A short, practical guide that expands on the existing replies from , and others.

This crash-on-close pattern on Windows 98 / older IE builds is often caused by a third‑party extension or a mis‑registered IE component rather than the browser core. First isolation: start Internet Explorer with add‑ons disabled (iexplore -extoff). If the crash stops when add‑ons are disabled, the fault is almost certainly a toolbar/BHO or helper plug‑in. (learn.microsoft.com)

If add‑ons look suspicious, list and remove them with a dedicated startup/extension tool. For Win9x-era systems, an old-school scanner like HijackThis will show BHOs (O2) and toolbars (O3) so offending entries can be disabled or removed; on newer systems Autoruns provides a more complete view of auto‑start/BHO locations. Use those listings to remove the offending software (uninstall from Control Panel and remove leftover registry entries only if comfortable). (bleepingcomputer.com)

Collect crash data before big changes. Enable the Dr. Watson logger on Win98 (drwatson.exe) so a WATSONnn.log appears after the crash — that log (and the Event Viewer time stamps already mentioned by ) helps pinpoint the failing module. Re‑register core IE DLLs (for example regsvr32 urlmon.dll then the other IE DLLs) to fix missing registrations. If registry corruption is suspected, restore a previously good registry using ScanReg (scanreg /restore) from the MS‑DOS prompt. Back up the registry and important files first. (learn.microsoft.com)

Additional notes: graphics drivers or hardware acceleration can expose bugs when IE closes, so briefly lower video acceleration via Display/System Performance to test for driver interaction. Repairing IE from Add/Remove (as suggested) or reinstalling IE can help but often won’t remove BHOs — combine reinstall with the isolation and logging steps above. Avoid random “one‑click” fixes; keep backups and keep the Dr. Watson/Event Viewer logs to hand if escalation or specialist help is needed. (ftp.zx.net.nz)

Sending the error report won't rectify anything. Eventually, Microsoft may create a fix for it and put it in an update.

What exactly does the error say?

Hey, I have the same problem!! Everytime I close it IE, that damn error pops up! In event Viewer I notice there are 2 error creating each crash. They are labeled as:


"Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2900.2180, faulting module unknown, version , fault address 0x01d7217d."

And the second:

"Fault bucket 131829237."

I would be gratefull of any help!! Thanks!!!!

Hi marcusw90,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk!

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

Thanks for understanding.

Im sure by now they have fixed the issue my friend!!

Welcome to Daniweb :)

I wouldnt trust MS to say the only way is to UPGRADE.. Of course they are gonna say that,they want you on the latest garbage where they have full control over you......

I have experienced this problem with IE7 using multi tabs, the easiest solution is to manually close all the mutiple tabs except the first home page (which you cannot close) then shut down IE in normal way.
