IE8 and ActiveX Control issues.....

[Sisil K.]

I've recently upgraded from IE7 to IE8, and I'm running Windows XP with SP3.
My problem with IE8 stems from using Facebook. Whenever I try to upload
photo's, first, I'm told I must install ActiveX Controls, and all of a
sudden, an error message pops up. The message says, and I quote;

"iexplore.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x10160068" referenced memory at "0x10160068". The
memory could not be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program"

When I click on OK, all the page tabs get blocked with a small message
saying "Web Page Error - Internet Explorer has closed this page to help
protect your computer". I can't browse the Internet until I close and restart
IE8.
If I click on CANCEL, the the browser hangs, until it either exits by
itself, or I have to close it using Task Manager.

I haven't an idea what to do! Please help, someone!
Thanks, Sisil K.

Hi Sisil,

Do you have the Google toolbar installed?

If so, uninstall it (and the GoogleToolbarUpdate notifier) from the
Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs applet. Restart your computer.

Go to toolbar.google.com to download and install the latest IE8 compatible
version of the Google toolbar.

Also, accept the default security zone settings for IE, Tools>Internet
Options - Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"

Post back if you still have no joy... You have an incompatible IE Addon and
we can give you instructions on how to troubleshoot the problem. (the google
toolbar problem is the most common one, and your error message indicates
that this is the cause.)

Regards.
