IE 8 Crashes!

[Ch@n]

Hi all,

I have all the major 4 browsers installed in my lappy. Occasionally I use IE8 for my inhouse application. But in recent times, I am encountering a strange issue.

I tried to bookmark my application link in IE and the moment I click on Bookmark, IE Crashes. I tried disabling some toolbars and addons, no luck. Tried opening IE ith no addons, no luck. Now, the moment I launch IE, it crashes.

Googled, tried all possible steps, but nothing works.

Next try, re-install IE8. Any other suggestions?

Was the repetition necessary?

My gudness, 4 replies/suggestions within 10 minutes? AWESOME!!!

I have tried resetting it. Couldnt try system restore, cos do not know from when this issue is happening.

Should I scan the C drive?

BTW, tried re-installing IE8, but MS site doesnt have one for Win 7. Tried, Vistas, but got a msg not compatible.

Update 1: IE8 crashes now with no addons too.
Update 2: Running sfc now.

typo: I made the change. I meant system image.

This is a long shot, but go to search. Type in Turn off. From there go to turn windows features on and off. Turn off IE. Shut down, boot up and then restore it. Sometimes these long shots are the ones that work.

^^ I got this info from MS and tried the same. But IE is no where mentioned in there.

What's wrong?

 

[Ch@n]

Tried SFC /scannow?

I believe this did the trick. Now I am able to use IE and also the favorites work.

Note: Your suggestion removed my custom start orb, icons and patched system files. :devil:

MODS: You can close this thread.

It will do that. It restores the original files.

Due to the system theme files being patched/modified, sfc will revert it to it's original state, hence removing the modifcations you implied.

 

[Ch@n]

Not a problem. Repped you too.

How to put a green check mark before the thread? Is it available to the thread starter or only the MODS can do it?

Just report your last post, and say solved, admins/mods will sort it out.

I'll leave you to do the honors, sir :devil:

 

[Airbot]

I already marked it.

 

[Ch@n]

Ok, so only mods can put a thread as solved. I thought I can close it as solved. Not an issue.

 

[Airbot]

I think you can mark your own created thread within 5 minutes of it being made, after that only mods can, and you can just report it.

 

[Ch@n]

couldn get wat u were saying..

 

[Airbot]

If you make a thread, you could mark it as solved yourself from the thread tools within the first 5 minutes. So say you figured the problem out within the 5 minutes of making the thread, you could mark it solved. After that time has passed, only moderators or above can marked threads as solved, so you will have to report the thread to be marked.

 

[Ch@n]

I dont think a person can find a solution within 5 minutes. I assume, everybody will do a google and when out of options will resort to start a thread. I believe, the thread starter should be able to close the thread as solved. Anyways, MODS can take this as a suggestion.
