    So after awhile now, I get a lot of errors while browsing with ie and it restarts the browser sending an error to microsoft or whatever...it is so irritating getting an error so often. I know theres firefox and others webbrowsers, but i really like using I.e because im so use to it.

    Does anyone else get alot of errors using ie?? is there any solutions besides using another web browser?

    What errors are you getting and what sites are you going on would be some nice info to have to assist you. I suggest you just switch to Firefox, even though you don't like change.

    Or Try IE based Browsers Like Maxthon or Avant mate ;)

    Maxthon is a great browser which offers right out of the box all(most) features Firefox .

    Are you by any chance using the beta Internet Explorer 8? Have you tried reinstalling Internet Explorer?

    In the end, I really suggest to switch to Firefox or Opera. Give it a while and you'll get used to the change and might like the new browser more.

    Yeah you're probably using internet explorer 8, and it's a beta, and a crappy beta, and from what I've heard on this forum, it's not even a "try things out and report stuff to us" beta.

    I have it too and it gives me errors left right and center. Get IE7 and you'll be fine again.

    yep, just you. never had an error on ie 7.

    you may want to think about a clean install of your OS.

    Have you tried reseting Internet Explorer, and removing or disabling the add-ons to internet explorer. If you try running IE with no add-ons do you still get the errors.?

    After i recieved my laptop, I did a clean install and didnt do any mods with the ie7. That is why im surprise no one else is getting errors like me because I left ie7 as it was. So i dont know if theres anything to do since its just random...

    did you have problems immediately after the new install or was it over time? what exactly do the errors say?

    do you have all the correct drivers etc? to find out, run this test. http://pcpitstop.com/betapit/pitstop.asp

    it will tell you if you have all the correct drivers along with telling you any other problems with your system.

    Yes, that's was happening to me a lot, and they all went away with SP1 upgrade. I still have a problem with CNN, I have tricked the authorized web sites list so I can play the CNN videos, so when the IE opens it gives me an error and opens two windows, one with CNN and another one empty, I can live with it.

    Have you gotten SP1?

    It seems like a spyware infection.
