How to Fix Internet Explorer Errors

 Windows' default browser has been a favourite target of viruses, trojans, and malware. If your computer is experiencing unexpected slow down and Internet Explorer or "IE" is the likely culprit, here are some remedies to get you out of that slump.





Note: Some issues that you are experiencing may appear in other forms. Please feel free to apply the closest possible fix or fixes below for iexplore.exe:


Issue #1: The IE exe file is missing


Scenario: After clicking your usual shortcuts (e.g. Start Menu, Desktop), your computer cannot find its location.


Solution:


Find it on your computer. Go to Start > Search Programs and Files (or on your keyboard, press F3)

Locate iexplore.exe using the search tool

Once found, create a copy of it

Go to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer and paste the file to the rightful location.

Fire up your shortcuts again

Issue #2: Iexplore.exe application error (followed by various error codes)


Scenario: Whenever you attempt to launch it, Windows encounters an exception error. It then fails to launch.


Solution #1:


Open the Start Menu and go to All Programs > Accessories > System Tools

Click on Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)

Go to Run Programs

In iexplore.exe, click on Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > Manage add-ons

Disable add-ons that are not from Microsoft Corporation

Close it and re-open it normally

Solution #2:


Alternatively, you may access it via command prompt:


Type cmd and press Enter

In the command prompt window, type cd c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer

Type iexplore.exe -extoff and press Enter (this is one of the its switches meant to disable add-ons)

In iexplore.exe, click on Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > Manage add-ons

Disable add-ons that are not from Microsoft Corporation

Close it and re-open it normally

Solution #3: Reset its settings (applies to Windows 8/8.1 users only)


Go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab

Click Reset

Once the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box opens, click Reset

After it is done reverting back to its default settings, click Close then click OK

Close it and re-open it normally

Issue #3: IE is not responding

Scenario: Whenever you open a new window or tab and navigate to a certain site, it freezes up

Solution:


Open the Task Manager

- Press "CTRL + ALT + DELETE then click Start Task Manager" or


- Press "CTRL + SHIFT + ESC "to immediately launch Task Manager


Go to the Processes tab

Look for processes named "iexplore.exe *32" that are consuming a high number of memory

Select on each process. Then click End Process.


Issue #4: Iexplore.exe running in the background but no IE is opened


Scenario: It is using high CPU allocation but no instance of IE can be seen. This may be causing your browser or your computer to crash regularly or respond very slowly.


Solution:


Open the Task Manager (please use the shortcuts found in the previous steps)

Go to the Processes tab

Look for processes named iexplore.exe 32 that are consuming a high number of memory

Instead of clicking End Process, right click the select End Process Tree

Note: It is technically not a virus. However, an iexplore.exe virus or malware might have found itself in your computer and is disguising as the actual browser itself.


If such as is the case, the workarounds mentioned earlier might just work temporarily (or worse, not at all) as this IE virus 2014 have possibly embedded itself in your system's registry.


A more robust iexplore.exe virus removal is still possible through the use of a virus removal tool or a free registry cleaner. This can greatly help you in providing a more permanent solution in your woes (and in your other software with similar issues), without the need for a fresh install of IE or Windows.


There is no need to be in constant panic mode whenever the de facto Windows browser is not having a good day. You can easily overcome whatever temper tantrum it throws at you with a few simple clicks and tricks up your sleeve.

Technology in E-Learning

 A couple of months ago I registered for a webinar on Web 2.0 in E-Learning. It was hosted by the ASTD, the American society for training and development with two guest speakers from renowned universities . The day of the event I signed in and waited for the webinar to begin; however it all played out differently than anyone had expected. Initially the audience was not able to understand the organizers of the webinar: There was way too much static. After ten minutes of configuration on the ASTD side, the problem had been resolved, the hosts apologized for the inconvenience and we were assured that the system had been tested the night before and everything used to work. Once the guest speakers were introduced and control was handed over to the first presenter, the same problem manifested itself all over again: The audience was not able to understand a single word and in the end it was decided to postpone the session. Around 40 people had just wasted half an hour of their valuable t...
