CrabbyX Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I'm having a problem with my computer. Since this morning, all programs (that I know of) that access the net give the error "{program} has encountered a problem and needs to close" when doing so. Some programs include: Internet Explorer (which is strange because when I start windowsupdate.microsoft.com from my start menu it works without a problem) gives this error Outlook Express (takes slightly longer to give error) AVG Antivirus (when updating, and which I believe now crashes the entire computer (shuts down) if I leave it scanning away) Mozilla Firefox Opera Spybot S & D (when trying to 'update') Hopefully you can see the correlation. In addition to this, I can simply drag the error window out of the way and continue using the program just fine. What I found this morning at first though, was an error on startup (of XP) saying that 'radio.exe' had crashed in the same way. I checked through and found a new exe, radio.exe, all alone, in C:\Program Files\Free Radio\, so naturally, I deleted it. So far I've also tried: Updating ethernet card driver Removing Office 2000 Removing a program I didn't recognise in Add/Remove, called something like 'Dream{something} DLL'. ...to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
