Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / February 2004IE bombs out on me starting up
What can I do? IE crashes as it is being launched. I've deleted the application and as many preference files that I could find (is there a list anywhere by the way?) and reinstalled it again but it still refuses to run! I'm running Mac OS X on a G4 Powerbook. > What can I do? IE crashes as it is being launched.

See Q059 on http://machelp.webhop.net/ Ricky Thanks Ricky, I thought the disk permissions was going to do it, but unfortunately it didn't. Still the same problem. Any other ideas?

It sounds as if some other issue within your Home folder is causing IE to go south when you try to call it (eg. a corrupt system font or preference). BTW, which version of OS X are you using?

I'm using Mac Os X version 10.2.8 I thought of signing in as someone else but I'm not signed in as the root user (I'm using a work laptop and the person who is the root user has left the company!) Is there anyway of adding a new user? > Thanks again, Ricky.

You can reset the root/admin passwords by booting from the OS CD-ROM and running the Reset Password utility, then log in as one of those users to take proper control of the machine. Ricky Thanks again. I managed to set myself up as a root user, and found that IE loads up fine as such. The problem is that I can't run some of the programs that have been installed under my original account. Is there a way around this? >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >. "anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > Thanks again.

If not, your root user login can turn it into an admin account through System Preferences > Accounts.

Sorry, it was an admin account. and I have now created a root user login (just to see what happens) - but it still crashes on startup in the original account, though not in a new account that I have also set up. Are there any other files that I could delete? |
