A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close
the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Internet Explorer 8

I get that message daily, at least 3 times a day, regardless of where I
surf.

I'm told it is Skype (http://www.skype.com) related but I have the latest
Skype too.

Uninstall Skype?

Microsoft have fix yet?

Skype's page doesn't list one - yet that I can find.

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE in No Add-ons mode:

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer's (No Add-ons) Mode:

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed, is your
subscription current, and is it supported in IE8? What anti-spyware
applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Were any of these applications running in the background when you installed
IE8?

4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

I removed Skype.
I've not tried No Add Ons mode yet.
I've not tried Reset IE Advanced Settings RIES
I use Microsofts Anti Virus, up to date too.
I use Defender & Windows Firewall.
All were running in the background
A trial version of Norton 360 was removed a long, long time ago.

One assumes uninstalling Skype Toolbar resolved the problem. That being
said...

> A trial version of Norton 360 was removed a long, long time ago.

1. Download the Norton Removal Tool, saving it to your desktop:
ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/englis...moval_Tool.exe

2. Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the taskbar).

3. Right-click on the file you saved in #1 above and select Run as
Administrator to run the utility. Don't TOUCH your keyboard until the run
completes, then reboot.
