Whenever i am on internet explorer and i "X" out I get a pop up that says that an error has occured and asks if i wanna send an error report. When i click NO or YES all my Internet things i have on the taskbar disappear. This is bad 4 me becuz i am a multitasker. This happens every time. sometimes i dont even "X" out the pop up just comes. I am wondering if the fact that i had limewire for a few days had anything to do with it. I deleted it wen i noticed this problem. Please respond with details. This problem is annoying.

Yeah, if you're using Limewire, there's a good chance you've got a virus or some other form of malicious programs on your computer.\n\nDownload a good anti-virus program and do a full scan of your system.\n\nAfter that, go download Firefox (sourced) and use that instead of Internet Explorer. It's a web browser just like Internet Explorer, only it's MUCH safer to use. Internet Explorer has MANY security holes that make your computer very vulnerable to virus attacks. Firefox doesn't have these security holes, making it MUCH safer to use than Explorer.

I just downloaded internet explorer 7 today and had the same problem. Here is the solution. Right mouse click on the tool bar. If menu bar does not have a check mark next to it then click on it. Now you will have the tool bar with the file, edit, view, favorited, tools and help button. \nHope this helps.

How do I know you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer, and not Firefox or Opera or any other browser...\n\nbecause Microsoft Permits naughty scripts to do naughty things! It has so many pop-up questions that it is difficult to tell what is important and what is not.\n\nTurning on javascript alone does not clobber everything... but MS's javascript + activeX can do that!\n\nJust say no to viruses and spyware (get protection!!!) or just getfirefox (http://getfirefox.com)

You may have spyware or virus.\n\nTry these. They work and they are free:\n\nRun the tool and then download the free spyware and virus protection programs:\n\nMalicious virus removal tool:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx\n\nAd-Aware Free download:\nhttp://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/...\n\nAVG Download free\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nYahoo Toolbar has good pop-up blocker:\nhttp://toolbar.yahoo.com/\n\nGood Luck

Two things occur to me...\n\n1. Your Internet Explorer is set to report all scripting errors (there are loads on the internet, so best to turn that option off) - IE6  -Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, place a tick next to Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer) and a tick next to Disable Script Debugging (Other). And remove the tick from Display a Notification About Every Script Error.\n\n2. It may be Java that is causing the problem. Java is a programming language that is used frequently on the internet. In Add/Remove Programs (Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs), remove Java versions 1.4 abd below, any Java updates. Then visit http://www.java.com and download the latest version of Java.

Make sure of 2 things\n1: within IE that you have tabbed browsing turned on\n2: the pop-up blocker is enabled and you don't have any sites listed in the allow list that shouldn't be there.\n\nIf you have a toolbar installed (yahoo or google) make sure that those pop-up blockers are activated, because they can sometimes over ride the built in blocker.\n\nAlso depends on the page itself as to how its written and in what form to allow or disallow right clicking within the page itself.  You also may not actually be getting pop-ups, rather they may be "extra pages" that are set to open when clicking or viewing certain content on certain websites.\n\nRun scans with anti-virus, anti-spy and double check.

Here are a few suggestions - Taken from computing.net\n\nHere is a list of things you can try. I see you have tried some of these already.\n\n(1) Internet Explorer->Tools->Internet\nOptions->General Tab\nClick the following buttons: Delete cookies. Delete Files (also button that pops up: Delete Offline Content). Clear History. If you save any cookies, history or offline content, then selectively delete the useless items. The cookie(s) for the site giving you trouble would be one to delete.\n\n(2) Temporarily disable antivirus/ firewall and any popup blockers/toolbars. Check to see if that solves the problem. If it does, go through and isolate which program is at fault. Change settings in that program.\n\n(3) Check to ensure Javascript is enabled. Click the Security Tab. Click to highlight Internet Zone. Click the Default Level Button. Then click the Custom Level button. Make sure it is set to Medium. Under the heading Java Permissions make sure it is set to Medium Safety. Scroll down to the Scripting Heading. Make sure all are set to Enable.\n\n(4) Look for a file named HOSTS with no extension. (not Hosts.sam or Lmhosts.sam). Could be a hidden file so you will have to be sure Show All Files. Also, be sure to uncheck, Hide extensions for known file types. These can be found in Folder Options. Start->Settings or Windows Explorer->Tools. View Tab. \n\nYou can open up a Hosts file and edit with notepad. Look for entries related to the problem site. Either delete or place a # at each related entry. The # symbol forces Windows to ignore that line. Save the new edited version to the location where it was found. Reboot and see if that was the cause of the problem.\n\n(5) Index.dat files may be corrupted. Deleting them without a program varies between versions of windows. I would suggest using IE Privacy Keeper. Freeware.\nhttp://browsertools.net/IE-Privacy-Keeper/

It's blocking pop ups...mozilla firefox likes to do those kind of things. You have to change the settings and let it accept pop ups from whichever pages it is you need them from. Mozilla is preety good. Hope I helped. Although your still suppost to have the Internet Explorer in your Windows. So just use the IE.

Get rid of the problem by downloading Mozilla Firefox, and start using only Mozilla.\nI had similar problems with IE, and they disappeared when I started using Mozilla.\nAlso, if you don't have them already: go download.com and get AVG Free (antivirus), then Adaware SE (anti spyware), if you can find Symantec Personal Firewall (best free firewall out there) and RegCleaner 4.0 from here: http://www.dewassoc.com/support/useful/regcleaner.htm\nyou'll be protected.\nI guess whet I told you was beside the question, but I know how frustrating it is when things aren't right, and what I mentioned is what I use every day with superb result.\nGo Mozilla!

[1]\nIf you have Group Similar Taskbar Buttons" option enabled, then if you have more than a certain number of Internet explorer Windows opened, they get grouped to only one item in the TaskBar, you click on it then select the Window you want ot view\n\n[2]\nCould be a program [may call it a virus], that \n- changed/altered the programming code for the minimze button on Internet explorer from "Minimize" to "Minimize and Hide"\n- or simply monitors all Intenet Explorer Windows - and once any is detected to be minimized, it calls its hWnd [Handle to A Window (Windows programming)] and hides it...\n\nBefore saying that its a virus, check the icons near the clock on the Statusbar, and see if there is any applications that do that, or if ther eis an IE icon there...\n...\n..\n.

The above issue might occur if your system has some missing .dll files or if the existing .dll files have been corrupted.  I would suggest you to install the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox.  If the errors keep repeating, try noting down the missing .dll file and download it online (just put the name of the missing .dll file in Google).  In the worst case, you might need to upgrade the OS to Windows XP.

this can happen for many reason like corrupted file, add-ons problem, you can re-install IE (always update and use latest version of IE)\nand turn off that error reporting\ngo to\ncontrol panel - > system - > Advanced (tab) - > Error Reporting - >Disable Error Reporting-> Apply

I think the short (but definitely not simple or easy) answer pertains to how web pages look at different browsers. Every time Microsoft has brought out a new version of Internet Explorer, some web pages won't recognize the new version until both Microsoft and the web page designer get their codes to agree. It is NOT a problem with your computer. As I said, this is a short answer. If you want a more detailed explanation and a possible work-around, this site might help. Don't forget to visit the link to "Known Issues" because you might save yourself a lot of grief if you know ahead of time what IE7 is all about.\n\n***There are several screenshots included in this tutorial and sometimes they take a while to load. Again, it's not a problem with your computer. You can check the status bar (located just above the task bar - with the start button and clock) to see when the screenshots are finished downloading.***\n\nhttp://www.ie-vista.com/sites.html\n\nplrr
