evertime i try to get onto a internet site i keep getting this "program error" that says

"iexplore.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program.An error log is being created."

its really pissing me off cause i cant get onto any sites on my laptop can anyone help. i got no idea what to do.

have a read of this: <a href='http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=303728' target='_blank'>http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=303728</a>
it seems the main problem with be either if you have zone alarm installed or CleanSweep, although i think there are possible other reasons.

well the main computer(windows 98) of the house has zone alarm and works fine..but the laptop(windows 2000) is haveing the problem and it doesnt have aone alarm but they are both hooked up through the same router if that could have any thingto do with it.

wouldn't think it affect it.
i've never actually come across this problem before, just did hte search and that microsoft support came up near the top.

if norton isn't on the laptop, are any of the following programs installed?:

Go!Zilla
BearShare
MP3.com
iMesh
Babylon
Cydoor

lol. Yeah, I had problems w/Zone Alarm too. It wouldn't shut IE down, but unless I turned it on, none of my browsers would go anyway.

So ZA is on my list of things to kill.

well my problem isnt getting my browser to go away its getting the browser to actually work

try installing netscape and using that instead of IE... I have to use it now to reafd my emails cos IE is all fucked up with some random search bar that routes half my sites through it's own crappy search and means I can't log in... FUCK MYSEARCH.COM!!!!!!!!!

remove the search bar from add/remove programs... 99% of the time they're stupid enough to make the installer register it in there.

thanks for the idea nataku...but instead of installing netscape..i just upgrade the browser to IE6 and now it works..now my problem is figuring it our how to make it faster...what exactly is it that controls the speed of the computer?

well it depends on how you mean.... if ur on about ur web speed it's how big ur bandwidth is and how it's split between ur computer and your other computer.....

no its evrything on the laptop thats slow....if i have just one application out it runs ectremley slow... i need to figur out what makes the comp so slow

lack of ram and/or lack of freespace.... also u might have alot of programs runnign in the background which uses up memory....

i think it might be both. Im not sure how much space this thing came with. but i looked at the compaq site. the basic model of this computer comes with 4 gb but the highest model was 9gb. but i honestly dont know what it is cause i got it for free. its a compaq armada 1700. but i think ill look into getting more ram. if its possible to do that to a laptop. i really dont know..i need some help here.

If I'm notmistaken, that runs on a P2 . . . it's a pretty slow computer compared to what you're used to . . . could that be it?

yea it does run off a P2. could that be it?..Im not really sure what a processor does. but if thats my problem does anyone know how i could upgrade it?
