When trying to launch Internet Explorer 5 I get an "illegal operation" error, details as follows:

IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in
module SHELL32.DLL at 017f:7fcb1946.

I am running Netscape Communicator also. I have tried reinstalling IE to no avail.

I have received advice from Toshiba support bulletin to uncheck "launch browser in separate proccess" option in adanced internet settings but this choice does not appear when
I click the advanced tab in the Internet settings.

Thanks in advance.

hi Will
try this help you
1. Using Registry Editor, delete all values in the following registry key:

2. Delete all keys in the following registry key:

more inform by mail
best regards

Any more instructions?

Could someone respond as to whether or not the registry "Fix" above worked? AM reluctant to go into registry without further confirmation. Getting illegal operations errors (I.E.) at weird times, like while scrolling on a webpage. I've tried to use my "Go back" utility (ConfiSafe 3.0.x) but eventually the error resurfaces.
