I.E. not working----

I keep having a problem with IE. The message I get is: I E has stopped working correctly. Windows willl close the program and notify you if a solution is available. This happends VERY often, sometimes I can't even stay on the net because of this. Do any of you have any idea of what is going on? This is a brand new computer, an HP, running Win 7 so I am very unhappy with this!

Hi KLO - Welcome to w7forums

Look for "Manage Addons" from the "Tools" section of the "Menu Bar".
Disable all your addons and see if that helps. Then you can enable them one by one if that seems to be the problem.

And if that doesn't help, upgrade to a real web browser, like Firefox, Chromium, or Opera.

Core just because you don't like IE doesn't mean you have to bash IE. I use IE and for the most part I don't have any troubles with it. Those are nice suggestions but please stop bashing what you don't like.

KLO, welcome to the fourms! Are you using the 32 bit IE? There should be a 32 and 64 bit version on your computer. Most are using the 32 bit version over the 64 bit one, with better results. I had to do the same as Clifford described above once with IE. I hope you get your issue resolved soon.

I have the same error "Internet Explorer has stopped working" with 32bit version, even when running the "No Add-ons" version. The 64bit version works fine, but as everyone knows, Flash has yet to be updated to work with 64bit version.

This is happening on all my new computers that have Windows 7 and Office 2007 installed.

Any suggestions?

BTW, I have also tried turning IE 8 off, rebooting and turning it back on.
(via "Turning Windows Features on or off")

And still, the IE 64bit works, while IE 32bit does not.

Having tried Fire fox and discarded it, I personally would definitely NOT say that installing it would be an upgrade. Have you tried System restore? Do you have a back up in a program like Acronis?

If you cannot get IE stable enough for you to use, you can try running it in Compatibility Mode, if you can apply that to IE. Otherwise, Firefox would be a good browser to use, I use it on a daily basis, with no issues. There are three more that you can try, too. As Core mentioned, there's also Chrome and Opera. Safari is also a good one. You don't have to permanently use these if you don't want, use them until you get the issues with IE resolved. You may actually like one of the alternates better. Firefox is the most customisable browser on the market, with many add on's to choose from. P.S. Clifford, I'm not bashing IE, just giving the member some alternatives from which to choose.

Have you tried Clifford's suggestion in his first post above? Because if 64bit IE works, then it is likely a plug-in, add-on, or other integrated program that is installed in 32bit IE but doesn't install in the 64bit version (which happens to be most of them).
