Internet explorer error in ME
does anyone know what is happening and or how to fix the
following: 1. Cannot open Internet Explorer off desktop.(so consequently can't get to internet.) Recently had comcast broadband conncected, but this had appeared before that. 2. Error message appears: Explorer has cause an error in vx2.dll. This will now close. and then it restarts automatically, but becomes circular i.e. "Explore has cased an error... etc. 3. Re-starting does nothing. 4. Cannot open search function at all off the Start button. I was thinking to look for viruses. 5. Cannot right click on Explorer icon on desktop to track down Explore version. Same error message appears. 6. Sometimes a more detailed error message appears on a completely blue screen: Explorer has caused an invalid page fault in module vx2.dll@ 0187:02e8eea. 7. Have run Norton Antivirus, scanned computer. No results. 8. Is this a virus? And if it is, I can't download a patch since I can't get to internet. Any thoughts? I went to the ME error message site from another computer. Of course the ME error messages listed do not mirror my message. Thanks for any assistance. |
