Microsoft’s Internet problems

Sometimes, people open pages in my web-sites in Windows Internet Explorer which then crashes, after first showing this message:

The first option

I first read how Internet Explorer cannot deal with spaces surounding code-tags. I removed all whitespaces that are not linguistically functional, in over 4200 files. This didn’t do anything. Nor for the bad BTW, in some places things seem to be dealt with in more elegant manner.

The second option

It is a Microsoft-problem. Suggestions like the following supposedly help:

• – You can try this : start-run-msconfig-startup – uncheck PrevADServe.exe from list, ok. Reboot.
• – This may not work for you, but for me I went into c:winntinf folder and deleted all the “IE” related files. In may case there were 4 files with names like “ie.inf” “ie.pcf” “ie2.inf”. Those aren’t the exact names….but it’s names like that. Delete them all then reboot. Problem solved.
• – I deleted all the “IE” related files. Rebooted and the error is gone.
• – the problem was solved on re-installing the application 3-4 times. but this doesn’t help in the other cases.
• – Uninstalling MS IIS (Internet Information Services (IIS)) might help

Microsoft has something to say about it as well, in their Help and Support-pages.

I am probably the only one who spent precious hours of my life understanding all this.
