Description of the Microsoft Windows registry On This PageSYMPTOMSWhen you try to quit Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, the program
may stop responding. Additionally, an access violation may occur in Msxml3.dll, and you may receive an "Access Violation (0xC0000005 exception)"
error message. CAUSEThis problem may occur after you view a Web site that
has XML elements in its HTML code. When you quit Internet Explorer, it unloads Msxml3.dll. When Msxml3.dll is unloaded, it frees any memory that was used to load the XML
components on the Web page. However, Internet Explorer may try to access these
empty memory locations. Therefore, Internet Explorer may
crash. RESOLUTIONHotfix informationA supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that is described in this article.
