Internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close...again...and again...and again....?

when I am trying to connect to the internet I get the following message 'internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close', this happens every time. My connection is ok cos I can still use msn, and if i just drag the error message out of the way I can use the internet. It is on a wireless laptop but also happens when I connect to landline so dont think it can be a problem with my wireless connection. I have been on microsoft and hp sites and none of their trouble shootin tips help. sometimes the error message comes up as soon as I log on - before I have even tried to connect to the internet! can anyone help - this is driving me crazy!!

Thanks

OK. Sorry to hear about your problem. There are a number of steps i'd do to try and sort the problem.

First of all download 'Spyware Terminator' and use this to see if any spyware or adaware is causing the havoc. If anything is found, delete it and try running IE again.

If that doesn't work try installing AVG and see if a pesky virus is behind this.

If you still got a problem try re-installing IE and get the latest updates.

If all else fails you will have to start using Mozilla Firefox as an alternative.

Good Luck!

download firefox and see if u have any problems .. run a spyware sweeper of some sort ..
get firefox
switch to mozilla firefox. ie is poop.
I encountered the same problem and had to switch to firefox. I also suggest that you run an anti-spyware program like Spybot OR ad-aware (do not run the two simultaneously).
i have firefox and still having the same problem as you, i have 6 unread emails on yahoo that i cant read grrr.........
Please reinstall internet explorer and that will fix your problem.

And if you like you can update it to the latest version.

cheers
download the latest version ( internet explorer 7) if you havent done so already.
I've had that when I'm ON Line and I wondered if it was because they found spy-ware they couldn't handle so shut you down.
dont worry,your not the only one,this has happened to me on numerous occasions,and it drives me mad

i dont know why internet explorer continues to crash for so many users,you would think microsoft would sort this problem out,its never been a stable browser and this is a shame as if it was i would use it alot more

if you havent allready i would recommend you upgrade to internet explorer 7(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/product... is much more stable than its predesessor and is a intergral part of windows vista

or you could use any of the other browsers freely avalible to download,mozzila firefox(http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/)is probally the most popular alternative browser and is very stable,plus it has loads of free plug-ins avalible on-line

opera(http://www.opera.com/download/)is another popular browser and is very easy to use,and flock(http://www.flock.com/)is a similar type of browser which is aimed towards social networking and meeting people

my personal favourite is netscape8(http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/),its main feature is its built in security center with anti-spyware scanner and very good pop-up-blocker

good luck
I had same problem, came off I-E 7, and went back to I-E6, its much better.
