hi there.
i wanted to install adobe photoshop CS3. but each time i tried, i was asked to close my IE when it was not even open at all.
i tried to end process at task manager but it just wont help. each time i end, it just keep re-appearing. :/
i even tried to uninstall IE at installed updates. it still doesnt help.
i heard that i could actually rename C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe to sth else like C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.ex_ but how do i go abt renaming it???
or does anyone know of any better solutions to this??
ur help is greatly appreciated

This is probably a silly question, but have you tried restarting? My computer gives me the same problems with keeping the Internet Explorer process open even after I've closed it, and usually it does just fine after a quick reboot.

You could also try setting the priority of 'iexplore.exe' to 'low,' but I'm not sure if that will result in anything because your computer is asking you to close the process, not just ignore it for a while.

There could also potentially be another program that's hindering something in the machine, that seems completely unrelated (I've had that happen to me before). Have you installed any other programs recently before this problem?

Sorry I can't give you more help. Hopefully this problem works itself out.
