Hi,

I have recently installed IE8 and whenever I open youtube, IE crashes and restarts the browser. Happens only with youtube and all other sites are fine. I have reinstalled lastest version of Flash player but still same issue. I have removed IE8 and reinstalled it after several days but still same issue only with youtube. Is this a known bug with IE8 or should I be changing some settings?

Thank You!!

See event logs.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

I'm sure it has something to do with Ie8.
Try Firefox to see if it works there !
