What is the exact error message you get

When does this error pop up

What version of IE are you using

When did this start happening

Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any Software or Hardware that you installed or setup.

It happens just today.
I am using IE 7
Every time I opened IE, then the error message pops saying service.exe

No snswer seem to be found, but I would reinstall ie7

Download and install with recommended settings, just let it install over what you have now
Internet Explorer: Get It Now (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx)

I'm guessing that you have Windows XP, I have seen "services.exe" appear before, there is a hotfix for it.

Error message on a Windows XP-based computer: "An access violation has occurred in Services.exe":


http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943303/

(You must have service pack 2, to install that Hotfix)

I'm curious, have you Service Pack 3 installed (if you have XP), as services.exe has a fix in Pack 3. If not you can forget about the hotfix if you like and install Service Pack 3.
