The Kitchen Table

Internet Explorer

14 years ago

Are any of you having this problem? It is happening quite frequently. I have Yahoo as my home page and quite frequently when I go there to search something, a notice comes up and says "Internet Explore has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

I recently updated to Windows 7 and 32 bit. I have Internet Explore 8.

Is there a chance the problem may be in my settings, someplace? It is more of a nuisance than anything else.

Will look forward to all your suggestions.

thanks

It is an internal problem in the I.E. program.. After fighting that nonesense for over a year I finally downloaded Mozilla Firefox and have no more problems.

ivamae, I have the same issue when I log on to IE. I don't use it often, but I think it started about a month ago. Just a nuisance, as immediately after the notice, it runs fine.

I'm using internet explorer 11 with Outlook mail

I just answered the question as it was asked, which as stated seemed to have nothing to do with either IE 11 or Outlook mail. Don't know what other kind of answer you were hoping to get. "Shutting down" the computer certainly means that no virus/malware can get in or out...so your computer is safe. That's what you asked.

Nothing wrong with MSE, its fine. That remark by some Microsoft employee saying use some other a-v was dealt with and powers to be sort of reminded MS customers MSE and their other security programs were great and getting more aggressive with the adware/malware too in coming months. If you really want to try a new AV you might want to look at www.360Safe.com freeware that works.. Adblock in IE usually is a addon... click your gear, then 'manage add ons' and you should see it there in tracking protecting. Windows 7 & 8 have Trouble shooting in Control Panel... one of the items is IE and another you might look at is Networking. This post was edited by mikie on Fri, May 30, 14 at 5:28

I sometimes get that message when I have a loose connection, either with my cable modem or the Linksys router. It will clear after checking the connections and/or pushing the reset button. Just my 2 c's. Bejay

iexplore is what you run Whatever its home page is set to is what you will see when it starts up. So if the home page is set to Google.. that is what you see. If you want to change its home page, type into the address bar www.msn.com or what you want for the home page.. go to the page then typically click the gear on upper right and select internet options then you will see where to set the home page, set it to the page you have open by pressing the 'use current' button.

I switched from IE to Google Chrome and love it! I've had no problems like I did with IE, which I don't use anymore AT ALL!

IE is full of problems, both operational and very open to viruses...I switched to Mozilla Firefox about 5 years ago.

Count me among those who use Firefox.
I seriously know no one in real life who still uses IE!

Most use Chrome.

I have used firefox for as long as I can remember never really used any of the IE versions if I could help it, on my tablets I also use Opera mini and Dolphin browsers. There are so many better options than IE and of course everyone should have at least one other browser on the pc in case IE fails to work so you can still access the internet.

I have always used IE and had no trouble. However, recently I've been unable to upload photos to Photobucket, and I wondered if it was an IE problem.

Is Firefox free, Raven? Where's the best place to get it? Download.com?

It is free go to WWW.mozilla.com and select FireFox.
After you download it choose to run or install file it will at one point ask if you want to import your settings and bookmarks say yes to all,when asked if you want it default you can say no for now it can be changed anytime.

Once installed when you open it the first time it goes to the FireFox page so you know it installed properly. After that it should open to your normal homepage.

Any time you want to use instead of IE just click the FireFox icon on your desktop. You can use both at the same time.

I am using IE 7 and my internet provider is AT&T. ATT is using Yahoo!. A few years back, I updated to IE 8 and ran into several problems similar to descriptions in this post. It behaved like beta software. I decided not to be a beta user/developer and reverted back to IE 7 and have been using that version with little problem. Very likely in the next year or two, web designers will start using calls and features not found in IE 7 and it will become obsolete. At that point, I have to change, but until then, I'll continue with IE 7.

IvaMae,
IE and Windows 7 don't always get along. We had the same issue, and our work sent out an email to fix it.

Click on the "nut" icon at the top right, next to the little house and the star.

Click on Internet Options, then the Advanced Tab.

Scroll down near the bottom and make sure All of the TTL 1.0, 1.2 and 1.2 are UNchecked. This will fix your problem right away.
