thanks to anonymous for the fix. Not all gringos are illiterate

This worked for me: In the Explorer: Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons. I disabled several and the problem stopped. One the ones that I disabled was AcroIEHlprObjClass

In the case of Runtime eror 217at0213eaea, Location0x7812abb, After much time and effert and about $200.00 dollars later. I have learned that inernet explorer 7 does not like windows Xp. If Explorer 7 is running get rid of it..........

I think you're right. My Runtime error started when I upgraded to IE 7. How do I revert to an earlier version? Is that a 'duh' question?

I am getting the same error message when i close some Window's XP sp2 windows. The message of view - 'Runtime error 217 at (random addresses, in case of program, for example 03BOF2C2)' - how can i delete it (if it is virus) or recover good work of my PC?
I scan original file (from archieve) and file with errors - and find no changes betweeen two files.
Need help!

What is Microsft doing about this?
I believe its their problem!!!
Only statred when updated to Explorer 7!!
Is it worth reverting bach to original
TONY

I am still not able to get rid of the problem!
By the way, I still have IE6...

The error is caused by an illegal operation or service running on your computer. It would be helpful if you kept a manual logfile of all the activities that are executing through the Internet Explorer programs. If not, you need to set up Remote Network Administration in order to leave your computer open to outside connections.

Then, you need to e-mail Microsoft technical support begging them to help you fix your problem. You should tell them your IP address and your issue.

If hackers or intruders connect to your computer before Microsoft does, then beg to have sex with them if they would disconnect from your computer.

It certanly true, moreover influence of this error increases too fast, i.e. i get this error from the majority of programs -> error hide in one of programs of system Tray.
So it is not the internal error from each program, its error of System Tray.
Please somebody write to Microsoft, i want to solve this problem without reinstalling of windows! Who can do this?

I did what the anonymous note dated 2007-014-03 11:11:54 said to do. I went to IE tools - manage add-ons- enable/disable add-ons and I disabled a bellsouth toolbar. No more problem. It comes back if I re-enable the toolbar so I know I got it.

Same problem, I disabled verizon toolbar, that did it, guess ie7 doesnt like the competion.

Some people ask for a solution, and nobody knows it. What a pity

I had runtime error 217 when closing IE2007 after installing Norton 2007,

It went away after disabling 'Norton Confidential Browser Helper' addon.

In IE, Tools - Manage Add Ons - Enable/Disable Add-ons

I also had runtime error 217 when closing IE2007 after installing Norton 2007. In the tools - manage add-ons I also disabled the Norton Confidential Browser helper and the problem disappeared. Note that I subsequently re-enabled the add-on and the problem has not re-appeared. Note that Norton was not able to help.
