I upgraded to IE8beta. I also installed SP3. Since then I've been
getting the following error when attempting to start IE8beta:
---------------
iexplore.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x5a913420" referenced memory at "0x5a913420". The
memory could not be "written".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
----------------
When I try to uninstall IE8BETA I get a message saying it cannot be
uninstalled. When I try to install IE7 over the top I get told that I
can't install it since there is a later version already installed.

Firefox works okay. However I tried the new Google Chrome to see if it
works and it gives the exact same error apart from the iexplore.exe is
chrome.exe.

I'd be glad of any help with this problem.

Regards

Tom

Hi,
If SP3 was installed after IE8 beta, you will have to remove SP3 before
uninstalling IE8.
See: IEBlog- IE and Windows XP Service Pack 3
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/05/05/ie-and-xpsp3.aspx

Before you uninstall either SP3 or IE8, a third-party program is probably
causing the error.
Start IE7 without add-ons from:
Right-click the IE icon on the desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.
or
Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no add-ons)

If the problem goes away, you have an incompatible browser add-on installed.
See: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp
for troubleshooting information.

The troublesome program may not be a browser add-on.
