Internet Explorer 8 bombs at startup.

Boggin:
As IE is part of Windows, see if running a sfc /scannow or chkdsk /f from the Command Prompt as an admin does anything for you.

The sfc will tell you what has been done in the cbs log and you can read the chkdsk report in Event Viewer.

Shane:
I would like to find out why it isnt working as well :-)

But try this, grab my Windows Repair v2.8.2 then run the 3 permissions repairs and then the repair IE and see if that helps.

In 2.8.1 I didnt have it taking ownership of the registry permissions and so some files would register correctly. So lets try it again with those 4 repairs selected in v2.8.2 :wink:

IE7 works in Windows safe mode.  I reset the settings while in safe mode but after booting back into normal mode, no luck -- same error.  Some hope as things are working in safe mode.  I am going to try a "clean boot" here soon and will post the results for that tomorrow.

Boggin:
If it still fails in a clean boot then that will point to your AV or aspects of it such as AVG Secure Search Toolbar if using AVG or you may have picked up a malicious one - so did this occur shortly after downloading anything - in which case your restore points should be able to come to your rescue and have you tried running IE without add-ons ?

Jehanne:
Bingo!  I uninstall some "search module" one of my kiddos had downloaded and everything is now running.  Easy to find as I date sorted on program installs.

Thanks!
