771543 2009-05-06 22:37:00 Tried to install IE8 after downing it manually,as I do with Micro updates.It wouldn't even start up after a couple of install tries.Went to safe mode and uninstalled 8,then tried reinstalling IE7.That starts, then comes up with a message that it's encountered a problem and needs to close,more info states Error signature....AppName:iexplore.exe....AppVer:7.0.60 00.16827...ModName:msvcrt.dll.......ModVer.7.0.260 0.5512.........Offset:00036fa3......

Just done a scannow as suggested on one site,hasn't helped.
And a lot of links on Google go to pay sites to get the answer.
Anyone have any clues?I only use IE to go to Micro site.
Thanks.

771546 2009-05-07 00:06:00 Have you got system restore running? You could try and go back before the IE8 install. wratterus (105)
771547 2009-05-07 00:13:00 Tried that too! Neil McC (178)
771548 2009-05-07 00:20:00 Can you get into internet options? Right Click IE>Properties or Control Panel>Internet options

Could you post a HJT (www.trendsecure.com) log? Just do we can double check theres nothing obvious that could be causing the problem.

771550 2009-05-07 00:33:00 No go, the main screen opens and then up pops the message,I click ok and IE closes. Neil McC (178)
771551 2009-05-07 01:28:00 What OS and service pack do you have? Rob99 (151)
771552 2009-05-07 01:49:00 Using XP Pro SP3 all updated.Well, just let it install an update for IE7, which it thinks I have, and it cut my internet connection.So System Restore does come in handy! Neil McC (178)
