Internet Explorer and Wininet.dll

[superpandapower]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this problem. I just installed windows xp service pack 2 and now internet explorer randomly crashes with an "invalid page fault" in iexplore.exe in modname "wininet.dll" The error occurs on random pages and is quite frequent, every few minutes or so. Sometimes I get lucky and it doesn't show up for a while, but then I'll get 5 of these error messages in five conscecutive internet explorer startups. I've tried deleting the temporary files, cookies and history, but that doesn't do anything. All of the information I've found online seems to apply to windows 98 only. Thanks for any help you all can provide, this problem is driving me crazy.

Bah! Sorry guys I've since lost my notes on this whole thing.

Basically there is a hotfix that will address this issue if the circumstances are just right. Give MS a call. The IE/Perf guys should be able to find it pretty quick.

Thanks Smilin for his advise.
My problem was an overclocked system, not a driver flaw. Perhaps this may help you.
