Need some computer help

[SpongeScott]

My IE is shutting down with a fatal error on some websites. For example, I get shut down if I visit foxnews.com, sixflags.com, and other random sites.

The message that comes up lists the file mshtml.dll.

Does anyone know why this is happening and what can I do to correct the problem?

What are you doing on sixflags.com?! :lol:

I read earlier that because of a virus attack some places (like Yahoo, among others) were having trouble staying online.
Maybe this is your problem.

Busted!!! :lol: I was looking for the cost of a season ticket in case we ever get reasonably close to a SF park since my son is so enamored with them.

I am going to assume that you are using Windows 98 or Windows ME. Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Internet Explorer version 5.5 for Windows Millennium Edition. You need to download a new version of IE here:

:brick: :brick: :brick: Thanks, Woody. Exactly what I needed, but BOTH of the sites that I can download it from crashes my IE with my problem. I'll make a hard copy and install it from there. I really do appreciate the info.

Glad to hear back from you! :wave: You didn't say what version of Windows you are using. If you have Windows ME, then you can download and use IE version 6. Glad that I could help.

Yes, I'm using ME. I'll go to my neighbor's house and download a copy of IE 6. Thanks again!

Yes, I'm using ME.

Well, that would be what's causing the problem :lol:

Go figure......it was the greatest thing since sliced bread when it came out; you know, we'll solve world peace with ME. Just another pain in the buttocks.

Hope it works out for you. We used ME for just a few months before we switched to XP...hated it!

*random thought* let peace begin with ME....

That sounds like a song.....

"Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with ME..."

Do you think Bill Gates is looking for world domination subliminally with his Windows version and that song? :lookaroun

I'll crawl back under my rock now.

You know me too well. :lol:

That song has been stuck in my head all morning. :brick:

Sounds good. After you install the new IE 6, be sure to go to Windows Update and check for critical and security updates. :wave:

Thanks once again. My neighbor downloaded it for me, it's installed, it's working perfectly. Now I can access sixflags.com! :lol:

Your help is greatly appreciated, Woody! :wave: :sohappy: :king:

Now that we have Windows ME, we no longewr have to worry about world peace ever bothering us again!

No.

I think it's pretty blatant, not subliminal.
