    IE 7 Keeps Restarting with Vista Home Premium?

    I have a new custom PC with an ASUS P5N-SLI main board, Intel Core 2 Duo2.13 GHZ, 2 GB DDR2 memory 667 MHZ, Western Digital 250GB SATA 7200, nVidia 7600 512MB PCI – Express and a Sony DVD RW AW-Q170A CD drive and Vista Home Premium…my previous PC had XP Pro.

    Ever since I bought this PC with Vista, IE 7 will close and restart by itself maybe 3 - 5 times per day. Sometimes I get the MS message: “looking for a solution” which is a joke since it has yet to find a solution whenever I see that. Why does MS even put that message in Vista?

    What might be causing IE 7 to close and restart with Vista…never happened with XP Pro?

    My next computer will be a MAC!


    Thanks,
    Mike

    Web site errors and XD errors.

    After I turned off XD in the bios most of the IE issues went away.

    It could also be a buggy add-on. Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Internet Explorer (no-add ons), and see if that is OK.

    I'll try that...I'm getting Flash error messages even before my format. I did add a Logitech mouse/keyboard which I'm returning and will uninstall the software...I doubt that's doing it.

    Thanks,
    MIke

    IE 7 is currently running with no add-ons. So far today, IE has not restarted.

    OK, what you need to do then is to boot into the normal IE7, then go to Tools>Manage add-ons>Enable or Disable add-ons, and disable them all. Then it's just a matter or re-enabling the add-ons one by one until you find the culprit.

    Thanks! I have 5 add-ons running and I have a feeling Shockwave may be the one because of the shockwave error messages. Is Shockwave necessary for various web sites?

    I have Shockwave disabled in mine (I too had problems and am highly suspicious that is the culprit). I haven't experienced any problems with sites since disabling it, and that was months ago.

    I don't see where I can disable it or even find it to uninstall it?

    Thanks...now I see it! I also disabled One Note (Office Ultimate 2007) as "some" of my printing was go to One Note and I'd have to print from there.

    So far today, IE 7 has not restarted!

    Thanks again for the help...now off to the store to confuse myself on Canon PowerShots...too many options!
