Hi when I try to open certain URL's, programs I receive the following message: Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\Internet explorer\iexplore.exe Abnormal Program termination I ran "sfc /scannow" without any improvement. When I click "ok" to the message the window
crashes. I also receive the following error message when I open Asus Probe 2:
Access violation 3247476f in module cp3240 mt.dll write of address 00940000.
I guess my real problem is I don't know what I'm dealing with in regard to "MS visual c ++…etc. I checked out IE and found that only Java (Sun) 2v1.4.2 -04 is selected. To be
quite frank the more research I do the more confused I become. The one thread running through all of this is that there is some connection between "Runtime
error" and "The access violation for the Asus Probe2" The probe still
functions except it no longer records. Can anybody tell me what the problem is and how to correct it? Thanks for your help.
System: XP home edition,IE 6 version, SP2
PS I have the latest updated versions of SpyBot, Ad Aware, SpyBlaster and the system is clean of any adware or maleware
