Internet Explorer faults

[Peter McDonald]

Hi,

Can anyone help me. I keep getting a notification "internet explorer stopped working" after going on

certain websites. This is having an adverse affect on the Performance Reliability graph which is

showing up as a stability issue. Personally, hate this Vista System (one of the worst ever) and think

it represents Microsoft's greatest flop....never any trouble with XP. I recently update to I.E 8 thinking

this would solve this problem....no luck. The performance & reliability graph which starts at 10 is

currently hitting 7 and sliding every time this "stopped working" thing appears. I am at

the moment.

PS Another problem: It takes a year and a day to use Vista's Defragmenting Tool. I just gave up on it.

Sorry don't know about the IE problem, but if you are looking for a better defrag program you should try AusLogics Disk Defrag.

I use it and find it much faster than Vista's defrag utility.

Is the IE crash reproducible 100% by visiting certain URLs?

Check in Tools / Manage Add-ons - what is listed there that isn't Microsoft Corporation and is enabled?

Do you run AV with some kind of "web guard" agent?

Many URL or Links scanners in recent Anti-virus are known to cause IE crashes.

I had to disable the new URL checker in Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 because it was causing crashes in IE8 and Firefox.

Try looking if your security program uses something like that and disable it.
