Internet Explorer 8 is very good because it is as stable as Opera. I hate the previous versions of IE like IE6 because it hangs frequently. ~

I never would have gotten the notion to look at things like this. This is going to make my day much easier.

Just for the record: the problem described is *not* created by IE8. It was created by your security software (read: virusscanner) which was overly eager to disallow the IE8 setup program to write some necessary lines to the registry. Because of this the system wasn’t able to register this dll and you had to do it manually.
And you should clean your blog from spam! All the comments that have links to websites are obviously fakes!

Internet Explorer 8 is as stable as Opera and Firefox. it does not crash a lot like IE7.

First, 64 bit Vista is not ready for prime time, nor is 32 bit, but nobody appears to have written 64 bit drivers yet, 2 years after this latest “Millennium” fiasco. Microsoft has evidently working on only security issues for the past several years, and it shows in their apps. All effort appears to have bypassed Vista, so I hope that Windows 7 shows that some care was taken in its development. I have been working on computers since 1966, and always wonder why marketing thinks that “new” is better than “working”.

That said, Firefox crashes a lot under Vista; gives me “can’t open that page” type of msgs. I finally went back to IE8. Then, by accident, I found that I have 2 IE8s on my system. One is 64bit, and one is plain (compat mode?). I have less problems in the plain one. I don’t know why they have 2 IE8s. Why not one good one which runs on 32bit or 64bit PCs?

[...] wrote an article about this problem a while back – but it seems that the fix is relevant to more than just 64-bit [...]

I guess it didn’t fix it. It just happened again. Any suggestions on my problem will be greatly appreciated. When I open internet explorer 2 extra processes start and they keep the cpu at 100% of it’s usage capacity. I have to open the task manager and close these extra processes. Even when I close the internet explorer if I look at the task manager its processes are still running. Please Help!

thanx for the fix. my internet explorer had been openning additional processes and using up my whole cpu. I think this fix did it. I hope so anyway. It hasn’t done it again, yet.
