I run ie8 on windows 7 and I kept getting this annoying security settings warning pop-up every time I open a web page. So, how to get rid of it?

Fix

It can be done by editing group policy and turning off the security settings check feature. The group policy can be edited by running command gpedit.msc in windows 7 professional and ultimate.

Steps:

1. Run local group policy editor (gpedit.msc)
2. User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer
3. Enable “Turn of the Security Settings Check feature”

If Group policy is not accessible directly in your windows 7 version then you need to make some registry changes. Here’s how

Steps:

1. Open registry editor by typing regedit in the run box.
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ->SOFTWARE ->POLICIES ->MICROSOFT
3. Here, create a key named “Internet Explorer” (if not there)
4. Create a sub key named Security
5. In security, add a DWORD value named DisableSecuritySettingsCheck and assign it a value of 1
6. Close registry editor and restart internet explorer.
7. That annoying information bar should be gone now.

IE8 crashes when loading website – res://ieframe.dll/acr_error.htm

I was having a problem in opening my website using internet explorer 8. The page loads for a short time but then IE stops loading it. IE tries to recover the tab continuously but then says “Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem“.

It opens an error page with the following URL pattern:

res://ieframe.dll/acr_error.htm#mywebsiteurl

Fix

To address this issue, follow these instructions to use Internet Explorer in No add-ons mode to identify any add-ons that are causing errors.

1.   Click Start

2.   Click All Programs

3.   Click Accessories

4.   Click System Tools

5.   Click Internet Explorer (No add-ons)

6.   Click Tools

7.   Click Manage Add-ons

8.   Click Toolbars and Extensions

9.   Under Show: click All add-ons

10.  Select all the add-ons in the right pane

11.  Click Disable all

12.  Click Close

13.  Close Internet Explorer (No add-ons)

14.  Open Internet Explorer

 If the problem is fixed then the next step is to enable the add-ons one by one to find which one was causing the problem. Test to see if the error have returned, if not the add-on you enabled is good to stay. Repeat the enabling process for the next disabled add-on and continue this process until the problem returns. Then the last add-on enabled will need to be disabled/uninstalled/updated to avoid further problems.
