Internet Explorer restarts when trying to send emails!

So once again i'm posting a thread about an issue that has affected not only Hp's but other laptops w/ Vista. My company has Outlook Web-Access so we can check our emails while we are at home and out of reach of a corporate laptop. When my primary laptop was my girlfriend's Gateway w/ Xp sp2 everything worked flawlessly. On my laptop I can only read incoming emails. I used to have a problem that when I would go to make a new email a box w/ a red X would appear in the area where i'm supposed to add my message. Now i downloaded an s/mime control that was under the options tab in the email website. Well that worked when it came to adding text, but it opened an ever worse can of worms. Now when I go to send ANY messages it restarts I.E. I have tried many things but nothing has worked i'm wondering if it had to do with some security settings. I just dont have a clue on what to do anymore. I really need the email, as everybody knows.. Time is Money. Thanks.

First guess would be update IE via windows update or try Firefox. You may also need to configure IE's settings for your webmail to work, or you may have already configured IE and your changed settings are what's stopping you. Really its hard to say without knowing more info like what mail program your company uses and what you've done to IE since you started using it. At last resort try contacting your company's IT dept and see if they have a Vista IE workaround since that plugin is crashing IE over and over.

I agree, try switching to Firefox. You'll be glad you did. It's so much more secure than IE will ever be.

On the other hand, Firefox just ate all my bookmarks today , but I was able to restore them , since Firefox makes daily backups of all the bookmarks you have.

Regardless, once you switch to Firefox, you'll never go back (unless you need to view a webpage that only works in IE)

 

I agree with Teraforce, and also, there are very few webpages (besides Microsoft's) that don't support Firefox as well. Since Firefox became big most companies have been making their websites compatible with it.

 

How do I get firefox?

 

www.mozilla.org its a free browser replacement.
