WLM 2009 and IE8
 

Hi,

I recently have had my laptop go screwy in 2 directions;
First, MSIE8 seems to have stopped working in full functionality, it
can be used for basic functions and browsing of the web, but I've
noticed if I do a search for "Vanity License Plates" that I end up with
a web error page 404, but in firefox that same web page is loading well.
It's very subtle in how the malfunctioning is occurring. This started
abruptly several days ago, I cleaned the computer of all malware/spyware
that could possibly be infecting the computer.

Second, just yesterday, WLM 2009 build 14.xxx.xxx stopped working where
I would log into it, and an error message saying that an error had
occurred and the program needs to be closed. Nothing was changed, this
happened abruptly without cause.

I have tried to fix/reinstall/uninstall what I can for these 2
programs, but this doesn't seem to be working.

HELP! :)

WLM 2009 and IE8
 

Greetings,

Since you have a number of problems here, have you tried simply using the System Restore
feature of Windows to attempt to go back to a previous day when it all was working?

To do so, click Start, then Help & Support, then 'Undo changes to my computer using System
Restore'.

WLM 2009 and IE8
 

Hello,

Thanks for the response. Yes indeed I have tried. It says after the
system restore that this option cannot be done at the time.

As an update, I've uninstalled and reinstalled me IE. I was put back
to a lower version of IE and found that I'm now able to do windows
system updates (but not much of value there) and that while I was in
IE7, I could browse fine but noticed that I had an awful lot of
redirections on webpages. When IE8 was installed back onto the laptop,
the same webpage, I was given a 404 error and told that the webpage
couldn't be loaded.

As far as messenger is concerned, I have tried multiple attempts and
notice that I've got the same crash message with the window popping up
with little evidence (other than some address.x86.dll) where the address
changed but the .x86.dll remains the same. A google search did not
produce any information. I suspect that the messenger problem is
strongly related back to the IE problem.

In all honesty, if I could wipe both clean (without a format), and
reinstall this would be best.
