Hi i installed it again last night to see if was any differant but still the same there is no error code it just says internet explorer has stopped working close the programe. So i've blocked it from offering me an update of it again.

Like I said previously, you have to go to the event viewer to find out error codes etc, they dont just show when the program terminates, the computer makes a log of the error and stores it under 'applications' in the event viewer. If you go there and look, an error is easy to spot, having a red circle with an x in it. It will also have an error ID which you can search for online.

Had IE installed via a manual download on one of my rigs..... so far, no issues, apart from one with Norton IS 08, where the Phishing protection keeps switching off soon as I start IE 8. A minor issue.

As for IE itself, do not like it much at all, with all the added bells and wistles on it, so will only use it when running MS updates.

See from your screenie i can spot summat annoying with it.

On the address bar it says http:// then it has 'fruit-emu' in darker text .com .

Try under 'Windows logs', application. If that has 'gone back', then guess its a mystery!

aaahh i see it now

& i dont pay much attention to it, ill see if theres a fix about somehwere to make it all black

and i think it points out what site your on so you dont get tricked into the scams that say your going to a site (i.e natwest) nyet it takes you to their scam site

Hi did what you saide but no error codes wondering if they was wiped when i did a system restore.

Start - Control Panel - Performance and maintenance - Administrative Tools - Event Viewer.

Edit: yes if you did a system restore they will be wiped.

Guessing it's that Rapport app they was offering on internet banking.

May have to go full on with it too, as the phishing protection in norton for some odd reason keeps turning itself off.

dunno if this is relevant to you tommy...but i have had install issues in the past over ie 8..and ie7...went to microsoft and found this little..(its microsofts fault/glitch)..tucked away on one of their pages


apparantly when installing ie7/ie8...if you are fiddling about messing wiv yer comp while its doing it..it can skip a few files which WILL cause your problem
(not a complete uninterrupted install type thingy)

ALSO and this is a crazy bonafide fact...when it tells ya to restart..immedatly after install..if u were to press "later"....which most of us lazybones do coz were doing summin else....this will ..and often does to me..result in a corrupt install




SHIMPLES.....LOL

ANYWAYS..all ie,s are shite and slower than ff on the whole..

try apples SAFARI..thats pretty cool...and quite nippy..(well it is for me)

[mattyballs]

Nah the computer was left alone for it to install em but as you mentioned restarting later my nephew went on the pc and clicked restart later so that may have something to do with it. But i'm not chancing insalling the bag of shite again can't be arsed messing with it.

YH YH DONT BLAME YAZ...seeing as yas did restart later..i know it sounds mad..but microsoft had that little page of info nicely tucked away....

(how often do they admit fkin up..lmao)...thats probs why u got immediate update requests for the software..cos it was corrupted...

ANYWAY...u dont have to put up with it having had your greif..u decided not to have it...lmao
