IE shutdown problem

Suddenly, IE doesn't shut down normally as it always has in the past. This
occurs with the Close Window X, the File/Close pulldown, or R-Click on the
Task Bar item/close. Instead of simply shutting down, I get the "This
program has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution" routine
every time. Since it only happens when I'm trying to shut it down anyway,
it isn't a real problem, but it's annoying and shouldn't be happening.

MSIE 7 ver.7.0.6001.18000
Vista Home Premium w/SP-1

Any suggestions?

Thanx,

Buddha

I ran the suggested scan/repair function twice, but the IE problem still
persists. There seems to be no report generated anywhere stating what
caused the problem.

Any other ideas?

Thanx,

No more fix ideas. You, I, and many others are seeing this on shutdown. It
seems to be a hardware driver problem with some current update. You could
pull out updates one at a time till it fixed, then add back all but that
one. My take on it is to just wait for MS to issue a fix/improved update.
I'm going to give it a few weeks more, and then remove the problem update
myself.

Since IE still functions OK, and this is more of an annoyance than anything
else, I believe I'll do the same.

Have you checked out IE8 BETA to see if it does the same thing?

The Google Toolbar seems to have been the culprit, although I don't know
why. It never caused any problems until yesterday. As suggested, I DLd the
IE8 Beta, and the problem went away. When I noticed my Google Toolbar was
gone, I reinstalled it, and the problem came back with the new IE8. I
uninstalled the toolbar, and the problem went away again. Why it suddenly
started causing problems is still unknown, at least by me. I tried the
latest Beta of the toolbar, but the problem persists.

Weird.

I had the toolbar installed in IE7 and had no problem like you
described. Same with IE8 BETA. AND with the Google BETA toolbar.

Whatever, you seem to have come across a fix for your situation.
