I used to get the following message popping up occasionally when browsing the internet. Now it comes up every time I close an Internet Explorer window. I use Internet Explorer 8 and have Microsoft Windows XP. I was told to uninstall the Google toolbar but that hasn't made a difference. Full error message reads:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mircosoft Visual C++ Debug LibraryDebug Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
abnormal program termination
(Please Retry to debug the application)
-------------------------------------------------------------------Any suggestions? I've also tried re-setting Internet Explorer to it's default settings but that has also not made a difference. I have also tried uninstalling IE8 but had the same problem with IE7, reinstalling IE8 also made no difference.

Start Internet Explorer. On the Tools menu, click "Internet Options". Under the "Advanced" tab, click to select the "Disable script debugging" check box...clear the "Display a notification about every script error" check box and click "OK".
Let me know what you find here...

Hiya, I've just had a look but the "Disable script debugging" box is already checked and the "Display a notification about every script error" is unchecked.
Any other suggestions?

start > run > write eventvwr.msc > select "Application" item > look for errors whose source should be iexplore.exe or similar

Okay, done that, but all the error's sources seem to mostly be "Application Error" and there are a couple that say "Application Hang". Although under event properties the description reads:
Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 8.0.6001.18702, faulting module kernel32.dll, verstion 5.1.2600.5781, fault address 0x00012afb.
Which means absolutely nothing to me!!

have you installed Acrobat Reader 7, .NET Framework or Microsoft Visual C++ ?
uninstall these applications temporarily
also uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library or similar if installed

I'm just going through my add/remove programs list now. I've got Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 ATL Update and Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.1 and as for the Microsoft .NET Framework, there's
1.1,
1.1 Hotfix,
2.0 Service Pack 2,
3.0 Service Pack 2,
3.5 SP1Should I uninstall them all?

feel free to uninstall them --- you can get them with microsoft update then ( if we concluse that isn`t the problem )

Yeah I tried that to begin with but didn't have any effect, hmm, it might have to be a back up my files and reinstall windows job!
