We are running 2 profiles on Windows XP.In my wife's profile everytime she tries to open IE8 she gets an error message that another program has corrupted the Search Engine. We have reset to defaults but it is still happening. There are no issues on my profile. It happens on every occasion for her, so if she gets a mail with job hyperlinks in it, then every single hyperlink will cause the same response.

If this problem has not existed for very long try doing a System Restore to a time prior to it starting.

Do you have more than one user profile on your system, if so, have you tried logging in with a different profile to see if the problem exists globaly or just in your normal profile? If the problem is with your profile only then this would suggest that the profile is corrupt and you should create a new profile if you don't have another already.

Another option is to run the System File Checker utility to determine if you have any corrupted or missing critical Windows files.

Lastly try temporarily disabling your AntiVirus and Firewall software then try to access the Event Viewer management console - it is probably best to have your computer disconnected from any internet access when doing this. If this succeeds then check for any events related to the error in opening the Event Viewer - you may find it easier to clear all the current events first then recreate the error and look at the logs again to identify the most current and relevant entries.

Your "Profiles" folder contains your complete message history archive on your computer. You can copy it to the same location on another computer if you want to view it there. We've included instructions for Windows XP and Windows Vista users.
To locate your complete message history archive on Windows XP:

1. Open the "Run" command: press Windows Logo+R on your keyboard.
2. Copy and paste the text below into the Run command ' then click OK:
   
   %ProgramFiles%\Yahoo!\Messenger\

To locate your complete message history archive on Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32-bit):

1. Open the "Run" command: press Windows Logo+R on your keyboard.
2. Copy and paste the text below into the Run command ' then click OK:
   
   %LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\

To locate your complete message history archive on Windows Vista or Windows 7 (64-bit):

1. Open the "Run" command: press Windows Logo+R on your keyboard.
2. Copy and paste the text below into the Run command ' then click OK:
   
   %LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Yahoo!\Messenger\

Warning: Copying your Profiles folder to another computer overwrites any existing message history archive on that computer and it is replaced by yours. That overwritten message history archive will be permanently eliminated by this process. (Workaround: Backup that message archive first to a storage medium such as a CD ROM.)

Based on my research, the problem may be related to many factors, please try following steps to narrow down the problem.

Step 1: Disable Anti-Virus programs or some other third party program

=========================================================

Please disable any Anti-Virus, firewalls, spy, Anti-Spam programs and check whether you have installed any third party program related to Outlook on your computer. If so, please temporarily disable it.

Step 2: Start Outlook in Safe Mode

=======================
1. Quit Outlook.

2. Choose Start menu -> Run

3. Type "Outlook.exe /safe" and click OK. (Without quotation marks but there is a space in front of "/")

Please perform a test in Outlook Safe Mode.

If the problem persists in Outlook Safe Mode, Please try next step.

Step 3: Create a new profile

===========================================================
Please create a new profile to see if the problem is caused by the corrupt profile

1. Close Outlook.

2. Click Start, and click Control Panel. Click Mail icon.

3. Click Show Profiles.

4. In the "When starting Microsoft Office Outlook, use this profile:" area, please select "Prompt for a profile to be used"

This issue may occur if you deploy Outlook 2003 with the Microsoft Office 2003 Custom Installation Wizard and specify a personal folder (.pst) file in the Windows Installer transform (MST file) by using the Default location for PST files path option. The problem occurs because you specify a file name instead of a folder path.

To resolve this issue for future installations of Office, use the Custom Installation Wizard to edit the MST file. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the Change Office User Settings page (page 10 of 24), expand Microsoft Outlook 2003, expand Miscellaneous, and then click PST Settings.
2. In the right pane, double-click Default location for PST files, and then type the path that you want in the Default location for PST files box. For example, type %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\.
3. Click OK, and then follow the steps to complete the wizard. When you have corrected the MST file, deploy Office by using the correct MST file.

To resolve this issue for an existing installation of Outlook that is experiencing this problem, specify the .pst file by using the Mail icon in Control Panel.

Or If you are receiving and Err like
Error message when you start Outlook: "Unable to open the Outlook window," "No profile has been created," or "The list of Profiles cannot be loaded"Follow the step's below:This issue may occur on a computer that is running Windows XP if the Outlook.exe file was configured to open with the Windows program compatibility mode setting. When you set compatibility for Outlook to Windows 95 or to Windows 98/Windows Millennium Edition, Outlook displays this error message. This is because the location of the Outlook Profile information in the registry differs on a Windows XP-based computer.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Locate Outlook.exe.
   
   Outlook.exe is typically located in one of the following folders, depending on the version of Outlook that you are running:
   • Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14
   • Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
   • Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 11
   • Microsoft Outlook 2002 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 10
   • Microsoft Outlook 2000 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 9
2. Right-click Outlook.exe, and then click Properties.
3. On the Compatibility tab, click to clear the Run this program in compatibility mode for check box.
4. Click OK.
5. Try to start Outlook. If you receive error message again, use Method 2.

Ther are known conflicts with Vista and IE8 - particularly with Vista 64-bit.

I would suggest uninstalling IE8 and reinstalling IE7 or using an alternative browser such as "slimbrowser" (excellent program) or similar.

IE8 can be uninstall by using Add or Remove Programs module in Windows XP, but in Windows Vista, Windows Internet Explorer 8 is not considered to be a ‘program’. Instead, IE8 is categorizing as an ‘update’. Thus, users will not be able to find Windows Internet Explorer 8 in “Programs and Features” of Windows Vista.

To uninstall Internet Explorer 8, go to Control Panel, and click on Uninstall Programs link or Programs and Features icon. Then on Tasks pane on the left, click on View installed updates link. Locate and select Windows Internet Explorer 8 in the list of installed updates, and then click on Uninstall button. Click on Yes when asked that are you sure want to uninstall the update.

If there is no option of IE8 been found on “Programs and Features” or “Add or Remove Programs” dialog box, or uninstallation of Internet Explorer 8 is unclean (causing error message such as setup cannot continue because a more recent version of Internet Explorer has been detected on this computer when trying to downgrade to IE7), try to manually run the spuninst.exe.
To do so, go to C:\WINDOWS\ie8\spuninst\ folder (your drive letter may be different), and run spuninst.exe.

Restart the computer after uninstallation completed.

Hope that helps :)

If you are running WIndows Vista, right click the file to install iTunes and select RUN as ADMINISTRATOR.
If running XP, you may have an account permissions issue that could be caused by several issues (Group Policy, SPyware, Corrupt profile. If you are an administrator account on the system, try creating a new account and see if program will install. If it does, your profile has issues. If it doesn't I'd try a malware scan.
If is also possible that your security software is blocking the install it you are Running McAfee or Norton Security center applications
