I hope that means you haven't installed it yet.
Doing so might make for a more durable solution.

You should be able to get it through Windows Update as well.

Might take a bit longer because of the 20 questions method, but hey.... if it helps.

[curlypep]

That worked just fine! I will keep you posted. Thanks!

[Metallica]

Please do.

It just started again on Yahoo! on my laptop. So it lasted about 7 hours. I also got a dll error message when I shut down my laptop!

Can you try and note the exact error next time it happens?

[curlypep]

I just got this weird message on one of my email messages when I clicked on it it let me continue with my emails.
I took a screen shot of it and have it saved in wordpad how can I show it to you? Its long.

[Metallica]

Can you attach it to your next post?

Yahoo again?

I'm still seeing a pattern.
Can you run my bat file again and then open your Yahoo mail site as the first one.
Let me know if IE survives that.

[curlypep]

Yes most of the time its Yahoo and then randomly some of my other favorites. Ok I did it and Yahoo opened. Lets see how long it lasts this time.
Thanks again! If anything I am learning more about computers.

Ok I found a lot of other similar problems once i narrowed it down to Yahoo I found a couple of possible solutions.

1. If you are using Adobe Flash Player, make sure to get the latest version.

2 . Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
