Regularly facing problem with all the users in my company throwing an error "iexplore.exe has generated some errors and windows will be closed automatically" .... issue is solved by re-installing the IE ( 6.0 - SP1 ), It was a repeated problem, please provide me a solution as it is effecting by work as well as the customer production time.

The IEXPLORER.exe error I keep repeatedly receiving is due to the Flash Player. I did all of the things in the article. I googled the error and it seems there are quite a lot of people with this problem now that the Flash 9 is out. I think it is an Adobe problem and not IE. Unable to locate any fix for this on Adobe's site. I downloaded a stand alone from http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/964714156/ after removing flash using this link http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe and I wasn't receiving the IE error anymore but new problem, websites can't detect flash plug-in so I clicked on link to Adobe and loaded flash from there again now I get the IEXPLORE.exe error again.

i reinstalled win98se and i had went to microsoft to get updates,i had downloaded IE6.0 service pack1.Now i went to add/remove programs to repair IE and it starts to scan and an error comes up "VERSION 5.0.0.3715 OF FILE VBSCRIPT.DLL Exists but the version needs to be greater then 5.5.0.5207/ version 5.0.03715 of the SCRRUN.DLL exists but the version needs to be greater than 5.1.0.5010

Many errors with internet explorer are caused by bad registry settings (it's just another application like any other on your computer). Try using a free windows registry cleaner such as CCleaner. If that doesn't work than go for the ones that'll set you back 20$ - RegistryCleaner.

i had many ie errors i fixd them with ms-errors great app for ie errors and registry problem.
i bought it 2 mounth ago and since that day i had no such errors.

I get the following error message from iExplore when I try to exit Internet Explorer:

The instruction at "0x04965678" referenced memory at "0x057005a0". The memory could not be "read".

Any suggestions on what this is and/or how I can get it to go away?

I was getting "The Application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way" error in IE today also. It turned out to be Google Tool Bar. Here's how I fixed it:

Click Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons). If IE starts and works OK, that means an add-on is causing the problem.

Now that you can use IE, click Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Manage add-ons. Here you can disable add-ons individually to find out which one is causing the problem. If you are running Google Tool Bar, I would start with disabling everything that says Google on it. There will be about four entries. Click on each one and click the "Disable" radio button. Click OK when finished.

Now start up IE again in the regular way. If the problem is gone, then Google Toolbar was the culprit. Sometimes I have found that I could uninstall it and re-install to fix the problem (my favorites etc. were still there).

If IE still does not work, then it's another add-on. I would disable about half of the add-ons and test again. Keep disabling half of the remaining enabled add-ons until it works. Then the problem is in the batch you just disabled. So you can gradually narrow it down until you find the specific one that is bad.

I was getting the above error message after I installed IE 8. After trying many things I uninstalled IE 8 and reinstalled IE 7 and the error message stopped.

I switched to using Google Chrome for a few months now. It is quicker and has never crashed. If a web page misbehaves, you can close only that tab and the others keep going. This is one way of getting rid of IExplore errors once and for all.
