Internet Explorer has encountered a Problem . . . . . .

[Lisa]

When working on my webpage or browsing the internet I get
this message, "Internet explorer has encountered a
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience. Please tell Microsoft about this
problem." I submit an error report and then I'm kicked
off the internet (crash). I've been on the Microsoft
website researching this problem, but there are so many
things that I could update I'm not sure what to do. I've
been trying to resolve this since Sunday (updates,
deleting cookies, defrag, etc.) with no results.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Lisa

I'm having a similar problem with IE. I have to have 3
instances of it open to stay up and running. It affects
my hotmail acct. also in that hotmail freezes up. I've
noticed that this is worse early in the morning, don't ask
me why but I'm getting tired of this.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.
