| 95139 | 2002-11-01 08:55:00 | Hi all This has just started happening over the last week or so - when i am closing i.e and logging off i get that annoying message: iexplore.exe ending program please wait.....or end now etc.... At this stage it is the only thing i have had open,(i tried some different scenarios) any ideas on common causes for this??? It isn't a big deal i know, but i don't like it when things do this, it bugs me and it never did it before. I haven't added any new programs or anything like that either. Any ideas appreciated :-) Using Win XP with sp1 & IE 6 that came preinstalled with it. |

Thanks Robo, no I haven't changed anything recently apart from viewing the status bar in all windows a month or so back and I changed that back just in case, but it didn't start immediately after i did that anyway. As Mike said I have the latest I.E service pack as it was in the XP sp1. I was hoping to avoid an uninstall and reinstall because of that (sp)and any repercussions that may arise (due to the way xp integrates I.E, I read that somewhere awhile back). If as a final resort i have to uninstall and reinstall how do i go about it? As I have never done it with I.E ? And can anybody tell me of any probs it may cause i.e will i loose everthing like Favourites and Links etc... Is this how i would uninstall it and reinstall? Do i go to add/remove programs - add/remove windows component - then use the wizard? But will i need to download it again once i have removed it from there or do i just go back into there and it will still be there to add again after i have removed it??? and what about the I.E service pack will i need to download that again too or will it still be on my system because it was part of sp1??? Any last ideas greatly appreciated :-( before i decide if i want to go down that road (uninstall) and possibly open a can of worms knowing my luck? One last thing i wondered if it was happening after being thrashed for a few hours but this morning i tried checking in here then turning off and it happened then, after 5 mins of use. Help please :_| |
