    Internet explorer problem


    I keep getting from time to time a message to say that IE has stopped working and is closing then reopens the same tab that it has just shut down.

    Am trying to fix an old Vista laptop at the moment and it is driving me mad. This happened on my own laptop a while ago and I think I might have posted it but cannot find the post if I indeed did post.

    Any ideas please?

    1. Click Start
    2. In the search box, type cmd
    3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator
    4. In the command window that opens, type sfc /scannow and hit enter.

    Report the output from the command window once it finishes.

    Thanks Golden I actually did run that while getting ready for work a while ago and it found corrupted files!!
    I ran the command as admin copied that into the prompt

    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

    from the Microsoft support site but it doesn't throw up any information?? So does one do it again or just rely on it having repaired the files on the reboot??

    Sometimes running it up to 3 times, with a reboot between each, will correct the corruptions (it reports them as corrected).

    If it doesn't, upload the sfcdetails.txt file here, and we'll get Tom/Noel to look at it.

    Ok mate I thought I had seen run it for a few times somewhere but wasn't sure. The only problem is getting those reports if it comes up bung again, am not sure why the cmd search didn't show a thing or am I looking in the wrong place?

    Perhaps the CBS.log file would be better.

    Check Step 4 here:

    Ok mate I thought that the CBS one was the one that was going to be generated but I will go that route - point 4 :)

    Have you checked the Reliability Monitor

    To see what is causing the crash?

    I was getting regular crashes from nvwgf2um.dll

    Which I was able to fix by disabling hardware acceleration,

    Yeah, it's worth a look. It was bugging me for a few weeks before I was able to find something that worked. :)
