Hey all,

I'll get straight to the point, everytime I try open IE7, it loads, but doesn't show on my screen. I have to go to task manager and end it, at the load up of Windows, I get the message 'Microsoft .NET 1.1.exe has stopped working' something like that. Everytime I search in Firefox, my explorer.exe restarts.

I have Windows Vista Ultimate, SP1. Could it be SP1, and I have to reformat?

Thank you.

PS. I checked for Viruses/Spyware, got 1 Virus, but got rid of it. I don't know, everything else was working fine yesterday. Haven't downloaded anything recently either.

It's effecting Firefox 3, and IE 7. I go to google, type what I want to search, then as soon as I hit enter. Windows Explorer stops working. And needs to restart, I'm using NOD32, and Ad-Aware for spyware. I've tried nearly everything I know.

I'll uninstall the .NET Framework and I'll see if that helps.

Thank you.

EDIT: Now I get a message, WLLoginProxy.exe has stopped working. Think my OS is dying

Well the WLLoginProxy.exe message has gone. However still got the same problem, even after uninstalling .NET Framework 1.1, I still got the message when I logged into Windows. Weird.

Can't do a System Restore, as I never enabled it. Don't know what else I can do, apart from a reformat.

EDIT: I remember uninstalling something from my programs list. I was cleaning up some programs I didn't use, I remember it saying something along the lines of, if you uninstall, other programs won't work properly. Doh

, it began with A, think it's normal to have it in Vista.

Hmm yeah, could work. Tried enabling services in safe mode, don't know what's up. I do a search in an Internet Browser, and explorer.exe restarts, lol really funny.

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: When I enter the search I want to in both IE7 and FF3, I get the connection interrupted message. Hmm.

Got shot of NOD. Problem still occurs, something is conflicting with explorer.exe when I do a search in both web browsers. I've tried disabling/enabling services, nothing is working.

Weird, everything seems to work now without a flaw? I'm getting scared now, but hopefully that's over and done with.

Yeah I did restart. And downloaded the Optional Sound Package for Vista that was in the update. Then I started both IE7 and FF, and went and did a search.

Worked without any flaws.

EDIT: I've noticed that, to get to search flawlessley in any search engien without windows explorer restarting, I need to first visit a popular torrent site. Why is this? I've checked for spyware haven't got any.

Spybot found quite a few entries, thanks for that. Everything seems ok at the moment. Haven't had any problems.
