Hi
About a week ago I started getting an error message pop up every time I tried opening Internet Explorer: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)."
I mentioned it to a friend who suggested I try upgrade IE to version 6, which I did, but I still have the same problem. He also asked if I had installed anyone's toolbar, such as Google's or Yahoo's, but I hadn't doen that either.
I use AOL, but do most web browsing through IE. If I open a folder and then use the favourites dropdown or type a URL in the address bar, I get the web access okay, although hyperlinks only work 50% of the time. On-screen buttons (such as the 'Manage Attachments' button further down the current page) don't work, unless viewed or used through AOL.
I know, I could just browse through AOL, but that's not the point.
I've run HJT, and can't see anything suspicious there, but have attached the logfile just in case. Fact is, I know precious little about how the computer / OS and whatever else works.
If anyone has any advice or practical help, I'd appreciate it.
