IE8 32Bit crashes everytime I open it on Win7 64Bit OS
Hi,
Just got a new Acer Aspire laptop which is a 64Bit computer bundled with Win 7 Home 64Bit edition.
Every time I open the 32Bit version of IE8 it crashes on start up. I've disabled all add-in's, uninstalled Flash OCX (as I heard it can cause browsers to crash), uninstalled adobe. Tried resetting browser options back to default, tried various switches to start IE in different modes. Sometimes I can get it to open up without crashing, but as soon as I try to navigate or do anything it crashes straight away.
If I boot Windows 7 in Safe mode with Networking support, IE8 32Bit loads fine, no crashing. So it must be driver / third party related.. but what.
In Event log this is the error logged for the issue:
