    Hi Jerry666,

    Best thing to do first is to clear your temporary internet files and the normal temp file.
    Then the next time you get that error click on details and post the info that gives you.
    If you keep having problems with popups, please download Hijackthis (Direct download link) and post the log it generates.
    If you are uncomfortable with posting it, feel free to IM or mail it to me.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Jerry,

    I'm wondering if you've tried to do a Repair on Internet Explorer? In Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > select "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and Internet Tools" and do "Add/Remove" (might be "Change/Remove" on W2K). There's is an option on the next screen that comes up to "Repair" IE, rather than actually removing it.

    It's possible if you just shutdown your system to stop all those pop-ups that it was damaged somehow.

    Just a thought,
    LowWaterMark

    Hi Jerry666,

    This is a quote from: AT&T Help

    Alternate fix to repair Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x for Windows 2000:

    From the Start menu, choose Run.
    In the Run window, type rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE5Maintenance "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Setup\SETUP.EXE" /g "C:\WINNT\IE Uninstall Log.Txt" Note: The command is case-sensitive.
    Choose the OK button.
    Select the Repair Internet Explorer option and choose the OK button.
    Choose the Yes button to continue with the repair.
    Restart the computer when you are prompted and allow the computer to configure Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    Instead of typing the command, I would recommend copy & paste ;)

    Please try and see if that helps.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Iexplore/Unknown page faults are often due to conflicts with internet related applications, and this routinely means spyware.

    Would you please follow up on Pieter's advice and post a Hijack This log?

    That will help us to either rule out that possibility, or hopefully to pinpoint the cause of the problem.

    You're right. That looks pretty clean to me.

    You could try unchecking "enable third party browser extensions" in Internet Options > Advanced, to see whether one of your BHOs could possibly be causing this.

    As for repairing IE, do I understand correctly that you did re-install Internet Explorer?

    Also, please go to IE > Help > About IE, and tell us the Version info you see there.

    I'm sorrty, but I fail to understand what you mean by that.

    If you want to re-install Internet Explorer, either go to the Windows Update site, find the version of IE you need, and install it,'or, in case you have the Internet Explorer cabs on your hard drive, find your "Windows Update Setup Files" folder, locate Ie5setup.exe, and doubleclick that in order to redo the install.

    Did you do one of those things, and if so, which one exactly?

    And We still don't know the exact version info either.

    I´m wondering about one more thing:

    Event ID 1000 seems related to roaming user profiles and behind user it reads N/A
    Did the error report state that originally or did you change that for privacy reasons?

    Regards,

    Pieter

    In that case I´ve got a lead but not the foggiest what to do with that yet.

    This is what I mean: The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. That is from your error reports.
    Do you have a passworded Administrator account that is not used by default. If so: try rebooting and log in under that account. I´d like to know if IE works for you then.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi, Jerry. I could be way off on this one, but since it sounds like you've tried everything else, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask: Did you by any chance happen to install the MS Update #329170? I have read on other threads where installing this update wreaks havoc with shutdowns, and uninstalling it provides the fix. There are several threads on other forums that discuss it in more detail. I'll post some here just in case:

    http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,5394543~root=winme~mode=flat

    Hope it helps.

    (NOTE: I've found sometimes with these links that in order to actually get to the site you might need to highlight the entire link, then copy/cut/paste into your address bar.)

    Hi SK. Try using URL tags likes these before and afetr the link. Some links are broken because of ; and ~ signs in them. There may be more, but these two ruin links to MS Knowledgebase and DSLR. Pieter

    You might have an application that is causing this and could try shutting them down one by one.

    I for one have tried using the repair feature for IE and found if you have a fast internet connection, downloading IE completly new id the only way to sometimes fix it.
    I don't mean download the small IE file you usualy get and then after clicking on that file it starts the main download. I mean download the entire 12 meg file. If this don't work you may have damaged a Windows System file. Those dang porn sites AND Warez are good for
    smashing you with popups :mad:

    Woah, there, Freddy - looks like your 1784 is wide open. I don't know about that one. Wouldn't want Dino to be running out any open port. I remember when something like that that happened to Wilma's pet stegasoris. Sure wouldn't want that to happen to good ol Dino!

    sik

    ;)

    (And what's up with that Snid, anyway?) ISS shows it as High Risk
