IE 7 Pro

[Iron-Horse]

Since getting my new computer last year I have had more crashes with Internet Explorer that I had even with the infamous Windows Millennium. I thought I had the answer when IE 7 Pro came along but I still get as many crashes (Usually when I in the middle of something I have spent ages finding) Contrary to what the blurb says it doesn't always find the links that you were using at the time of the crash. Does anyone else have the same problem? Is there a solution?

I have FireFox but my wife finds change hard, this is the only reason I stick with IE. Just out of interest within 30 seconds of posting my question I turned to speak to my wife and it crashed again, it didn't find the Tabs that I had up at the crash.

try reinstalling IE (BTW there is no such thing as IE pro)

Make sure you do not install IE8 as that is still in beta, the link for ie7 is towards the bottom of the page

"I have FireFox but my wife finds change hard"
So here's a revolutionary concept - you use Firefox, and your wife can use IE

IE7Pro includes Tabbed Browsing Management, AD Blocker, Flash Block, Super Drag Drop, Crash Recovery, Proxy Switcher, Mouse Gesture, Tab History Browser, Inline Search, User Agent Switcher, Webpage Capturer, Greasemonkey like User Scripts platform, User Plug-ins and many more power packed features. You can customize not just internet Explorer, but even your favorite web site according to your need and taste using IE7Pro.

The above is a copy of the blurb from the IE7 Pro that does exist I assure you. I will however look at the link you have kindly sent me and with crossed fingers hope that my sanity will also be restored.

I use firefox but my wife insists on using IE and moans about it crashing all the time and losing what she was inthe middle of.

OK, I have had a look and IE7pro is an add-on for IE7 and it's not an official MS add-on.

I would suggest disabling the add-on and seeing if that helps to stop the crashing.

Hi Chuck, My original reason for installing the IE7 Pro was because of the frequent crashes in IE7, I would be no better off as a previous answer seems to support, but thanks. I am beginning to warm to the idea of doing battle with my Mrs. by switching to FireFox

Firefox is generally a better browser, faster and more sucure... but to get back to your IE problems..

If you were having problems with IE crashing then adding another add-on is almost certainly not going to help, if anything you should be looking at removing any add-ons as it's likely these that is causing the problem.

to try and cure the problem with IE I would uninstall it and then reinstall from fresh and try using it without any add-ons at all.
