I have upgraded IE 8 from IE 6 on XP PRO SP2. It starts and open some
websites but when i try to download a file or some other web site like
youtube it starts giving "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and
needs to close. if you are in a middle of .................. " the error
leads to:

Error Signature:
AppName: iexplore.exe
AppVer: 8.0.6001.18702
ModName: mshtml.dll
ModVer: 8.0.6001.18702
Offset: 0029d1b2

Whats wrong and how can i resolve this?

[Crosspost to IE General]

Why hasn't WinXP SP3 been installed by now? [Extended Support for WinXP
(x86) SP2 ends on 13 July 2010. After that date, computers running WinXP
(x86) SP2 will NOT be offered any further critical security updates,
Automatic Updates will not work, and Windows Update website will not be
accessible until SP3 is installed.]

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed IE8?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

I was using SP3 but my system crashed badly (series of BSODs - refering to
system core and than no ntldr message at boot, ultimately C: was declared
curropted). But now i have restored may drive image. Most recent were unable
to restore and an old one that worked is still with sp2 IE6.

AV - Avast (Free), up to date.
Spyware - Malewarebytes
Firewall - Builtin
Firewall was running at the time of installation. At first attempt AV was
also running than i tried after disabling it.

No Norton but i was using McAfee Site Advisor before system crash.

Also FYI IE is not uninstalling via Add/Remove.

Thx for response

Are you still running WinXP SP2?

Is "Windows Internet Explorer 8" not listed in Add/Remove Programs, is it
listed but there's not a REMOVE button, or can't you uninstall IE8 via
clicking on the REMOVE button?

Did you format the HDD prior to restoring the WinXP SP2 image?

Yes still SP2.
can't uninstall IE8 via clicking on the REMOVE button.
yes i format the HDD. But i format to FAT32 but when restore the image it
was back to NTFS.

Format to FAT32 coz i think my system keeps on crashing on NTFS which never
runs scandisk at system startup on improper shutdown due to power failure
(which is very common here).
