Answer» I recently updated my browser to Internet Explorer 8. Shortly afterward my computer CAME up with a blue screen of death. I rebooted it a few times and it seems to be working fine now, in general. Ever since then, though, every TIME I turn on the computer, two error screens pop up. One says "Error 8007007E in CoCreate Instance: the specified module could not be found" and the other "Error 800401F0 in CoCreate Instance: CoInitialize has not been called" When I click "OK" or X out, they just pop up again, one behind the other. They have the icon associated with the Intellisonic program, which also appears on my Start-toolbar. When I click that icon, though, ANOTHER screen comes up that says "Exciting CPL, could not initialize WMI". QUITE frankly, I have no idea what these things are talking about. They don't seem harmful, only annoying. Any ideas? I don't really know what this Intellisonic program is, either. Is it essential, and if not, could I simply remove the program from my computer?Intellisonic seems to have something to do with drivers for microphones/speech recognition (?) from a quick google. By all means try removing such software if you don't need it. Possibly it has a plugin module that it causing IE8 to barf.
Downgrading to IE7 is problematic so if this continues, you might WANT to consider switching to Firefox?Thanks! I did both. Uninstalling Intellisonic did the trick, and I seem to be none the worse. Plus, I switched to Firefox for good measure! Glad it worked out...Thanx for stopping back to let us know.
