    It's another Microsoft "Added Feature". Like with most M$ unrequested features, turn it off.

    To get rid of this problem all you need to do is this:

    Press Win Flag + Pause break key. If you don't have the Win Flag key just right click on my computer and select properties.
    Go to the 'Advanced' tab
    Under 'Performance' click on 'Settings'
    Under the 'Visual Effects' tab uncheck the first four check boxes
    Click on 'OK'

    I experienced this same problem. A lot of the proposed solutions here didn't work. What finally seems to have solved the problem for me was turning off the Sandboxie toolbar in IE6 (View-Toolbars).

    The Sysfader error is triggered when iexplore.exe makes the API Function call "mshtml!DllGetClassObject(6365413c)" to the %WINDIR%\system32\mshtml.dll library. It could be a virus/worm that has disabled bits of ie's code (see below), or it may be due to some needed dependancy library(s) that may have been un-installed, & is required for mshtml.dll to complete the called function, & return it's result to iexplore.exe, or ie's web activex control. If that still is not the problem, then iexplore.exe may have requested mshtml.dll to parse corrupted data thus receiving rubbish in return, or an un-wanted program is messing around. If that still is'nt it, then maybe the registry has collision prone entries that is causing IE to try to execute opposing instructions at app termination causing it to get confused, & hang... triggering sysfader (who was told that IE is shutting down) to crash right along with it. Just as a precaution, replace the %WINDIR%\system32\mshtml.dll library with an original copy from either your Win CD, or a trusted dll download site.... it may be corrupted.

    It seems to cause the same problem in software that uses the Internet explorer's web control, and makes a similar call.

    In XP I right clicked on my screen and went to properties and then to appearance and clicked on the effects tab and changed the effect from fade to scroll ...either way worked for me I no longer get the error when shutting down my PC :)

    Downloading software like GetRight, & others are some of the guilty parties who cause this situation in IE.

    Remove all related add-ons of the offending software from IE, & un-install whatever software it is from your system. Make sure that IE is totally terminated before you attempt an un-install. Use TaskManager to terminate iexplore.exe if it is still active in memory after you've closed it. Close any other programs that may be useing IE's activex control like instant messengers. When you have completed the un-install, run IE again, & close it to see if it still hangs on its close request.

    Still researching this problem.

    Re: What the hell is Sysfader.exe ? SOLUTION??

    I apologize in advance if anyone has already posted here, or anywhere else for that matter, a solution for this

    stupendously aggravating IE7 error or a version similar. Being as how I've searched shallow and deep for a proper

    comprehendence and possible end for both Sysfader and a generic 'cannot write to memory' error when opening IE7, I

    can only speculate from the enmasse of similar postings, that I am not alone. I can also speculate that either

    Microsoft is all too busy with the rolling out of the seemingly debaucherous and holey-coded Vista, or they can't

    figure it out either. So once again, it is us fellow geeks, the end user, the uber-obsessive computer recluses, that

    must alter and diminish standards set by Microsoft to gain basic and consistent useability.

    I tried most of the fixes for these aforementioned IE7 errors, with the exception to Restore points since this is my

    fiance's computer, and while so far the Sysfader error has stopped, the other error above hadn't. And then I made

    what I believe at this short time span between changing settings, testing and writing this update, is a respectable

    discovery, and an applicable fix for IE7 crashing once if not several times on first open, claiming 'cannot write to

    memory'. 'Send Microsoft error report'? Why must I continue to send them when they go unanswered?

    This is what I came up with. Email me if it works for you, and spread the word as well. Post it on every site

    imaginable. It is as follows:

    When earlier this morning I began to deeply search for the answer to the Sysfader error, I came across this site, http://beyondteck.blogspot.com/2006/05/how-to-stop-sysfaderexe-error.html

    which is the one I mentioned earlier by typing in 'Sysfader error how to fix?'(without the ''s):

    http://beyondteck.blogspot.com/2006/05/how-to-stop-sysfaderexe-error.html which also seems to kick back to this

    forum board, so I do not know the origin of the posting, but nevertheless... so without taking credit for the

    Sysfader fix by my recap, here it is:

    1. If you have a Windows key on your keyboard, press that and the Pause button simutaniously and that will bring up

    your System settings (better known as Alt+doubleclick on My Computer, or rightclick/properties on My Computer).

    2. Go to the Advanced Tab and click Settings on the Performance option.

    3. The third tab over says "Data Execution Prevention". What I gathered from the help file (which is like another

    language in itself sometimes...or extremely vague and useless) is that while this option monitoring all programs, it

    looks for programs using memory incorrectly, which it will associate with the likes of a virus or other malicious

    software, and cause it to error out and force it to close. Then it hit me, 'if someone is overloading IE7 with

    homepage tabs, and multitasking with other IE windows open outside of the main one, shouldn't that constitute as

    poor memory usage, therefore resulting in the DEP to perk up and close down the program? Especially if a users

    performance settings are set to 'appearance' and not 'performance'. I believe as well that DEP remembers such

    programs repeatedly utilizing poor memory allocation and automatically shuts it down as it opens. This is the only

    solution I can apply to my own experience. After about the first week of upgrading to IE7, this began to happen. I

    open IE7, my homepages begin to load, I get the error and it crashes. I open it again, and it's fine. But if I shut

    it down for any significant amount of time, and decide to reopen, same result. So this is my solution thus:

    4. So, going back to the DEP tab, I chose the second option, "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those

    I select" and simply added the IE7 .exe to the list, clicked apply and ok. It asked me to reboot for the changes to

    be made, and so I did.

    5. Now to test it:

    I rebooted as I mentioned, and immediately opened IE7 in excitement expecting dismay, and it did just that...it

    opened! Without crashing! So I opened another, and another, and 5 more hoping the memory would funk out and crash

    all 7 windows. I didn't get the response I was going for. In fact, only 4 of the windows completely loaded, the

    other 3 still churning away; white pages of purgatory.

    I closed them all, and opened IE7 again. Loaded. Waited, opened. Loaded. Walked to the store, opened. Loaded!
    Now I have but one more test to run, which is again to reboot and attempt it all over again...

    (INTERLUDE)

    ...Rebooted, opened IE7, and it immediately closed itself, but no error.
    ...repeated the process, and got the same results. It opens, closes itself, but no error message.
    This is only a short testing process so far, and like aforementioned, I believe the DEP has a memory of the programs

    it monitors, so in theory, it should phase IE7 out the more you use it, but by the immediate test results, that

    theory looks bleak. It seems that even the DEP option doesn't seem to do what it should. Maybe there is another

    process tied to ie.exe that should also be added to the exception list which I am not aware of. If anyone should

    find the combination of settings that correctly disable this atrocious IE7 behaviour, kindly post it and email me as

    well. Until then, I will be following my own update advice.

    Sorry if this post has been a grand waste of time, but I know that there are more qualified computer geeks out

    there, and maybe with this information, a solution is within grasp. One step closer is never a bad thing.


    UPDATE:

    Simply: Use Firefox v2. That will solve the IE7 problem, and any others that WILL arise.

    This worked for me: use an administrator account, and re-install Flash. This doesn't seem to be related to video card drivers or anything like that. Just re-install Flash, that's it.

    We had a user with this EXACT issue while in IE (WinXP Pro OS) and it turns out the fix was this (definitely NOT a virus issue):
    An a different pc we went to the same webpage where he was receiving this error and it opened a PDF.
    We realized the problem was Adobe. His machine had Adobe Pro 6 installed AND Acrobat Reader 7.0.
    Uninstalled Acrobat Reader 7.0, then rebooted.
    Upon reboot, opened Adobe, at which point a message appeared asking if we'd like to be able to view PDF's in the browser. Chose yes and closed Adobe.
    Visited the webpage again and user no longer receives the Sysfader.exe error.
    Problem Fixed.

    I had huge problems with SysFader, Auto Suggest Drop Down, and Connections Tray. All would freeze my computer several times each day so that I could not get to any of my web sites, using Internet Explorer 7. Also, Internet Explorer 7 would many times each day say thay it was shutting down because it had encountered a problem and apologized for the inconvenience. I tried several solutions and nothing worked. Then I noticed that somehow my problems seemed to be connected with my attempts to connect to my e-mail service, NetZero. I also remembered that I had disconnected my Windows Firewall at about the same time that I started having trouble with SysFader, etc. I went to the Control Panel and I reinstated and connected Windows Firewall again. Since them I have had absolutely no trouble with Sys Fader, Auto Suggest Drop Down, Connections Tray, or Internet Explorer 7. Everything is perfectly OK. Such a simple fix and it has worked perfectly and beautifully. I hope this helps others with the same SysFader problem.

    I just got onto my computer and it has slowed down something terribly and my task manager and documents and microsoft word will not respond to the close out command. is this a hacker playing with my computer or is it a program I can delete from my files? I have read several of the posts here and it seem as if nothing is really helping to resolve this problem. why cant people just leave other's belongings alone? :ouch:

    Hello lisa bencaz

    Is your problem related to sysfader.exe?
    If not, please start a new thread with detailed description of your system, security software you're using, recent changes you made, your surfing habits, etc. More details are needed, otherwise it's a guesswork.

    From afar, I wouldn't say it's a hacker playing with your system, more likely you picked up some malware - a virus. However, these forums don't provide professional assistance in malware cleaning. See this thread, it should help you to take further steps.

    Cheers.
