Tips & Tricks: IE7 Continously Crashes

by Milo on November 29th, 2007

One day my Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista crashed. The next thing I know it crashes every 30 seconds or so and I could no longer do any work. It was annoying and I tried searching for updates in Microsoft but couldn’t find any.

I grew tired spending a lot of time looking for the solution and I thought of looking at all the add-ons enabled in IE7. I disabled them one at a time and tested whether it caused IE7 to crash. Luckily, I found out that a certain add-on installed by an online banking I accessed crashed my IE. After disabling it, IE7 runs at the same level of performance and stability it used to.

When your Internet Explorer begins to behave abnormally, check out all the add-ons installed and see the culprit application that makes your life difficult. Check the author of that application if they have updated their add-on to work in Windows Vista without any problems.

    Maybe someone else has had this frustrating problem and will be happy to know how to fix it.

    When booting up into vista, the mouse would not start - instead I needed to restart and then the mouse would be active.

    By changing the PS2 check in the system setup (F10 at boot) to “enable” from “Auto” the mouse now always comes up.

    Although mine did not crash all the time it did crash, I installed service pack1 and updated all of my drivers. So far at least the proble seems to have been addressed. If you are using N”Vidia ther are several updates to install Re: STABILITY.If motherboard supports N force there are updated drivers as well.I think Windows released Vista way too early,before they had ironed out all the bugs…
