are you using IE version 6 or 5.5?

When you get the error message, look for something in the message to show the details of the error.  Write down the details and post the exact text in a reply in this forum.

Or you can do this to find the error messages: Go to your Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer Check under the System Tab for any listed error messages. If any are found, repost them in a new thread or go to http://www.google.com and input the error message in the search box to see if solution may be listed. Kip

WELL THIS DEFINITELY WORKS!!!!!!!!

Open 'internet options' located in the control panel.  click on the 'advanced' tab and under browsing category uncheck 'Enable 3rd party browser options (requires restart)'. and then restart the computer.

try opening Internet explorer after reboot!!!!!!

best'a luck
