Make sure IE 8 is closed then navigate to registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders<br /> 2. Add a new “Expandable String value” inside the above mentioned key with a value name of “AppData” and a value data of “%USERPROFILE%\Application Data”.<br /> 3. Reopen IE 8 and see if you still get the error message. </p></blockquote> <p>Judging by the comments already left on the blog post some people have had limited success with this fix and for others it hasn't worked at all. </p> <p>Another <a href="http://loveamongtheruins.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/update-ie-8-error-search-default-provider-error-a-program-on-your-computer-has-corrupted-your-default-search-provider-setting-for-internet-explorer/">possible solution</a> is to delete the registry key HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/User Preferences. Warning: This could potentially delete other customer settings you may have configured.</p> <p>Please post below what worked for you and what didn't. It is a very frustrating problem to say the least. </p> http://forum.kirb.us/topic/procedure-number-is-out-of-range#post-18 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:27:06 +0000 Kirb 18@http://forum.kirb.us/ <p>This error message appears when trying to browse from XP workstations to a shared folder on a Windows 2008 Server.</p> <p>"Procedure number is out of range."</p> <p>Does anyone know what this error message means? </p>
