dll (WME)

[schemichael]

when in iexplore i randomly get the message "Iexplore has caused an error in mshtml.dll" it then shuts iexplore down. Also when in windows explorer it comes up with error in comctl32.dll and shuts the program down. Any ideas?

I'd upgrade to the latest service pack of your particular browser, if you haven't already.

This will update both files.

What version are you running at the moment (Internet Explorer > help > info)

You could also try to repair IE: Control Panel > Software add/remove > MS Internet Explorer > Remove > Repair your version of IE.

schemichael,

Tony's solution will most likely correct the problem.

if you need further help, try these links:

Uninstall Gator software if you have it installed.

Additionally, Iexplore page faults in Mshtml.dll can be caused by cache problems:

Start up with a boot disk, and type the following at the MS-DOS prompt, each line followed by pressing 'enter':

c:
cd windows
smartdrv
deltree history
deltree tempor~1
exit or win (to return to Windows)

It can never hurt to try this as well.
