Internet Explorer has stopped working message (Help)


Question

This morning when I opened Intrernet Explorer on my Windws 7 PC I got a window that says Internet Explorer has stopped working, and a window at the bottom of the page that says "A problem with this web page caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab".

 

So far I have done the following, all to no avail. Everytime I open Internet Explorer I get the same messages:

 

Changed the home page.

 

Started IE in safe mode (no add ons) I get the same messages even in IE safe mode.

 

Reset IE and reset personal settings.

 

Checked to see if there was a proxy under LAN settings (there isn't.)

 

Uninstalled Java and Silverlight from the PC.

 

Ran Malwarebytes and Hit Man Pro (both found 0 threats).

 

Uninstalled IE 11 to IE 10 (same problem).

 

Uninstalled IE 10 to IE 9 (same problem).

 

Tried to reinstall IE 11 (get message IE 11 did not finish installation).

 

 

Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I'm at my wits end.

Whats the event log say ... in the event viewer?

 

Windows key + R Then type evenvwr and press enter.

 

Then drop down administrative events and find your IE Application crash.

I forgot to mention in my original post that I had booted into safe mode, and the first time I started IE I received the same message but subsequently I was able to run IE in safe mode without a problem.

 

I was just able to reinstall IE 11 but after restarting the PC in normal Windows I still get the same problem.

 

I went into Event Viewer, and clicked on IE and it says : Number of events: 0.

 

I'm at a loss as to what's going on.

Don't look under internet explorer look under Windows logs / applications. The crash will be listed there.
