Internet Explorer Has Stopped Working - Message

even i had the issues with the internet explorer.. after 13 years of working with windows.. i did find that most virus programs, trojans etc target internet explorer.. and i had reported many security holes...

there are many alternatives present... i bet the firefox is the best.... very very less known issues and works welll...

hey do one thing try reparing(add or remove programs/ program features) select repair(microsoft office).... ... update/install internet explorer 8.....

i think  by doing this the errors may go and ie will work welll....

other wise think of this as an initiative to shift to firefox...

Everytime I try to download firefox I get the same error - EI has stopped working.  Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Thanks

I ran the repair microsoft office & updated ie and still having issues.  I can't download firefox because i get the same error?  Any other suggestions?

thanks

Good that you have been searching for threads that may contain solution to your problem, but seeking help by replying & multi posting in older similar threads is not normally recommended

You have done the correct thing by starting your own thread in this Microsoft OS Forum

Better if you stick to replies posted in your own thread, otherwise it can become confusing

Same problem here.  Vostro 1510; get lots of Internet Explorer has stopped working messages.  Lots of disk activity for 5-20-30 mins after resumption from hibernation.  Cannot see what process is doing this.

OS is Vista.  Partners laptop (Toshiba same OS) doesn't show the same problem.

I've stopped avgchsvx.exe which appeared to be causing much disk thrashing.

Also stopped searchindex.exe.  I though i'd stopped indexing but went for the brutal approach in the end.

I had a similar problem with IE8 and Windows 7 - mostly when viewing flash based content.  It is hard to impossible to find acknowledgment of problems or fixes on the MS website when it comes to windows 7, but I did find some forum posts that suggested a couple of things.  Sorry, I can't find the particular posts right now, but the two things to do, which did work in my case, were changing these two things in the internet settings as follows:

-Reset IE settings under Advanced tab
-under manage addons, disable ssv2

I suspect (which would explain why a reset on a newly installed machine fixed the problem), that in my case this may have been an after affect of using the Microsoft easy save and transfer utility to get settings and some data from the previous vista avtar of the PC before I did the clean install of Win 7

Hope this helps.

Hi stgmted,

Sometimes, just when you thought your computer is in a perfect condition, your windows explorer stops working, freezes up, and restarts over and over again. You get error messages like  such as "windows explorer has stopped working" followed by "windows explorer is restarting". You have done nothing wrong but the machine keeps stressing you out.
