Why does Internet Explorer crash so much? Maybe 1 to 3 times each session. I can have three tabs going, no more than 4 and poof I loose everything. My son says that tabs slow me down but isent that what they are for so that you can do a couple things at a time? Any one have any 411 on this?

I might be able to help a little bit more if you could tell us your machines specs, processor , ram etc. also does it crash while using flash or just regular web pages or both, you check for spyware regularly? what kind of net connection do you have? opening a few tabs shouldn't really bog down your machine or even crash unless you have very little ram, a slow processor, or there could be a problem like Internet Explorer could be using 100% of the systems resources which is not hardware related...theres a lot that could be the problem. But I would suggest you goto Firefox it has the same tabbed browsing and will keep you a little safer online.

goodness, sounds like I would really like to pick your brain!Ok ...Windows XP service pack2 , I just added additional ram about three months ago. I run spyware and virus protection and clean up stuff often. IE crashes on any paage on any given time. I undestand when I got lots of stuff gonin on but sometimes it freezes soon as it comes up. I am interisted in what u said about 100% of resources. Can u tell me any more about that or somewhere I can learn or get 411 more abou that?
Thanks, apprciate your help

Internet Explorer is generally slow and clunky, that's why I haven't used it for a couple of years now! You should definitely try Firefox, it is very easy to download and install, has tabs like IE7 and is much more customisable. Or you could take a look at Opera, that's pretty good as well. I like the fact it has a mail program built-in, and of course tabs too.

I dont think that it crashes too much, there must be some other problem, yes if u open many internet xplorers, it will slow down browsing, regardless of tabs or individual instances of xplorer
