Internet Explorer crashes on startup
I have 3 machines (all Dell GX520 running Windows XP SP3 with IE7) exhibiting the same problem - when launching IE, it crashes straightaway with a generic memory error with no specified module or further information.
I have tried the following to no avail:
- Reinstalled IE7
- Removed and installed IE7
- Ran IE7 with no extensions / addons disabled / deleted all external addons
- spyware check - found stuff, fixed, now clean
- AV - clean
- Installed / uninstalled IE updates
IE loads fine when not connected to the network. Firefox loads fine.
Any further suggestions or ideas are most welcome.
Solution 1:
Please restart your system in 'SAFE MODE' & try opening IE. If it works then something's interfering with IE in regular boot mode. Let us know how it goes.
