However, when I was running IE7 and moved from WinXP SP2 to a new box running WinXP SP3 my AxWebBrowser events quite working also. I fixed this by using a program called AXIMP to recreate my SHDocVw and AxSHDocVw DLL's (the original COM Interop DLL's still appeared to work ok). I'm now on IE8 and AxWebBrowser is still working fine (well, more or less). I also used the browser extension you describe along with the webbrowser control that came with VS2005 and it worked fine until I moved from SP2 to SP3 and then it started getting random memory corruption exceptions. I then moved to GeckoFX (from Skybound) which is a mozilla/XULRunner wrapper and embedded it in my VB.NET app. It rendered much faster but is definitely not ready for prime time. When it matures I'm going to give it another look. Hope this helps you out... I just came across your post because I’m having trouble acquiring focus when DocumentComplete using AxWebBrowser.
