I have a new DELL desktop with Vista. IE7 is getting this "Internet Explorer has
stopped working" message as soon as I start it. I have created a few Internet shortcuts
on my desktop to start IE7 with various pages as the initial page (my.yahoo.com,
comcast.net, www.annoyances.org). My home page is my.yahoo.com, but often when I
start IE7 it pops this message and stops immediately. Also happens with the comcast.net
shortcut. But when I start the shortcut for www.annoyances.org, it never gets the
error. Then I can navigate anywhere on the web and it stays running.
The other time I get this error is if I start typing a long search into the Google
toolbar search window. After about 16 characters, IE7 freezes completely and I have
to start Task Mgr to kill it.
Any ideas?
