Hello All,

I have a problem - IE8 has suddenly stopped working. I was doing some development work, and suddenly IE8 crashed every time I tried to use it.

I've rebooted, but still crash every time I try to open it.

There is no real indication as to what has gone wrong. It just says "Internet Explorer has stopped working".

I've tried almost everything that I've seen when I've Googled it:

  • I disabled all Add-Ins via Manage Add-Ins, but it still crashes on startup*
  • I re-registered IEPROXY.DLL

* The thing I don't understand is that if I start from the Run box with the -extoff option, IE starts up. Isn't that the same as disabling all Add-Ins?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
wTs
