I'll be online, trying to browse, and then it'll come up out of nowhere and say "explorer: this application has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down", then everything clears so only the wallpaper shows, then it comes back but with half my programs running gone and without anything in the tray. This is f---ing ridiculous of how many bugs Windows can have and can crash itself from its own code. Any solutions?

Have you upgraded to the latest version with Windows Update? The version on the CD is really a beta version.

Yes, my computer came with it, but, honestly, newer versions of Windows have more bugs.

Have you ran tools to fix, and when you get this error there should be something that pops up I think it gives you the option to report to MSN at that time, haven't had trouble like that and had Win Me for 6 mo. Good luck Sue

Ihad thes same truble awile ago and i upgraded 2 the latest ver, then there were nomor freezing. But if u have the latest ver then u havdifferent truble.

Damn Explorer keeps crashing because its no good. I used explorer for a few years. One day someone told me to get rid of it, it was no good. How true he spoke. When i shifted to Netscape, it worked perfect. Jerry

Internet Explorer 5 falls short in the following areas: CSS 1.0 (Cascading Style Sheets standard--27 months old) - not fully supported XML 1.0 (eXtensible Markup Language) - not fully supported XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language) - not fully supported HTML 4.0 (HyperText Markup Language) - not fully supported DOM 1.0 (Document Object Management) - not fully supported In addition, the project leader of the Web Standards Project is dismayed that Microsoft continues to add on to these standards with proprietary features at the same time that it never fully supports the baseline. For its part, Netscape has been working along with the W3C so that Navigator 5.0 fully supports all current Web standards. Microsoft worked with the W3C (WWW Consortium) to develop the standards that it is not supporting properly. Web developers can look forward to more debugging and more code messes and hassles than ever before now that Internet Explorer 5 is available. Raspberries OPINION Full support of standards is something that is necessary. There's a reason than many websites cater to 640x480 and version 3 browsers. It is because Internet Explorer 3 sucks. With the introduction of Internet Explorer 4, Microsoft got to where Netscape was with Navigator 3, and even handled some HTML coding errors more nicely than Netscape. However, you couldn't run Internet Explorer 4 on the same machine that you ran IE3, so IE3 quickly became obsolete and no one could QA for it. Now, at least Microsoft lets you install in a compatibility mode that lets you run IE4 with IE5 on the same system. You could always run all types of Navigator without worrying about losing your old QA versions. Microsoft continues to do the industry a disservice by not fully supporting all current standards. Microsoft should change its name to Mediocre-soft. What a bunch of jack-asses. They are like a chicken running around with no head, constantly creating new standards and new confusion, when the old standards were never fully implemented. I hope the DOJ splits it into three companies and gets the world out of this Microsoft mess. Is Microsoft the reason that Navigator crashes all the time, or is it Netscape's fault? I couldn't tell you, but I bet someone at Microsoft could. Navigator is just not stable enough for me to run as my primary browser, and it may be Microsoft's fault.
