Just got a new pc, microsoft updates has automatically installed ie7, more often than not when i use ie7 it just crashes, when i use the live search, when i type in an web address, etc, etc. Any suggestions?

Have you updated all your third party add-ons? - Java, Adobe flash, adobe, ect. Checked for viruses, adware/spyware? yup!

thanks josh but this is a new pc out of the box, was 5 minutes old. i could scan for viruses but i highly doubt there are any, also would those addons be something i would of installed or something that comes installed that i need to update because microsoft hasnt? Just this is my first look at ie7 and so far its not impressing me!

Maybe you should re-install it, if something went wrong last time internet explorer7 Do you use a lot of tabs ? I don't think Microsoft has really figured out tabbed browsing yet, but I applaud them for trying. ------- It takes a second to like somebody, a minute to love somebody but a lifetime to get rid of that bstard The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard.

Try changing these settings: Step One: Start Internet Explorer Tools -> Internet Options -> select Security tab. Click the "Custom level" button. In the Settings box, scroll down to the "Scripting" section. Click "Disable" under the "Active scripting" sub-category. Step Two: You should change the following setting in the same Settings box area. Scroll up to the "Miscellaneous" section. Under the Miscellaneous section, continue to scroll down to the "Navigate sub-frames across different domains" sub-category and click "Enable". Click the OK button. Click the OK button again.
