Explorer crashes

[eden]

About a week ago, this began.
Often Internet Explorer would stop responding (one of the many IE windows open). My brother's user has also Windows Explorer crashes as well.

System just doesn't seem to be stable in IE lately for no reason.
I have tried uninstalling so many things, including all Java machines, leaving and setting the use to the Microsoft VM. I've used AdAware 6 to scan, but only cookies were found. I also cleared them all and my TIFs.
I've uninstalled some programs, though nothing in particular that could interfere with IE. I've looked at the processes loaded, but nothing unusual, and also checked out for possible Services or Startup items which could be suspicious.

Honestly don't know what is causing this, but if only MS had a repair feature for IE, or even a reinstall.

EDIT: I also noticed this easily happens more when I press Back or Forward several times. It just loses stability and stops responding. Not saying it only happens by that though.

((Look, i do not want to look like a vendor)), I just suggest you guys to use Netscape, problems like yours was weekly thing’s for me, I hate Micromoushi(soft)they own every thing and bullies around company's that as good idea's or just buy and put their fifi name on it and as fast as they can launches the product before it's complete, why do you thing all those easy fixable bugs are in the final cd that they sell,>time>time is money, don't forget that they are in a race at NASDAQ. So until a new company understands that wes, wes its time that one OS merges from the bottom, why? Because I do not know one single person that would not change for another operating system,but we have no choice.hopefully LINUX will rise and stop being a lame shareware with no other thing to do Xept doing some programming and a few games. Anyway, here I am two months later with this Netscape and not one time it did something weird, not a pinch, plus last week I found that in the Netscape preferences you can choose to block pop ups just like the one you can buy or share<!!! And plus if you do change you will see that its quite faster than E, much faster, I do not know why but some people said that its because of the DOT NET ( .net )?? _See you around_____________________________________

Ok, its a tie in those days, i am using 7.02 in these days, i did not use version 6 or whatever, i started at 7.01, by reading that article i can say that some things was fixed because i don't have any proplem. I actualy still use sometimes E(2% to put a visible #) but i close it as soon that i realize that i am wasting my time at some slow forums and Netscape would frie in with less time, so i go back and do my main stuff with Net. And if you want another good browser to adjoin to the list well try Opera i have that to, it's Lycos, i use it for underground search, wich i found a ton with it. What the .u.. i am saying, just try them all its free, so do your conclusion yourself, use it side by side and you will see. see you!!!

I think you make a good point about not using IE. And from what I copied over it makes me think twice. I’m trying Opera at the momment, maybe I’ll even try Netscape like you say it’s an options.

"Internet Explorer has been a veritable pool of bugs. “So what?” you say. “Doesn’t every browser have bugs?” you ask. Yes that is true. Opera has bugs, Mozilla has bugs, Internet Explorer has bugs. But Internet Explorer’s bugs are akin to Florida cockroaches — they’re big, nasty, and hard to kill. Even worse, since Internet Explorer is integrated into the Windows operating system, a flaw in IE can compromise your entire computer."

PS. Netscape looks alright, think I’m going to check it out for a few days. I like it’s Radio, and fun stuff for kids, that’s a plus.

I have to say one good thing about Netscape and Opera they can be easily removed.

One good thing about forums is that you learn more. I haven't seen that kids stuff on Netscape. Where do you find it(sorry that it is not the topic but we are here now)? See Ya!!!

I suppose an SP1 free system can be good, but it's on now, and I ain't going to re-install now!

It's been stable for the past days so far, dunno why.
But what is XPdite?

My fault, I didn't link XPdite to Steve Gibson's site...
