This problem has been occurring for quite some time now for me (at least two to three weeks).
Whenever I try to upload an image, IE crashes. It crashes because EMET stops an illegal operation. The message from EMET is:
EMET detected Caller mitigation and will close the application: IEXPLORE.EXE
Here's from Event Viewer and the Application log:
EMET detected Caller mitigation and will close the application: IEXPLORE.EXE
Caller check failed:
Application : C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
User Name : ...
Session ID : 1
PID : 0x94C (2380)
TID : 0xEC8 (3784)
API Name : ntdll.NtCreateFile
ReturnAddress : 0x0917B24A
CalledAddress : 0x77BBE060
TargetAddress : 0x0917A820
StackPtr : 0x026CF55C
I have plug-ins from the usual suspects disabled, like the Java plug-in and the junk from Adobe. The only plug-in running is Microsoft's Silverlight.
The system is Windows 8 (x64), fully patched. IE is 10.0.9200.17116, and EMET is 5.0.5324.31804.
What can I do to upload an image with Internet Explorer when using EMET.

1First step; Verify the problem exists with 8.1 and IE11. You offer no details on the upload method. – Ramhound – 2014-10-24T16:59:57.970
@Ramhound - Sorry, I don't have an 8.1 system. And Microsoft will not allow me to install IE 11.

How exactly are you trying to upload this image, and to where? Is it only with a specific site, or ANY site that you try to upload to? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-10-24T17:11:03.383
@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 - it happens when I click "upload File" (or whatever the site uses). The crash occurs when the the "Choose a File to Upload" dialog box is shown. I have confirmed it with Super User (that's why there's no image here), Stack Overflow, Web Apps SE, and PostImage. – jww – 2014-10-24T17:19:52.500
@ Ramhound - Windows 8.1 is not an option for me at the moment. There are three reasons. First, this machine is part of a multi-boot laptop using GPTs. I can't risk Windows breaking things. Second, Microsoft f--k'ed up the User Interface even further. My laptop is not a phone, so I only use the traditional desktop (and not the phone manager desktop with touch tiles). I don't want their crippled attempt at a Start Button further f--k'ing up my UI. Third, I have not reviewed the License Agreements ensure they are acceptable (I'm still using iOS 6 because I don't agree with Apple's iCloud ToS). – jww – 2014-10-24T17:24:36.660
