For the last 3-4 months for no reason, that I can tell anyway, IE7 just stops responding and I have to close it, it also wants me to send an error report but someone once told me never to send one, don't know why. Also it seems to happen more when i'm viewing LPF, maybe this is just a coincidence though ?? Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had a fix for it ? Swapping to another browser is not an option for me due to my lack of time and PC knowledge. Actually i'm already screwed because my new Laptop i've ordered was only available with Vista so i'm going to be pulling MUCH hair out when I have to use it ;D ;D

I had this on my XP laptop and I gave up and went with firefox, I'm not sure if there's a fix for this and believe me your not alone with this happening either...
On my Vista laptop I've still kept firefox as it seems that IE7 is bloated and takes too long to load...

Morepower,
It only takes a few minutes to install Firefox and you can even import your IE bookmarks into it. This will not change anything having to do with IE. In addition Firefox is more secure browser and not the memory hog IE is. I never use IE unless there is a website that does not work properly with FF and those are very few.

I've never had a problems with IE7. I only switched to FF since I found out about all of the cool addons. Other than those though, I don't see how its better than IE7. If anything its worse because of the stupid download windows that keep popping up and certain pages on the net need to be loaded in IE7 (but thank God for that converter addon :p)
