Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / January 2004My IE 5 died!
Yesterday I was using Internet Explorer 5.2 on my powerbook. I logged off, went away, and came back an hour later intending to log on again. But now, everytime I launch IE, a dialog box instantly appears telling me that "Internet Explorer has unexpectedly quit." What is going on? I have downloaded the upgrade, thrown out theold IE and completely re-installed it, but nothing is solving this problem. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance. > Yesterday I was using Internet Explorer 5.2 on my powerbook. I logged > off, went away, and came back an hour later intending to log on again.

Try to delete the following... ~/Library/Caches/MS Internet Cache ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfig.plist ~/Library/Preferences/Explorer/History.html Ricky > > Yesterday I was using Internet Explorer 5.2 on my powerbook.

If anyone ever has the time, I would be interested in knowing what happened. Thanks again.

It can sometimes be the case that IE does not shut down "gracefully" in which case the preference file that controls this application (com.apple.internetconfig.plist) may become corrupt. The next attempt to launch IE results in a call being made to this corrupt preference file, which does not respond as expected and so the application does not launch. Alternatively (or in addition) a file may have become corrupt within the MS Internet Cache folder, the resource that stores some temporary files that allows you to browse pages you've been to before more quickly than if you were loading them for the first time. As a housekeeping measure, I usually delete the contents of my MS Internet Cache folder on quite a regular basis, you'll find that doing this will have no negative impact on your general Internet experience. I can't be much more specific than that really - things go wrong sometimes. Be prepared and you'll be OK. Ricky |
