IE keeps crashing
Simon - 20/8/14 at 09:42 PM

Folks

Just started today; you get on certain webpages and eventually IE stops working. Screen says it's looking for the prob, then freezes. Every time you try restarting it opens where it left off, ie on the crashed webpage with the same error message.

Had to download Chrome to post this.

I know MS IE not everyones fave but I quite like it, despite its' probs so would like to fix.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks and regards

Simon

Hi

My IE appears to be working ok, and like you, i prefer it over Chrome, Mozilla etc

As a web developer I hate and detest IE with a passion normally reserved for car thieves. It causes me pain every day as I code in yet another "if it's IE do this..." - no wonder it breaks.

Just stick with Chrome - so much better in every way.

Of course, you have the right to choose it if really must though

you could have some dodgy stuff running.

I would suggest running the free version of

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

and see if it spots anything.

Is your windows patched to the latest and greatest via windows update?

Think it's up to date, but can't get it to open without trying to open previous page which crashes it.

Bit frustrating really
