Starting about a week or two ago, Internet Explorer 7 has been crashing on me nonstop. It crashes an average of about 10 to 15 times a day, which is ridiulous. I won't even be browsing content-heavy sites. I'll just be browsing a page with no problems then all of a sudden the screen will go all white and say Internet Explorer has stopped working. What's going on with this? I scanned for viruses and malware and came up with nothing. Usually this only happens when a ton of stuff is open, and then it's understandable, but it just happened and i had literally nothing but IE open.

Hi, is IE completely up to date? http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Yes, it's up to date.

Hi rory, what error message do you get when it crashes?

"Internet Explorer has stopped working"

I am having the exact smae problem except instead of a white screen it just shuts off and disappears and then gives me the error reort send/dont sent message. I will be looking for any advice, thanks

Hi folks, sorry about the lack of replies.
The easiest way to see to try and fix this is to download IE7 again and choose to Repair the Installation. (not sure on the wording of all that as I do not use IE, but I remember seeing it there.) Download details: Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP SP2

The other option you have is to just quit using IE all together and start using Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla - Home of the Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email client
It is much more reliable than IE is.
