internet explorer crashes

I reinstalled windows cuz I thought that would fix my problem. But It still crashes, I have tried to install mcafee on this thing and it has major problems. I am not sure what to do. Things are closing on me all the time, mcafee crashed when I was installing it. Can someone please help me, I had lots of problems before and came here for help and just gave up and formatted but that fixed some of the problems but not this one.

 

Your title says "internet explorer crashes". The description of your problem would indicate a system problem. Which is it? What OS, computer specs, etc.?
More information is needed here before anyone can help.

 

I am running window xp pro, sp3.
pentium 4 cpu 2.40 GHZ
2.30 GHz 1.00 GB ram
internet explorer version 6.

I do not have any question marks in device manager,
I only have 2 X's beside the two ethernet cards I disabled
because I installed a wireless connection, But I had
this problem before I put that in the computer.

Also I do not have any virus scanner on here, I had put in
one but it didnt work, so I tried to install
mcafee but that one wont work either, I deleted both of
them.


this is the error I got when I tried to go
into device manager

Microsoft Management Console has encountered
a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience.


one of the crashes in internet explorer says,


Internet explorer has encountered a problem with
an add-on and needs to close.

The following add-on was running when this problem occured
flash 10d.ocx
adobe systems incorp
adobe flash player

then I got another one that said
Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and
needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I had this problem before I installed adobe.


I hope this helps.

 

So you are getting both system and browser crashes? Halo asked about safe mode, does it still crash there.

No anti-virus? Can't install one? Before you spend time on a repair, I'd suggest you run the READ AND RUN ME FIRST,

Many times you will be able to get the necessary scanners in safe mode with networking, or you can use a portable device from a different computer.

Also, if you can get to the safe mode, run IE with no add-ons, (start, accessories, system tools, internet explorer no add-on).

There are system/browser fixes that could be done, but I think you should first see if your machine is infected.

 

I cannot get into safe mode, I have tried and tried, I even constantly hit f8 repeatedly but I cannot get into safe mode for some reason, I will run the read and run me first and let you know what happens, thankyou for your help so far.

 

I keep getting an error in mgtools. I installed the .net thing but that didnt help, the error i get is

---------------------------
ProcessDll.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services

Also, when I opened internet explorer it said,

internet explorer is currently not your default browser. Would you
like to make it your default browser?

this is the only browser I have on here, and when I am loading windows I see two options for windows, but it goes by so fast I am not sure what the two options are and I can't click on anything, It just boots to windows.

 

here is what i got with mgtools

 

Fire,
You need to start a thread and post these in the Malware Removal section. This section is for software issues. It may take a day or more for somebody to take your case then, due to the backload.
Post back here when you've been given the all clean, if you are having problems still.
Best of Luck!

 

but the antivirus didn't find anything, I am not sure what I am suppose to say on the malware board if there was none found?

 

Im sorry I misunderstood what I was asked to do, I thought I was told to do the read and run me first to make sure my system was clean. Please disregard those attachments, as nothing was found anyways.

 

You should get rid of messenger with this:

Your combo fix did indicate some problems. Can you boot into sage mode now?

I would also get rid or all toolbars and upgrade your IE to 8, but when doing so, chose the custom installation and decline or say no to all of the options you are given. IE6 is vulnerable.

If you can post a list of your autorun programs, you could get more help.

Also, download and run dialafix. Check all the tabs.

well unfortunately I already installed IE8, but when I installed windows xp, i did a full format in the options before installing windows. I did this because when I got this computer it already had this problem and things just got worse from there, supposely I got this from a computer programmer who should know what he is doing??

 

so you telling me I may not be able to fix this then?

 

I just want to let you know I figured out the problem, I opened the tower and found everything extremely hot, the fan was not working, now i think i fried my hard drive and ram, oh well, not much i can do now. thanks for all the help you did give me to figure out the problem, greatly appreciated.
