After Internet Explorer update 942615, this last patch Tuesday, Internet Explorer will crash unexpectly. Microsoft has released a patch to fix the problem.

My Thoughts:

come on Microsoft - I’m a single Developer and test to make sure my software works. How hard can it be to install XP, the updates (minus IE7) and apply the patch and start surfing?

Anywho, there’s a registry fix for the problem posted on gHacks Technology News that I’m reposting here.

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
4. Type FEATURE_PROTECT_DECOMPRESSION_FILTER_FROM_ABORT_KB942367, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click FEATURE_PROTECT_DECOMPRESSION_FILTER_FROM_ABORT_KB942367, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
6. Type an asterisk (*), and then press ENTER. Note The asterisk (*) represents any process name that uses the Urlmon.dll file. If you want to make this change for an individual application that uses the Urlmon.dll file, use the name of that application instead of the asterisk. For example, use Appname.exe.
7. Right-click the asterisk, and then click Modify.
8. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
9. Exit Registry Editor.

Internet Explorer 6 crashes when loading websites after update

A good friend of mine recently redid his website design and it looks awesome. He has been giving people tech advice for a LOOONG time and is really good about boiling it down to “this is what is wrong, these are the thing you are able to do, here’s what I would do”. He reads alot of technology news to try and stay up to date. I also know he is an Leo Laporte junkie and listens to TWiT and Leo’s radio show on KFI (San Francisco) religously.

Any freeware he finds in his experiences, or hears on TWiT/KFI, or learns from a friend - he will usually mirror on his website and explain what the actual software does.

He’s also an amateur photographer (meaning he doesn’t get paid for his work) and has alot of brilliant shots posted on Picasa.

Look him up, I’m sure I’ll probably have him write a few articles here and maybe even contribute regularly.

Good Information in this post. Also don’t forget winsockxpfix. Sometimes when removing the torjan, virus, etc it messes with your tcpip stack and it needs to be reinstalled or reset. Winsockxpfix resets everything so using an easy interface, instead of using netsh.
