Computer Help!! IE crashing

[Waylander]

Ok something is going on here. Everynow and then I get this message saying there is something wrong with IE and it shuts down on me. I've run ad-aware, spybot and windows virus checker they all come up empty. It didn't start doing this until I defraged my hard drive the other day. Pic of the message I get below. This is only happening on this site, all the others I use are fine.


Also my home page is changed. I get this aboutblank thing when my home page is supposed to be KB. I change it in my internet options but it changes back after the page window closes.

Anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Mine's doing it too, i send a report to MS each time, soon they'll get sick of it and fix it

tried binning the cache and cookies for this site (means you'll loose your 'auto login' til next time)? Look for files that have 'kiwibiker.co.nz' on, or from this site, or whatever Spank has called the cookies. Might be corrupt.

Also, do you have another user account on your PC? If so, try it on KB and see if you can get the same thing to happen. If you don't have another account, might be an idea to set one up as a 'just in case' thing..

Else, if all else fails, buy a mac.

simple answer spyware, go save yourself from that crap here

www.mozilla.org

Get FireFox
And
Thunderbird (as a outlook replacement)

I use both and never get spy ware ever nor viruses.

I don't use outlook express. Gettin firefox now. Hopefully I wont get another one of those things while it's downloading.

Might also pay to run (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) once your done to get rid of the crap that IE has left in its wake....

exactly that problem is what made me change to firefox. It was pissing me off so bad i almost formatted my harddrive...

[HDTboy]

Maybe spuds av caused it?

Hmm strange, was looking at this thread, scrolled down a bit then got the same error message, its never happened before.

Maybe aliens have taken over KB'r

Did all of you who are experiencing the problems I have already documented in the "Beta Testing" thread run the program that required "beta testing". If the only people experiencing problems are the ones who ran that program, then it's pretty fucken obvious where the problem lies, and I suspect someone will have a SHITload of explaining to do.

I'm sorry if I'm jumping to conclusions, but this only started for me the second after I ran that program (again, which didn't even work, just caused an error itself...).

well?

Ohhh yes.. mozilla is 'the shizzle'.

By the way, waylander (lol that was too many 'ways' for one sentence), try stay away from weird themes and custom whatevermajiggies. I find that the computers that come in to be fixed with all those flashy cursors and icons and stuff always need fixing/reimaging, because the flash stuff brings a whole lot of nasties in with it

When you get mozilla... make use of the tabbed browsing.. it is very usefull!

I will bet a billion dollars that my (shit) program does nothing want the source code?

[Waylander]

Nah mate it's not that cause I didn't even so much as open that file. It's gotta be something else.

Bugjuice: I just noticed the advice you gave up there(yea it did it to me again after I read HDTboy's response) I tried that and it is still doing it. Have another 56 minutes till firefox is downloaded and if that doesn't work, then I don't know what else to try.

Only thing of those that I have is the Halo one from the windows website. Got it several months ago so unless it was a delayed thing then I don't think that is it.

I wouldn't touch Johns handy work, and I'm affected by this problem
