Why does Internet Explorer keep shutting down on me?

[rox]

Recently I got a windows upgrade and got the new version of Intenet Explorer that has tabs. I use my middle moue button to click on links and open the linked webpage in a new tab. Fairly frequently, especially when I have a lot of tabs going, when I click on a link to open a web page in a new tab the whole broser closes down on me. does anyone else have this problem/ does anyone know a fix/ Thanks

I've been on since this morning and no problems here at all. Now I did DL IE-7 and I had a world of problems with it and I removed in and I'm on IE-6 and happy

IF it's the IE7 upgrade, that's most likely the cause. Bad news and many problems with it. I had a PC at work that was set for automatic updates and IE7 was downloaded...what a nightmare. Even after removing it, still had problems. Fixed everything buy using system restore and going back to IE6

thanks guys, although i am diappointed that the solution is to go backwards. hopefully with some time on this message board others will come up with a solution other than "un in stall it' i do like the tabbed browsing. i used to always open thigs in a nw window. the tabs are nice. I msut confess that i am too lazy to download and try other browsers. i jsut stick with ie. i ahve so much other stuff to do, I jsut don't want the aggrivation of swithcing to a different browser. again thanks for replying

You might download firefox. I use it for browsing. Not nearly as many problems IE. Also, it will automatically transfer your current setting from IE. Then you won't have to rollback your computer either.

I like Firefox, too.

Mozilla - Home of the Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email client

Ditto on the Firefox - best ever, on the PC and the Mac.

Wow, I'm the opposite; IE6 drove nuts with constant crashes. I've not had any with IE7. Firefox is not compatible with most every business site I have to frequent for work. And, no, I haven't the time nor desire to download 6 dozen add-ons to Firefox to get it to work. I liked it, but it was loaded with problems with compatibility with business sites. The one feature I really liked was the tabs. That was picked up by MS with IE7. Firefox on longer resides on my machine. I guess if I did no business on on secure sites with my machine I may have liked Firefox but, unfortunately, that's not the case for me

I must be one of the lucky ones. Switched over to IE-7 on three computers with no problems.
Still use Foxfire, but getting more used to IE-7 and like it better.
