HELP : Since Vista, Internet Explorer driving me mad

Hi all

I ve just changed from XP to Vista. Whenever I lose my internet connection, Internet Explorer closes down which is so frustrating.

I ve looked in Tools and Options but I just cannot find anywhere to stop it closing.

On XP if I lost my connection, it would just tell me but Internet Explorer wouldn't close down, it would just leave me on the same page.

Does anyone know what to do ?

many thanks.

    Do you install all the updates for Windows because I'm sure there's a fix for this. I have Vista and IE8 and it doesn't happen to me.
    A problem shared is a problem multiplied. :o

    I would guess that its IE7. I used to use this with Vista, and occasionally it used to hang, and there's no feature that closes it when you lose the connection that I'm aware of. I think the problems may be more to do with add-ins like Adobe, which seems to cause IE to crash quite a lot.

    This is the main reason I upgraded to IE8 which I have found to be much more stable.

    Your the first to say that. The amount of IE8 problems weve had on here is unbelievable

    haha ie8 stable? use firefox or google chrome instead, i find chrome more intuitive, simpler oh and its faster on a lot of benchmarks compared to firefox, but firefox is heavily customisable, so take your pick and break free of these issues forever!
