IE9 32-bit crashing.

My internet explorer started crashing one day. And this error was logged in the applicaiton log.

After lot of surfing and reading through blogs. I stumbled on this solution myself. I was comparing the registry keys from my machine and another one which had IE-9 installed. I found that this key was different.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\UnattendBackup\ActiveSetup\Home_Page]. On my machine it was set to an intranet site of our organization.I changed that to http://www.google.com. The internet explorer started working again. On the first launch it still went to the intranet default site. But was not crashing anymore.

SCOM 2007 authoring console crash

When i was checking the rules on my console.I had set the scope to all objects and since then it kept on crashing on me. It would load the other views but never the authoring console.Followed this link http://blog.tyang.org/2010/07/06/scom-console-crashes/

And this gave me a fair idea of what could be happening.My scom zone had many management packs loaded. By many i mean many, more that 500.So I just checked this reg key on another zone and the classes that were scoped in that. This console had only the root management server scoped. I copied the reg key from this RMS and imported on the problematic one. Woo hoo!! My console was not crashing anymore and it opened at the RMS scope here too. Here is the reg key.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Console\Navigation\MonitoringConfigNavSettings] "SelectedViewNodeId"="91aaa624-bebf-21db-858c-76d50a6a8d99" "ScopedClasses"="1a9387f0-6fe5-5527-a2cb-73f2f6be6bc7" "AuthoringSpaceViewedFirstTime"=dword:00000000 "UseDefaultScoping"=dword:00000000
