Lately when I on the internet I'll go to some websites and internet explorer will just shut down. It dosent give me any error or anything other than just shutting down. It often happens when I click on a link to another website, but not always. Anyone have any suggestions?

You said "lately" so I'm assuming you have run IE7 previously without this problem. If that is the case, it could likely be a software conflict -- firewall, anti-virus program, etc. What software, if any, did you install just before this problem started? You might try disabling programs - starting with the most recent installs - and test until you either find the culprit or rule out 3rd part software conflicts. This site http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase.html is dedicated exclusively to IE7 -- explains a lot and deals with troubleshooting. You might want to check it out. Also, you might try another browser -- like Firefox -- and see if the same problem persists. Hope this offers at least some help. Good Luck.
