Internet explorer 8

[Ritchie]

I have major problem...IE8 keeps shutting down with the msg Internet explorer
has encountered a problem and needs to close, i send the error report and
restart my computer. Same thing occurs on restart. I have uninstalled and
re-installed IE8 on numerous occasions and got all the updates. Now IE8 just
flashes up for a sec ond and then closes without any error msg. I tried
uninstalling and installing again but nothing seems to be working. I have
scanned for malware and viruses and nothing comes up(McAfee). I am running
XP home.
I am using safari to access the web but would really rather IE.
Please help!!
Thanks,
Ritchie

Hello Ritchie:

How does this relate as help for the original poster, "kf"? It's very
bad etiquette to steal the thread of a poster as it profoundly
confuses the issue.

If you have an Internet Explorer or an IE8 issue, please consider
starting an entirely *new* thread of you very own were you post a
great deal of technical information such as your exact OS details.

I would also make the suggestion that you make that post in the
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general newsgroup.

Regards,

Pete

Well actually i am the original poster and this is a new thread...I would
have a look before saying its bad etiquette to steal someones post. I didn't
ask for criticism, I just asked for a little help. If you can't help, don't
reply.

[According to his post's headers, he didn't hijack the thread: His post just
happens to have an identical subject as many other previous threads here.]

When you start Internet Explorer 8, it opens and then closes immediately

Internet Explorer stops responding, stops working, or restarts

If you need further IE assistance, please post to

Hello Ritchie:

Please accept my genuine apologies. My newsreader linked your post
with the thread of another poster. My bad. Had I checked the headers
closely, I would have seen this.

I see that you've cross posted to a newsgroup that may better meet
your needs. Good luck to you sir.

Best wishes,

Pete
