Some of LiveIndya reader informed us about the constant crashing of internet explorer after installing windows xp service pack 3 RC.So i decided to use internet explorer.When i tried to use internet explorer after installing service pack 3 then i also got the same problem "Internet explorer has encountered an error and needs to close".Then i searched the internet for the solution of this problem.I found many users compalining about the same issue.
After searching a lot about this issue i found the solution of this problem.This all was happening beacuse of Urlmon.dll.For resolving this issue you have to edit your registery and my advice is that take the back up of your system registery before editing it.
1.Open Notepad 2.paste this code below into it
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_PROTECT_DECOMPRESSION_FILTER_FROM_ABORT_KB942367] “*”=dword:00000001
3.save the file with ".reg" extension like "abc.reg" 4.Double click on it to add it to registry.It will ask you “Do you want to add the information to the Registry?” click ok. 5.Restart the computer.
