Kernelbase.DLL Error Causing IE To Fail
If your IE fails to load or if it has a hard time loading websites, it may be due to either a bad add-on or a Shockwave installation.
The Shockwave installation problem can be a bit deceiving because you think the issue is with the browser add-ons or a BHO. However, if all else fails then try uninstalling Shockwave or Flash before you do a complete repair or OS reinstall.
