SOMETIMES INTERNET EXPLORER 6.0
MAY BEHAVE WEIRDLY AND EVEN STOP LOADING
I have few weeks ago upgraded (on my Windows 98 system)
from Internet Explorer Version 5.5 to Version 6 in order
to take full benefit of Microsoft MSN website.
Some day ago during a very important business conference
call using CogniConference
facility the browser freezed and spoiled the conference
session. After a period which seems to last for ever
a Windows Alert screen pops up stating the following:
"Microsoft Internet Explorer had encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience
and so on." At the bottom of the panel two
buttons shine: "Send Error Report"
and "Don't Send".
Needless
to say that I was furious to have my conference call
disrupted. I pressed upon Don't send and IE restarts
again.
Few days latter, as soon as I punched the quick launch
IE logo in the system tray, the infamous Alert Panel
pops up. IE refuses to load. I start thinking and searching
for the reason for all that weird behavior. Oh yes,
I deleted few days ago a third party Add-on to IE
and certainly the discarded tool either left with some
"dynamic link library" (DLL) or just corrupted
them to let me know that it is not easy to disuse its
service!
You may encounter the same problem with Internet Explorer
6 even if you do not delete any utility / Add-on. I
have noticed also that the pop up of the Error Panel
occurs inadvertently from times to times.
HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM
If you ever suffer from such a weird and annoying behavior
of Internet Explorer 6, don't panic. A solution exists.
Proceed as follows to troubleshoot it:
|
1-
Start / Settings
2- Control Panel / Add Remove Programs
3- Highlight Microsoft Internet Explorer
6 and Internet tools
4- Click on the Add / Remove button at
the bottom of the Add Remove Programs' panel.
A new panel shows up with three options:
4- a- Add a component (to IE)
4- b- Repair Internet Explorer
4- c- Restore the previous Windows configuration
(which means that you will be deleting IE 6 and
reversing to the former browser version existing
before you installed IE 6)

Option 4- b- had always works fine for me to troubleshoot
the Error Panel problem even if I have to repeat the
process twice before bringing Internet Explorer 6 to
behaving properly.
Remember that I have the problem when using my old
system loaded with Windows 98. Windows XP system is
equipped with a device which protects basic dynamic
link library (DLL) to be incidentally removed or corrupted
by third party software.
