IE in Vista crashes more often than XP

[Guest]

I seem to get more "IE has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
errors in Vista than XP. Why is that? (The IE addons are no different in
Vista than in my XP installation which I dual boot with).

AM--

Add ons in Vista can cause crashes, but I don't know if they do statstically
more than in XP. Try running SFC and see if it helps you. It's not a
cureall, but it can often help IE problems.

Type "cmd" into the Search box above the Start Button>and when cmd comes up
at the top of the Start menu>right click cmd and click "run as Admin" and
when the cmd prompt comes up at the cmd prompt type "sfc /scannow" no quotes
and let it run. This may fix things quite a bit. It replaces corrupt files
with intact ones, if you're not familiar with it.

Good luck,

CH

What? You added addon(s) not knowing if they are Vista compatible?

I've noticed that myself (I'm up to 2-3 crashes a day under Vista). I
believe it's usually Flash, but try to browse the web without it these days.
