Trig Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hi guys, for some reason my Internet explorer has gone haywire? Everytime I open it a box comes up saying "Internet explorer has stopped working" check online etc or close the program are the only options I have? I haven't got an earlier restore point As I've only just started using windows vista and xp created them for u! I haven't got the reboot discs either as I bought the laptop second hand, any of u guys k ow anything I can try or should I take it to a shop?

Max Headroom Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Download firefox, my IE has stopped working for some reason as well, I think it may have been an update, not sure though. Firefox is so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 I've got firefox as well and that's doing the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Not used IE for years used Firefox. Had a glitch this morning, all searches came back to a Google screen I had not seen before. Deleted all cookies, shut down, restarted all back to normal. I think the first poster can down load Firefox as his IE has stopped working. Can you access net in safe mode???

Bobbeh Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Google crome for the win! BTW, have you had a look at the error logs in the event viewer to see what might be the problem? Try re-installing IE from windows add/remove programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 If all your browsers are doing it, then there is something wrong if your system. I suggest virus checks, delete all your cookies, cache and such. Another problem could be a bug on your homepage causing your browser to crash. Try to change the homepage and see if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I'll raise you Opera 10.5. Not tried opera since it was a text based browser going on 10 years ago.. but I'm so happy with Google Chrome I don't want to stop using it (yes, that is ignorant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
