Application Error

11rock66 · 01-13-2006, 10:50 PM

Hi Everybody,

I have been having this problem for about 2 months now. It started by it's self and I've done everything to get rid of it. Every time I try to open my internet browser it gives this message.

iexplore.exe-Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005) click on OK to terminate the application.

I've reran Internet explorer 6 though so many times and had everybody tell me there's nothing can be done I find this very hard to believe. I don't know much about software so I'm stuck.

Any help out there will be greatly appreciated,

Most likely cause? You have a trojan or spyware which is telling windows that it is part of IE. When you launch IE and windows tries to launch it too, then it does not behave as expected it blames IE and crashes it.
