Hi,
Did you delete the Temporary Internet Files *folder* or just clear out the
files? The TIF folder may be corrupted. Deleting it will allow a new one to
be created. And, the TIF folder (cache) will be less prone to corruption if
you keep it below 100 MB. 50-60 MB is large enough, but not too large for
most users.

yes, I changed the cahche to 50MB and Internet Options/General Delete
Cookies, Delete Files and Clear History. Then I logged out and signed in as
admin and deleted the actual folder. Rebooted and tried to access these sites
again, but with no joy.

Hi,
Sorry. I don't know what to try next...

Use the Privacy Report (e.g. press Alt-V,v)
to see if all the domains referred to are trusted.

Otherwise it may help to be more specific about your symptoms
while discussing a specific example. You can break down the
process of rendering a page by using maximal prompting,
e.g. by modifying the Security settings so that any setting which
is currently enabled is changed to a prompt.

In addition when a prompt occurs you will be able to take note
of any other changes which have happened between prompts.
In particular you can be more aware of changes in the Status bar,
Title bar, and Address bar; so it is a good idea to do your testing
in a maximized window to be able to capture as much of that information
as possible.

To provide maximum prompting safely I suggest you change only settings
which are currently Enabled (e.g. Green dot beside the Enable choice.)
The procedure I use then to do this is:
1. doubleclick on the security zone icon in the IE status bar
(to open the Security settings dialog)
2. click Default Level (to reset settings to Medium)
3. click on Custom Level
4. press P (finds the first/next Prompt choice)
5. if Enable for that option is green press Space
(changes the Enable choice to Prompt)
6. repeat to 4 through 5 to the end of the list.

When you are through testing repeat steps 1 and 2.


Note: the above diagnostic is especially useful when you know
what a successful sequence of prompts for a particular site should look like.
That's why I suggest discussing a particular example. Then others can
tell you where your sequence diverges from theirs. Etc.

Not too sure what I am doing, but clicked on one of the initial links and
ended up looking through files (not making changes or saving anything!!):-

So in System Information/Tool/Dr Watson....Application error:-
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe c0000005 flash(1001CFD3)


Moire info:-
Application exception occurred:
App: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe (pid=752)
When: 13/12/2005 @ 20:33:44.281
Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

Could this have anythign to do withn it? I will continue to read through
both the replies...

Thanks

Ok. I guess you have been reading some of my replies to others? ;}

This shows that the crashing module is flash
BTW was there no extension listed? E.g. flash.ocx perhaps?

Don already had you looking at View Objects to remove damaged ones.
Now that you know which one is involved in a crash perhaps you should
remove it too even if it doesn't show as damaged. After you remove it
and go to a site which features Flash content you should be prompted
to go to the Macromedia site (assuming it is still called that.) to download
the latest version of the plugin.

This shows that you have found a drwtsn32.log (or viewed and copied
the first few lines of a dump using drwtsn32.exe). The most useful part
is the Stack Back Trace which follows the line prefixed by FAULT ->
(in an English dump). Please don't post a whole dump to the newsgroup.

In this case it would just be additional detail to show how the crash in
flash.ocx was occurring.

Try getting rid of the Flash object you have now
and see if your symptoms change.

BTW I can find only an indirect reference to flash.ocx
using the Shockwave Flash Object Properties, General tab.
E.g. on mine I see ID: {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
I had to take that CLSID, open RegEdit and do a find in there for a key
which is named that. Then expand that to show its InprocServer32 subkey.
That subkey contains a direct full reference to the flash.ocx module.


Good luck

Robert
