with being on-line. It's really getting to suck.

I have two PCs a one month old Gateway notebook running Vista and 3 yr old Dell desk top running XP. Both have the same problem IE 7 quits responding. I could on-line pay bills,up loading pictures, reading the forums, working on my scrapblog,down loading music what ever it is IE 7 quits no reason just quits responding then IE either shuts it self down or I have to force the computer to shut down and reboot it. I have done the IE updates I have my virus protection up to date. I just think this whole internet thing as gone bad I think it's trying to kill us off by driving us insane.

Try Firefox, way less problems. I haven't used IE since I found it a few years ago. It doesn't crash!

Not sure it's your problem but there's a problem with the Yahoo toolbar. If you have it installed that might be the issue. There's supposed to be a new version but I'm not sure as I just uninstalled it completely.

Only IE 7 problem I've had was self inflicted when I uninstalled some Dell software, had to reinstall my PC security package to get IE to work without shutting security down.

Firefox is the way to go or on your XP desktop you could roll back to IE6 7 is junk but again Firefox is the better way to go my 2 cents

Friends don't let friends run IE. They help them get Firfox.

I switched to FireFox during the first beta and haven't gone back to IE. I haven't allowed the auto update to give me IE7 either. I just don't have any reason to use IE anymore, Firefox works on every major site I've been on and with a few add-on's like NoScript, AdBlockPlus, and a few others my browser is much more secure from potential bad sites.

As it has already been said, give Firefox a try.


Getting there may be half the fun, but I'll keep enjoying the other half too!
