I am getting error message as follows:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
Abnormal program termination.

I disabled all add-ons but to no avail.
I posted this on ms news group but got no response.
Things I can think of to fix this is to restore a restore point, restore the backup or reinstall the OS. Is there better solution than the above?

Could anyone help?

Edit: Creation of restore point is disabled so it is not available.

check in device manager for any problems first.

Update your video driver.

Thanks for your reply.
I do not see any problem on Device Manager.
I updated the display driver to the latest version but it did not help(It was a good opportunity to do so though).

try flushing your dns

open a command prompt and type this "ipconfig /flushdns" without the quotation marks

I did it but no luck yet.

Do know how to clear all your temp internet files, cookis, and history and if that doesn't work.

go to the tools menu of IE; then options; then the advanced tab; and click on the reset button

I have done everything as suggested but still the same error message persists.

Well you could uninstall I.E. 7 and then reinstall it with windows update and see if that helps

I thought IE could never be uninstalled. How can it be uninstalled?

Go to control panel; programs and features, and uninstall it
