Hi,
There are many different causes of this error. The most likely cause is a
plugin or other addin to IE that is not functioning correctly. Gohip.com
is a common item, but other add in programs to IE may also cause the issue.
To resolve:
1. Go into add/remove programs and remove programs that are IE related.
Some common problem causers are gohip.com, netscape tune-up, and Common
Name Toolbar.
2. If that does not correct the problem, remove all items from the
"downloaded program files" folder.
3. If that fails, open IE, go to "view" and then "toolbars". Determine if
there are any non native toolbars and remove from add/remove programs if
there are.
4. Update to the newest version of IE or run a repair. Occasionally
corrupted IE components can cause this problem.
5. Here are the details of a similar support case:
Sample1:
Action:
Trying to browse the internet
Result:
Getting an error when opening browser "The Microsoft Visual C ++ runtime
library.
Runtime error Program C:\windows\explorer.exe abnormal Program
termination."
Cause:
It seems like a problem with the homepage set in your browser
Resolution/Recommendation:
We changed the homepage to MSN and the problem didn't come up any more
Sample 2:
ACTION: Tried to get into the Internet.
RESULT: Could not get to the Internet.
CAUSE: Spyware on the computer.
RESOLUTION: We removed the spyware, and we can now connect to the Internet.
Either of these should resolve your issue.
Hope this helps
With Regards,
Asima
