IE 6 Keeps Crashing in XP

[Konspiracy]

Anyone else get this?

When I reply to a post IE crashes. It only seems to happen when Im on here

Its probably my version of Explorer (shitey windows..)

yeah....

...could be an SP2 issue... just transfer to Mozilla Firefox... it loads pages at least 2/3rds quicker than IE, you can import your IE favourites very easily, it has an integrated download basket and a few other nice tools.

I'm loving it at the mo.

Yeah, thought it might be a Service Pack problem

Dunno about changing browsers tho, Ive a standard build lappy and the geeks at work will have a wobbler if they see something uncertified on the comp :S

Aye, tech controllers do get a bit funny like that - run it by them tho - I think its got less security flaws than IE6, so that could be a selling point?

if your certain that its explorer thats the issue then you can use other browsers like firefox as previously mentioned or opera (although I prefer the simplicty of IE meself:| ) and cant be arsed farting around with something new.


I dont think its quite that easy to overwrite or repair IE if it goes belly up as it is an integrated part of winxp, but theres a registry tweak which makes windows think that IE is not installed and the windows update will auto install it for you by d/ling it from the microsoft site.

firefox is a shit load more secure and less likely to get viruses in temp files as well, plus pop ups dont work there targeted to explorer.

Try windows up date although I think 6 is the latest version, not sure cause i think its pants, if you have a reg cleaner use it and clean out your registry.
