Default Buffer Overrun ?????

I keep receiving this message and have to go to system restore to make the
system work again. It will run about 30 minutes and the message will come up
again. It only happens when I try to work on line does anyone no what this
means and what I need to do to correct it. I am running XP in a Dell 2700
with 256mgs mgs ram.
Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library

Program:C\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal

What version of Internet Explorer are you using? What Service Pack level is
your XP (Home? Pro?) at?

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed
between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

Malke,

What Andrew said may have nothing to do with the problem, but an XP SP3
machine will hardly run. Memory is so cheap, I keep half a dozen 1GB chips
on hand. Takes me a couple of months before I have to resupply.

I have plenty of clients running XP with only 256MB of RAM. I agree with you
that 512MB or 1GB is preferable and RAM is cheap, but to say that "an XP
SP3 will hardly run" with 256MB of RAM is inaccurate.

Malke you are wrong. 256MB of RAM is not enough! Maybe back in the days of
SP1. Todays Anti-Virus plus firewall would make a XP machine with 256MB of
RAM undesirable and unenjoyable. Bare minumum would be 768MB. I personally
would not suggest anything under 1GB!

No, false MVP, *you* are wrong. You obviously do not have a good grasp of
technical issues and since you refuse to post a link to your MVP profile
you obviously are not an MVP. A person who would lie about being an MVP is
not a person who can be trusted about anything.
