chuck fickens help
I keep getting a box up with status at the top it says 'the feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disc that is not available. Insert status disc & click ok. in a box below its got 1 & browse by the side which leads you to File name status Istallation Package (*.msi).and when you try to go online another box comes up saying Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close down, click here for more info then it 's got C;\DOCUME 1 \LOCALS 1\
I have tried reinstalling windows which works until you switch off your computer, but the status box still comes up, I have disinstalled McAfee because it kept saying you are at risk & there's only 4 days left on it anyway......

I've done a bit of Googling and repeatedly found references to the problem being linked to HP printer software. e.g. see here:

So, if you've got an HP printer, uninstall it and then reinstall. (If not, I apologise for wasting your time. Chuck will probably crawl out of the White Hart shortly!).

Thanks for the reply. You can probably download the software from here. (I can't check because I don't know your printer model):

I used to get that (before I changed printers) and I reckon that it's a manifestation of a problem with Windows Installer that caused me to post this question http://www.theanswerb...s/Question893809.html which includes a link to download Windows Installer.
Hi Buenchico, so far so good I've got rid of the msi rubbish by unistalling HP Printer, now

Sadly I wasn't down the pub yesterday :(
Look like Chris covered part one of your question perfectly anyhow :)
I'd try running internet explorer without any add-ons enabled, as it's normally the add-ons that cause IE to crash.
Click start > all program > accessories > system tools > internet explorer (no add-ons)
Clicking the above will run IE with none of your add-ons enabled, if it runs OK and doesn't crash it's almost certainly a bad add-on, so it's time to disable all add-ons and then start enabling them one by one to see which caused the problems. (let us know if it works without the add-ons and we will go onto disabling them all)

that sounds like you still have IE6 installed??
If you have then you really should upgrade to a later version, version8 is the latest and installing that should solve the problem.
