You are probably missing the iepeers.dll or its corrupted.

Option one is the reinstall IE

Or take a look at these couple of links for ideas how to fix it, seems easy enough. Just replace and register.

I ran firefox for quite a while. The problem is a lot of sites have issues with Firefox. Some won't even come up. Oh and there are just as many security holes in Firefox. They just have not been exploited as much as IE....yet. Most of the Internet world was designed for using IE and I got tired of not being able to open some sites and getting crazy format errors on a lot of the sites that would work with Firefox. But keep in mind I am on the Internet 12-18 hours a day most days.

I do agree that using Firefox will stop those errors from poping up but most likey so will reinstalling IE. Just make sure you update IE once you reinstall it to get the latest secuirty patches.

You wont really notice the difference. I have though, with the right ad/spyware protection, antivirus and Firefox, I never have the trouble I am used to from IE.

I would definately promote Firefox over IE.

Whenever I setup a computer for somebody I put it on and tell them to use that instead. Otherwise I get a call like a week later cause they got some virus or something. IE is a big target for malicious activity, plus Firfox has tab browsing for guys who have like 10 windows open

Firefox is alot faster. I've installed it on a few people's computer's and they like firefox alot better. I have both on my computer just in case few of the pages I want to see only work on IE. I'm pretty sure Firefox has an update that enables you to view the pages or it'll switch you to IE to view it. Something like that. I've seen it, but it doesn't happen very often so I didn't care to dl it.
