Hi I'm using ie6 with xp pro and IE has now started to suddenly quit without error all the time.

If I reboot it still happens so I have to use netscrape now :(

ANy ideas why it's doing this?
 
Anything in the application log in event viewer?
 
No idea as to why but there are a couple of things you can try to see if they help.

See if System Restore will get you back to a restore point before your problem with Internet Explorer.

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.

From web.
"The ability to Repair Internet Explorer does not exist in the version that ships with Windows XP. This feature only becomes available after you upgrade to a newer version. This is normal and has been this way since Windows 98 and IE4. However, you can reinstall IE in Windows XP by clicking Start, Run and entering the following command:


rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 c:\windows\inf\ie.inf

You will need to have your XP CD available."


If they don't work you could try repairing windows itself by running it over itself. You will lose all your windows updates but your files will be untouched.
