails.
I suspect my original download has been corrupted by the power cut. I need to know where these downloaded updates get stored, so I can delete the file and start again.

I reinstalled everything and downloaded all the updates. Yesterday I noticed the screensaver wasn't working. I ran ad-awarer and there were 14 objects that read "possible browser hijacking". When I tried to delete them the PC crashes. What's going on. The other glitch so far is I can't change my homepage.

I'm about to carry out a clean install of XP. It's my first planned install - previously I've been forced into it following an encounter with the blue screen of death. So this time I'd like to do it with a little more care.I've searched the forums, and looked wider. There are some great articles out there, but some questions remain unanswered for me.I know I have to track down backup files for Outlook, Outlook Express, and Firefox Bookmarks. Hopefully, I'll work this out for myself. I will also copy all the contents of My Documents to an external HDD, of course.The main issue still on my mind is security. Presumably, once XP (SP1) is reinstalled, drivers added, then SP2, I should add my Panda antivirus suite, Spybot, Ad-Aware, & Zone Alarm. These will all be seriously out of date, so the next thing will be to re-establish my internet connection in order to update them.
Will my PC be vulnerable during this intervening period? If so, is there an alternative? Can I download the updates now, before wiping the hard drive, copy them to the external drive, then copy them back somehow before going online? Or is this regarded as an unavoidable risky time, like baby turtles trying to make it down the beach from their eggs to the safety of the sea, while predators have a field day?

I just Installed XP SP2 on a Gateway ESX 500s. The installation seemed to go well, the OS installed all the drivers except the usual (sound and network card). My next step was to download updates from MS windows updates. That is when something odd happened, I clicked on IE icon it opened up and said page could not be loaded (MSN default). I am using a wireless network and can access Windows up date from my HP computer with no problem. On the Gateway I can go to other sights except microsoft.

I have Windows XP Pro, SP2 When I select <Start> <Turn off computer>the Turn of Computer window comes up and the center icon <Turn Off> has a small Windows icon at the top right corner. When I click on the icon windows attempts to install the update,but when I turn the system back on the update hasn't installed.

I did an in-place repair of XP MCE 2003. I had previously installed all MS security fixes and updates, the list in my "installed programs" showed about 70 or 80 updates. The in-place repair gave me an unscrambled registry, and an unpatched XP install, without touching my installed programs or data. A good thing, overall, it fixed my major problem.
I immediately went to get all the updates -- 76 of them downloaded. I don't let Updater install automatically -- I get all the updates, but decide which to install because I got a bad version of IE7 that took me a long time to delete and recover from, but I installed ALL security updates. I generally use FireFox, so I didn't view IE7 as a security update. Anyway, it installed one or two updates, and then said the rest could not be installed....

I found a BIOS update for my system, but I don't know how to install it. It is a .bin file (ak31s20p.bin to be exact). I was told to make a bootable floppy and do it that way, but the instructions that were given, are for .exe and .rom files. Does anyone have any idea on how I can install this file?

I recently downloaded and installed the latest security updates for Win XP. The computer runs fine, but when
it is time to shut it down it takes an extremely long time to complete the shut down. I defragmented the hard
drive thinking that would solve the problem but it had no noticeable affect

I downloaded some windows updates but not all of them installed. When I go to Turn Off Computer, the "Turn Off" button has changed, indicating that when I hit it, it will install the updates. There's also a field I can click which will Turn Off without installing the updates. When I click the Turn Off buttion, it attempts to install two updates. It doesn't appear to be successful. Every time I Turn Off Computer it apparently tries to install the same two updates. I can reboot and do this over and over and they don't "take".There's nothing in Event Viewer to indicate what's going on. I couldn't find any installation logs though I'm not sure where to look.

My computer is only about 4 months old and I do not have it set to receive automatic updates. It seemed, with my last computer, the updates created more problems than they were worth. Does anyone have an opinion on how important it is to get these updates or am I just as well off not receiving them? The last time I checked to see what updates were available it appeared Microsoft even said that some of them could create problems.

Use Windows Update to find driver updates In Windows Update click Custom Install in the main column, and then click Select optional hardware updates in the left-hand column. Windows Update examines all parts of your system to determine what needs updating and it may recommend more than just driver updates. It's a good idea to visit Windows Update regularly for driver updates and other non-critical updates.

As far as I understand since April 2005 updates are downloaded from Windows Update site once a month Correct me, if I am wrong) somewhere between 10-14 of every month? If so, how should I install critical updates, which issued between two monthly update dates?

For about two weeks now my computer keeps crashing every time I turn it on. At first it wouldn't turn off when I go to shut down, then afterwards, it won't boot up normally. I turn it on and it freezes, every time, I have to hold down the power button, wait for a few seconds then try again. It will then boot up or ask to boot up from the Last Known Good. Either way, it will boot, get to the WIndows menu and sometimes crashes again and reboots automatically. I've reported this to Microsoft each time, and I've already re-formatted and re-installed Windows and the problem still persists.

My CPU is constantly 100%. My computer is terribly slow and may applications suddenly crash without warning. Firefox and print shop are the main crashers. I did a clean boot and after that the speed was absolutely fantastic,no crashes and very little CPU Usage. However, as soon as I added any of my essential applications(logmein,trend micro,Google desktop,linksys) the same problem was immediately back. I disabled these programs one by one and it still happens.

I've been experiencing random crashes of Explorer.exe, and when looking at the Application window of the Event Viewer it details this:
Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2800.1106, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.1106, fault address 0x00001d24.
I searched around the internet and found no real answer, there's some solutions which require using the Data Execution Prevention tab with SP2, and adding explorer.exe to the list. I plan to try this, but I was wondering, would replacing ntdll.dll with another computer's possibly fix the problem? It's been an annoyance now for a month, and I've ran every virus scan, every spyware/malware/ware-ness program known to man, to no avail.

Soon as i turn it on the antivirus starts up and my broadband connects then it freezes, a few times i've managed to open the task manager and i notice that on the CPU Usage History it it constantly at 100% and when i go onto the Processes tab instead of System Idle it is SVCHOST.EXE that is using all the CPU.
I thought it was a virus so i started my PC in safe mode and run the virus scanner, it found 3 Trojan Horse Downloaders, one even named itself CMD.exe which i thought would of cured the problem but ive turned it on this morning and it is still the same, it seems a little better and lasts longer before crashing but it still crashes eventually.

My laptop keeps on crashing, whilst playing on world of warcraft, my laptop just completely switches itself off without warning. As of yet, has only crashed whilst playing wow. This is also not due to overheating, as im using a separate fan unit, after heat issues arose Using an acer laptop - aspire 5610 - with Xp proffesional, media center. Also sometimes, after restarting the laptop, and selecting the screen name, it comes up with my background wallpaper, but no icons, start bar, etc - only way to get rid of this is turning the power button off. Included a hijackthis log (hope i've done it right.
