So a lot of programs use the ieframe.dll in order to display webpages in them.
The version you are using is a version meant for a newer version of IE but has backwards compatibility so it works :-)
Sometimes the only way to find a cause to a problem is to ask the right questions :wink:

Yeah, before I fixed it. I downloaded the latest Internet Explorer version. That didn't work. I usually only download critical updates. Unless something doesn't work. Unless something is required like netframework, then I'll get it. I have now reformatted and installed Windows 7. I will try vmware with XP, and then try the program again. Because I want to use it (have to get A+ certficiation). I don't think it's malware after all. I never cared about Internet Explorer, so I disabled that years ago, along with windows media player. And my current ieframe.dll in Windows 7 is 8.00.7601.18404.
I don't know what exact updates you installed to get yours working. But as long as my OS doesn't act like it's broken (not to mention make me paranoid malware has compromised my system), then I'm satisfied. And I learned a lot just in case a similar problem reoccurs.
And if that's the case that other programs use ieframe.dll, then it should not go in the system32 directory, but go in their own directory. I shouldn't have to update my system to accommodate special programs that rely on a crappy browser.

I wish firefox or chrome had a way for a program to use thier browser and work with the pages, but only IE does.
Since I program in VB6 I need xp, so I just use vmware for all the extra OS's I need. XP to program in, and all the others to test my repairs in and such.
If you do use vmware let me know, I found a bug in every version of vmware where it would cause a horrible system slow down every 5 min that last for about 10 sec. What it was doing was writting memory or something to the drive, problem is the way it was writing to the drive caused anything that was trying to read off the drive to slow to a crawl. I watched the drive speed with my drive speedometer and the usage never went above 3 MB/s but playing video or anything needing the drive would stop or stutter until vmware was done.
So I did some searching and found other people who had it and I found a fix.
After you make the vmware OS and you have the .vmx file. Edit the vmx file with notepad and put this at the end of it
MemTrimRate = "0"
mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE"
prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "TRUE"
Save and reopen vmware, now when that OS runs that problem is gone and zero slow down on my system :-)

Thank you for the heads up. I will definitely let you know if the problem exists, when I get around to installing it. I plan on using VirtualBox, since it's free and open source. I hope they fixed the bugs that you are talking about. Seems like a easy fix, although.
