Hello everyone. I am looking for some help with a friends computer. It is a Dell with Windows XP. The following error now comes up and they can no longer connect to any web pages but can still get their e-mail. Here is the message...

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program:C\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
abnormal program termination

If anyone can help me out with this I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much.

1) Does your friend have an antivirus program installed? (If no, virus could be the problem)

2) Is it only Internet Explorer that fails? (If yes, try to upgrade via Windows Update, or download from MS download site. If no, maybe the Windows installation is corrupt, or you have hardware problems. A memoryerror can trig this error)

Try rebooting? Check for viruses. Another thing is to go to add remove and IE if you choose the remove has an update repair feature. You may have to download another browser so you can get around and get patches or updates if needed. I'm sure microsoft technet will have some info on your error. Kill all your temp and etc files in ie. Upgrade it if you can to another version if you haven't been using the latest version.
