Microsoft Internet Explorer - IExplorer does not work


Expert: Lorry - 10/1/2009

Question
Hey there.  Starting yesterday Internet explorer has stopped working on two computers in my network.  When I open the program I get a dialogue box that says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close..."  I then click the x box and it freezes. Eventually I have to Task Manager to close the iexplorer program.  If i close the explorer program then I need to restart.  My mozila browser works fine.  I have reset the home page to blank through internet options in the control panel but it has not helped.  I am stumped

Thank you.

Answer
Hi Spencer,

Try a simple thing : go to tools in IE8 then click on Compatibility View Settings,and then check: Display all websites in Compatibility View.

It worked for me and it's completely reversible.

From: http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-vista-windows-7-suppor...

Try running IE7 in No Add-Ons mode. Does the problem still occur? If not, one of the third-party add-ons is the culprit.

The following site explains How to Fix a Crashing Internet Explorer in Vista at:

Hope this helps!
