Hi

Hi,

Click start, type 'internet explorer' into the search line. One of the menu
options will be to load it with 'no addons', try this one. If it works,
then the problem is with a plugin, and you will need to disable those that
are loading with IE in the control panel/internet options/programs
tab/manage addons.

Yes, just about everybody, because Vista is "Broke out of the box".

Don't think so bud, I have been running Vista Ultimate 64 bit since late Feb
and have yet to experience a program freeze much less a system crash.
Has been rock solid for me.

Have you tried Firefox?

Both pieces of software that work for it are good, eh? :)

There is no bigger piece of garbage than IE. For free you can download
the latest version of Firefox and then ad a bunch of plugins for all sort
of aids and have a great browser. You do not even have to uninstall IE to
try it. It is really great.
