> For the past week, I have been having trouble with Internet Explorer. I
have version 6 SP2. I'll be surfing and then the browser will freeze and
then close automatically. Even if I have several open, they will all close.
I have all of the critical updates already downloaded, that doesn't seem to
help. I'm also running XP.
> Could some one let me know if they know why this is happening. It didn't
happen before a week ago.
> I also find that after I use Adobe Acrobat, IE freezes and closes. But it
also does it without me using Adobe Reader.
> What are the steps I can take to fix this? Is there a way to repair
Internet Explorer?
