IE keeps shutting down

Not sure what's going on or whether it's this new IE Bing, but my IE shuts down on it's own several times a day. Not good. Last night I was on a forum and it shut down 4 times in less than 45 minutes.

I'm not fond of Firefox, and someone just told me about Google's Chrome which I just downloaded so not sure how that will go.

Anyone else experiencing this rather newer problem with IE continuously shutting down then re-opening again?

Thanks,

Deb

I found this elsewhere on the net...
Click TOOLS from IE

INTERNET OPTIONS

ADVANCED

Click RESTORE ADVACED SETTINGS

Click RESET on "Reset Internet Explorer Settings"

OK

APPLY then OK

Restart the IE again it should be over.

I also read where turning off Skype add-ons solved the problem for some.

Are you using Vista? and IE 7 maybe?

I would suggest uninstalling AOL . Then you can reinstall from the AOL disk you have, just follow the instructions as a current member. All your setting, favorites, etc. will be there. I have had AOL9.1 for ages and have no problem. Actually I use Firefox, or IE for surfing. I can reach AOL using them, but find it easier to check my mail and use my old favorites from AOL. Since AOL is free it was just easier for me to keep it. Are you sure that the problem is AOL? Uninstalling it and the running your PC without it for a while should tell you if it is an AOL problem.

did this just recently start happening? did it work fine say a week ago? If you answer yes then probably the easiest thing for you to do is simply go back in time to a date that it was working fine for you. This is very easy and simple to do. Click start>all programs>accessories>system tools> system restore. Open system restore and choose to go back to a previous date, it will open a calendar that has some dates and times showing when you have restore points saved, select one of those dates and restore points when your IE was working fine and tell it to restore the pc to that restore point, it will tell you to reboot do that and it will then set your pc back to the settings from that time. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084 there is some instructions you can copy and paste that into your browser. The other option is download and use firefox browser.

Computer won't shut down

Unfortunately my sudden refusal to shutdown, seems to be quite regular. I click "Turn Off From the Start Menu" We get to the windows is now (closing)shutting down screen, the jingle plays...and we are not on nor off. Its Microsoft limbo hell. Mouse control has shut down. Can I delete .Net Framework 2.2 without hell to pay? My gut feeling is my problems are stemming from .net or the Merc board. The Merc board once shut down my Morrowind game and cancelled the tilde key assignment. Even Bethesda Softworks said there was nothing I could do. Ideazon support told me to upgrade my all keyboard drivers to hid, and that (unknowingly) knocked out the PS2 keyboard drivers used by the laser mouse assignments...it wasn't until I redownloaded the laser mouse drivers, did everything start to work. I can now cheat on my game to my hearts' content. (The tilde key brings up a game console where dirty little cheaters, like me, can enter codes to cheat.) This driver install and uninstall freeze with this crappy keyboard, that I'm stuck with to save money, is going to break me. It might have caused some problems. I had to reboot my computer from the default settings in bios. Although there was a warning on the Microsoft update site about one of .net updates rendering some computers unresponsive? Well! gee. I CANNOT DO A SYSTEM RESTORE! I tried a few different restore points...and honest to Pete!...I got this message saying the system hadn't changed so they weren't going to bother, there wasn't any point!? I mean, I never!!! What the????

bing is the new name for Microsoft search so if you previously had MS search you now have bing, if it was added after some update it may have added a tool bar you can go to your add remove programs area and if you see bing listed there you should be able to select to remove it.

It didn't work. After doing the steps above, it crapped out 20 mins. later. Oh well.

Raven....I don't see Bing on my add/remove list, but I know that's what IE I have.

You might try running malwarebytes.

Apart from Sue's suggestion of running Malwarebytes - or similar - have you considered heat?

Does this only happen while you use IE or at other times when you are using other programs as well? How long since you were inside the case blowing out the dust bunnies?

You write then reopening, are you saying the program just restarts of it's own accord?

Yes...IE completely shuts down on it's own, then immediately reopens again back to the starting point of MSN.com which is my default page.

I can try running Malware. I don't think heat is the problem as it's only IE that shuts itself down, then reopens...not other programs I have have open such as Windows Mail.

Well that is indeed a strange situation. Perhaps using the link below from MS to do a repair would cure the issue for you.
