Fix Ieframe.dll Problems

Thursday March 20, 2008
After Internet Explorer 7 came out, a number of Windows users ran into the "Res://ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm#" error or the "File Not Found C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\IEFRAME.DLL" error. Even though IE7 has been out for quite some time, this is still a common error that I see talked about around the Internet.

Unfortunately, I write a lot about DLL errors. They're very common and often painful to troubleshoot. Ieframe.dll errors are especially troubling because they can show up for a huge number of reasons. There are, however, plenty of things you can to do fix them. Give it a shot yourself before you pay a bunch to that "squad" of computer experts downtown.

About 2 weeks ago, my IE7 browser started getting redirected (hijacked) … Now I cannot update, install, download, or scan for any rogue software, bugs, etc. … I’ve been looking all over the net (at microsoft, live, bleeping computer, etc. …. ) and still, I cannot get my IE7 to work without getting redirected all over the planet !!!! I’m ready to shoot my computer and go start over again !!!
