What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.91 on Vista Home Premium with IE8.

Please provide any additional information below.

I just finished jailbreaking my phone (3G 3.0, iTunes 8.2) and tried to 
start iPhoneBrowser 1.81 and got the issue. I dl'd 1.91 and still the same 
problem. I next uninstalled all occurances of iPhoneBrowser and then 
reinstalled 1.91 with the exact same problem.

1.91 was written specifically to fix this issue. Can you verify that the install
replaced 1.81 - does the title bar of IPB say version 1.91?

• Changed state: Accepted

No I can't since I never get that far.  I get the error message "iPhoneBrowser 
has 
stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution." immediately after 
starting the program.  I never get any other screen so I never get a title bar. 
That's why I included a copy of the problem signature. I don't get anything 
else to 
go by. It's frustrating since I was able to use 1.81 before my phone was 
upgraded to 
3.0 and as far as I know nothing else was changed on my system (just iTunes to 
8.2 
and iPhone to 3.0). I used Redsnow to jailbreak the phone.

See the solution for me under issue 104.  You'll need to make sure there are no
remnants of previous versions.

Can confirm that todd727 solution works. Found two versions of iphone browser 
in both
the add remove programs and the appdata/local folder. Removed them and 
installed the
ver 1.91 and its working perfectly on my 2G 3.0 jailbroken iphone.

Thanks

Great program, keep up the good work.

I hate to sound like a jerk, but if you will read my first comment you will see 
that 
I tried that first. I removed ALL occurances of the program and then 
reinstalled 
1.91. The program does NOT start, it doesn't even bring up any screen 
whatsoever.  
Simply errors out. I also tried to dl the iTunesMobile.dll file to make sure I 
was 
using the latest and still get no joy.

Rich, did you make sure you got the Cranium folders deleted too?

Original comment by todd...@gmail.com on 21 Jun 2009 at 10:23

I was having the same problems as everyone else as well. But then when I went to
uninstall Iphonebrowser, i found both versions listed. So, i uninstalled both,
cleared out the trash..and re-downloaded..and voila..it works again!

Thanks elementsdk1, it worked for me too! I uninstalled both, redownloaded a 
new one 
and installed it. No crashes any more.

Can someone post what the previous version that did not uninstall was?

Original comment by NetMage....@gmail.com on 22 Jun 2009 at 2:31

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The previous version that I had was 1.81. And yes, I just tried (again) to 
uninstall 
everything, found the "Cranium" directory and deleted that as well. Reinstalled 
the 
program and I am still getting the "iPhoneBrowser has stopped working. Windows 
can 
check online for a solution." error as soon as I try to run it.  And this 
happens 
whith or without my phone connected to the computer.

Netmage SCW - 1.81 was the one that didn't uninstall.

Rich, have you cleaned the registry?  I used Registry Mechanic, but I'm sure 
there
are others that would work.

My daughter's computer is a Vista machine and it was doing the same as yours, 
but the
fix worked for us.  I used search to find all the folders that started with 
"Cranium"

i was getting this problem, did not have any other versions running as removed 
all 
and registry was clean,

i went to look at compatability mode like i had on a previous version and 
notices 
that the iphonebrowser.exe was set to xp sp2, once i removed work in 
compatability 
mode the program works well on vista ultimate x64,

hat off to the developers and thanks for listening to our gripes

now to upgrade to 3.0 and see how i go................ i may be back lol

Hey rich...I don't know what else to tell you. I'm running iphonebrowser 1.91 
on 
Vista Home and with my iPhone 3g jailbroken with 3.0 firmware and iTunes 8.2. 

Once I went to the control panel to the add/remove programs and found 2 
instances of 
iphonebrowser and uninstalled then deleted both instances and all shortcuts and 
folders associated with it on my computer, then emptied out the trash; then 
reinstalled 1.91..everything worked fine. you may want to clear out you 
temporary 
cached folders as well, if you didn't already do so. Go to the run program..or 
just 
type run in the search field for vista. then enter without the quotation marks, 
"%
temp%" then delete all, empty trash and try reinstalling again. 

If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else you should try.

Rich,

Please try running the program with the iPhone not connected. Hopefully that 
will
verify the correct version is starting and show you an actual Window.

I plan to add some debug options to future versions to help with analysis of 
this
sort of issue.

I don't know what to tell you guys.  I haven't done anything strange, I simply 
installed the program and clicked on the icon, then I get the error.  I have 
tried 
it with the phone connected, the phone NOT connected, I checked to see if 
compatiblity was set, it's not. And no matter what I still can't get the 
program to 
start. It takes about 2 seconds and the error comes up, no IphoneBrowser 
window, no 
debug info, no info of any kind. Just what I said in the original post. I've 
tried 
everything that has been suggested on the post and nothing has worked.

Well, I have decided that I am going to try a complete reload of my system. 
Since it 
is obvious that the problem lies with my system and not the program (apparently 
I am 
the only one having the issue). So on Saturday I am going to bite the bullet 
and 
reload the entire OS.  Oh joy.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Let's try that again...

I hope to have a logging version in the next few days that might help pinpoint 
the
issue, so unless you are having other issues I would hold off on a rebuild.

Original comment by NetMage....@gmail.com on 24 Jun 2009 at 11:08

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yeah, I didn't think it had a connection but windows won't update, my antivirus 
won't update and now 
Outlook is giving me server errors so I figure maybe I should just reload the 
system. But I'd be happy to 
try out the new version when it comes out!

I'm running Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1, same issue. I checked for 
remnants,
nothing there, wiped the temp, but it's still the same problem. It just won't 
load
and all it says is "iPhoneBrowser has stopped working. [blablabla]" same as 
rich's.
The window doesn't pop up at all, just the error message

Well, I did not reload my system yet. I'm still having the issue but apparently 
I'm 
not the only one so I thought I would wait a bit.

Yesterday I ran an antivirus program (in safe mode) and it found over 15 
infected 
files.  I rebooted, ran another virus scan in standard mod, found one more 
infection. Rebooted and ran one more time, this time the system was clean.  I 
was 
able to run Windows Update and get all the latest and greatest for Vista 
(including ".net framework v3.5") and now iPhone Browser works!!  Apparently I 
did 
not have the latest .net framework since the virus was preventing my system 
from 
updating.  So if you are having trouble with browser, make sure you have the 
latest 
update to .net and try it again.

Hey Guys,

I know this is an old issue but I am also having the same problem now..
I'm not sure if there has been any solution to this problem?

I am currently running Windows 7 though.. so maybe that has something to do 
with it 
as I'm unsure on the compatability..

I am able to open the program without my iPhone connected but as soon as I 
connect 
it says "iPhone Browser has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution 
for 
the problem". ..

I'm not sure what to do because I have tried using EVERY program to even get 
into my 
iPhone...

I have the exact same problem as jasmin (but I'm on windows xp sp2). I have 
tried
everything in this post, but it keeps giving me the error. Btw it's an iPod 
Touch 2g
3.1.2 jailbreaked with blackrain that I'm trying to browse.

I am runing Windows vista business and haveing the same 'Iphone brower has 
stopped 
working'. Had the same error since the 1st download over a week ago. I have 
deleted, 
redownloaded, reinstalled and all result in the same error. 

Stuck and dunno what to do!!

SAME SAME, first time to install iPhoneBrowser.. xp, 2g jailbroken. noticed 
though
that when my phone is not connected there is no error.

The issue appears to be solved in the newest beta (1.93). I downloaded and 
installed
that instead and it works perfectly now :)

I am receiving this issue as well.  It is my first time ever installing iPhone 
browser, 
so I definitely do not have previous versions.  I tried installing the .net 
framework, 
but it says it is already installed in Win7 (Home Premium) by default.  What is 
causing 
this error?

If anyone is still having problems with this i have encountered the same 
problem on my new laptop when iphone explorer worked fine on my old one, both 
running windows 7.  My problem was i didnt have itunes installed.  Hope this 
helps.

I'm still having this problem with 193 and 191. Please fix and email me

I would appreciate it if you guys made a new download.

Wow, this seems to be quite a varied error, especially as I'm running 7, 32bit, 
and it's not just this, any iphone browser I download doesn't work!
Hmm....This is odd...

same here, win7 ultimate 64bit, ib 1.93, first install of ib ever, .net 
installed, itunes updated, ipod connected, cleaned the reg, etc

when i start ib it just reports "iPhoneBrowser has stoped working" A problem 
caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.

Hi. I had the same issue, then I found solution. I just installed iExplorer, 
started (as demo), closed and uninstalled it. Then I installed again 
iPhoneBrowser and now it works.

I have the same error as rich does, this thread is old but after reading all of 
it and doing what it said for the version I have, nothing worked. I haven't had 
any previous version on my cpu, and I'm running windows 8. Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.
