ok... over the past few days... explorer has been acting funny - quitting at the most random times. mainly when im trying to view some intensive pages, but for the most part VERY randomly.
now i know alot of you are going to say "use safari" or "use netscape" (ok, maybe that one was a bit far fetched!!) but i really like i.e. (call me crazy). i think safari is too buggy right now, and all the other browsers make me feel a bit empty inside.
any suggestions as to why explorer might be quitting? any little 'cure-all' tricks i should know about?
btw, im in a dual 1ghz dp g4.
thanks in advance
peace

chuck away your internet prefs and the contents of your explorer prefs except your favourites and it will work fine. dont ask me why it just does.

Have up applied the MS updates recently?
Most of the time, when Windows (and explorer) flake out like that it is due to a driver/software library that is corrupt or missing.
You might try to update your OS.
And, after you do that, run the standard system care utilities - which is a good idea once a week or so anyway...disk clean, defrag and check disk...
Using a free space wiper is a good idea too...free's up a lot of space used by old deleted files...
Keeping your system clean and healthy helps prevent problems like this. I never experience bugs or crashes with my XP box or my Linux boxes, unless it is just something really hardcore.

actually, im on a mac...
i have the latest version of i.e. and i just updated my os to 10.2.4. also, i ran all my disk tools about a week ago.
this is really strange, i.e. was realy stable up until about 2 weeks ago. maybe it had something to do with the os upgrade?
any other mac users (who recently updated their jaguar) experiencing these same problems?
thanks
