IE7 (and IE6 before) crashing.

Hi,

I know the answer is probably Firefox (but I like the fact that I can view posts here by hovering the mouse over them in IE), but please can anyone offer any advice on sorting out my IE7?

This used to happen sometimes in IE6 too, but if I close a second IE window, then now about 50% of the time, IE stops responding. It has even started happening very occasionally when I close a tab now! :mad: :mad:

Any suggestions please?

Regards,

White.

    Internet Explorer 7 does not start correctly or stops responding unexpectedly.

    To reproduce the IE behaviour when hovering over posts, install FF add on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1715/, one of several similar - search for firefox popup alt.

    One think i hate about IE6 and IE7 is when you receive a reply to your post on email and when clicking on link it takes you at the start of the subject rather than from the last person posted.
    I still can't understand why people stick with IE
    While I breathe.... I hope
