WSAENOTSOCK Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hey, sorry to be gone for so long. Anyways, I am having troubles with Internet Explorer, and/or any other larger programs.

Go to Internet Explorer, and it just... disappears. pop, vamooshe. gone. Whats happening?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StateCop Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Well short of a virus which it doesnt sound like it sound like a memory issue. WindowsXP usually does a great job taking care of memory but it sound something is a foot in this case. I have seen this before however if you get a an error message and then it goes away after you click ok then it is not memory but a error with XP. If you see that click on details and copy the info if you can so we can try to track it down. If it is an error problem with how windows is working then the best way short of fresh install would be to use the restore option to send your OS back to an earlier date when you know it worked.Tell me a little more about how long it has been going on and any other wierd stuff your system has been doing. If you see any error messages make sure to let me know what they are. I fixed my Lt. home computer the other day and his was doing something very much like this but he got an error first. By checking the info/details on the error I was able to find what program was crashing the system which btw was a new printer driver he had installed.As I am sure you know windows can be like practicing medicine .....there is not always a cut and dry answer.
