loaded and run (www.superantispaware.com
loaded and run RegRun by Greatis.
cleared the menory and temp files rebooted numerous time

will post the new hijack this but explorer still will not run

How do you start IE? By clicking on an icon?
If so, check its properties. Maybe the shortcut to launch it was altered and now has those command line parameters (SCODEF:2176 CREDAT:14337). Remove them, or create a new explorer shortcut.

Also consider using Firefox or Opera instead of IE for security reasons. IE, after all, is one of the main hatches for malware, and a major flaw to all security endeavours.
Personally, I have never used IE nor any of the other MS mass products, like Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Media Player, Windows Address Book etc. (not even Paint or Notepad ;)), and I never got seriously infected in 16 years or hardcore-browsing even the darkest spots of the internet.

i have ff and opera working on the machine but i need ie8 running so that i can test some software that does not seem to run on it ie8 but works fine on ie7
tried a new shortcut no good

torimar

Next step would then be to uninstall and reinstall IE 8.

sydneyguy

ASKER

it works ok in safe mode but when it loads it just stops may try reinstlling ie8

sydneyguy

ASKER

thats under normal non safe conditions so wil not run normally only under safe mode

sydneyguy

ASKER

have just deleted and reloaded and its still the same cannot load ie8 any one have any other ideaas.

i am going to pick up another computor tonight and see i can load that up and see how that ones goes but this has me stummped

torimar

Do you still receive the same error message as posted in your original post?
If so, have you run a search in your registry for those strange options ("SCODEF:2176 CREDAT:14337")?

Also: If it is only for testing purposes that you need IE8, you might want to consider using a browser compatibility testing tool instead of an installed version.
This one could help: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage

Try this;
Get Autoruns: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

Run it and click on the tab "Image Hijacks". If there are any entries found under the registry keys, untick them. Cloes Autoruns, reboot and try launching IE8 again.
