"IExplore.exe has generated an error." Now what?

I was getting the application error also, ( memory could not be read ) it was actually a yahoo problem and not IE at all. For those of you that are getting this error, and are using yahoo mail, with the photo mail option, uninstall the yahoo photo quick select tool, in add/remove programs. This photo tool, is a beta tool, and it appears to still have some bugs in it, that yahoo has not addressed yet. IMAGINE THAT, YAHOO NOT FIXING A PROBLEM THAT THEY CREATED !

I forgot to mention, in the above comment, that i was only getting this error, when sending email from yahoo. Try to see what program you are using, when receiving this error, and it will likely be a problem within that particular program, and not explorer, even though the error says it is a iexplore.exe error.
Hope this helps someone out there.

IEXPLORE.EXE is generationg a message that says 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropiate permission to access the item'. Should I remove IEXPLORE.EXE? It comes up constantly, please tell me what to do. Thank you so much for you help, in advance.

That sounds more like spyware. Get and run an up-to-date spyware scann (and anti-virus, while you're at it).

When i was on msn, I had a link which asked if the web address was me. I clicked on it and it sent me a virus. Now I can't access my hotmail account, enable window's firewall, updates or access any virus websites, or updates. As well, I can't log into msn either, or the internet-baised msn. I looked for the root file but found nothing. Hopefully you can help.

Thanks,

Step one is to run an up-to-date anti-virus scan. Have you done so?

I have had this problem with multiple Iexplore running in background. I tried everthiong from virus to spyware, no help. Running Hijackthis and process of elimination I found it to be the YAHOO TOOLBAR. I deleted it through Hijack 03 yahoo toolbar and presto it's gone. So I deleted from my system and downloaded yahoo new toolbar 6.2 and PRESTO Iexplore came back. Hope this helps====Paul

I had the same errors but would get them with McAfee Virus Scan, Filemaker Pro and some other programs. I fixed the problem by installing the latest update to Microsofts .dot net version 1 and updating the drivers to the video card. I can't tell which update fixed the error, doesn't matter to me. I'd probably update the .net first. WinXP, Matrox APVe video cards.

QUESTION:I keep getting a box entitled "iexplore.exe - Application Error"
The instruction at "0x01dc1e10" referenced memory at "0x0174ad58". The memory could not be "read." Click on OK to terminate the program. I appears constantly.

ANSWER:THIS IS DUE TO GOOGLE TOOLBAR FOR INTERNET EXPLORER.UNINSTALL GOOGLE TOOLBAR ,YOUR IE WILL WORK FINE.WITH NO ERRORS

If you've got the Acrobat IE helper IE Explorer.exe- application error every time you close the browser, the solution is to download one or two PDF documents. The annoying error message will go away.
