Internet Explorer Error After Windows Patches

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 systems

Solved the "invalid address" problem by removing the

 dword value "MoveImages"

from the following Windows registry key:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

After that I was able to start IE10 without errors.

( Thank you Marcus Jaken for pointing me in the right direction: http://cloudsurvivalguide.com/?p=564 )

"MoveImages" seems to be related to "Address space layout randomization" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout_randomization#Microsoft_Windows ).

For analysis I have checked some of our earlier Windows 7 installs:

• On two different Win7 installs without "MoveImages" we could start IE10 without error.
• On several Win7 installs with "MoveImages" equal to 0x00 we got an "invalid error" when starting IE10.  After removing "MoveImages" we could start IE10 without error.

We suspect that running EMET ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2458544/en-us ) caused the creation of the "MoveImages" dword in the registry.
