Paolo, These are the things I have tried:
I tried what you suggested. I ran regsvr32 script vbscript. This advised that dllregister in jscript suceeded. So this must be ok.
I have reset IE 8.0.
I have ran the MSN Autocare fix with the information listed below:
In one area it did mention something about a "Faulting Module MSHTML.DLL"
I went to the Conservative Byte website this morning and it is still doing the same thing. I don't know what else to do rather than uninstall and reinstall MSN Explorer. But, if this is a windows file causing this, as I have read, then this would not help either. I am sorry I am late getting back to you but according to what I read on this site I would be notified by an e-mail so I was waiting for an e-mail notification. Since everything has checked out so far I do not have any idea what would cause this. Thank you for your help.
Below is the result of downloading and running the "MSN AUTO CARE" In fact I have ran it twice.
