As of this morning, IE7 has been constantly crashing whenever I visited Neowin or any other InvisionBoard forum. Since I have Neowin set as my homepage this has become frustrating so now I had to revert to FF2 for the time being. Does this happen to anyone else?

Is this on vista? I had the same problem but it was fixed by installing the most up to date flash player. Think IE crashes because IE was looking for an addon that wasnt there......... let me know if this helps...............

there are no addons whatsoever... IE7 is still the same as it was when I first downloaded it. This is Windows XP SP2 TabletPC Edition. This is what happen... I woke up went online to read the news.. i put my laptop into hybernate, get on the bus and go to school, I connect to the schools wireless network (which ive done for 3yrs now) and all of the sudden IE7 crashes. Im now home and its still crashing.

I also did a system restore to saturday... didnt solve anything, I checked the logs... nothin installed or happened in those 20min.

I think my problem with vista must have been really different problem. What anti-virus program are you using? Have you tried running IE in no add on mode?

I have McAfee Anti-Virus Plus and I disabled addons as well, but that doesnt matter anymore, now Firefox 2 is crashing as well on the same InvisionBoard sites including Neowin... wtf is going on, I scanned for viruses and spyware... even did Windows Live Safety Scanner... nothing, no problems.

Use Firefox or Opera. IE is garbage. I always see topics everywhere of people having trouble with IE. Not only because of viruses/malware, but due to its in-depth integration with Windows. Usually if something Internet-related is going wrong with IE, it will affect Windows and vise versa. I've been using Opera for more than a year now and before that I used FF for a year or so. Never have any problems infection-wise or stability-wise. Ever. I'd say I don't understand why people still use such a **** browser, but I do and it is very sad.

Also, get rid of the McAfee Anti-Virus, it's very system-heavy on resources. use freeware Avast. Much better. Don't use AVG, it sucks. Low detection rate and horrible GUI.

If you read my post above, I said that FF even crashes now... and I am now using Opera. I like Opera but IE7 is a necessity for work and school. Also your perception of McAfee is wrong. I have used Avast and AVG.. they are both crap, infact they claim to remove viruses only to find out when running norton or mcafee that the virus isnt gone. McAfee also is not heavy on resources.. mine uses 12,000kb average compared to AVG's 35,000kb and Avasts 23,000kb.

I have had the same problem with a number of forums. IE and Firefox both crash for me also. I'm not positive yet but I think I may have fixed it. I ended up having to download the stand alone full install of the newest Adobe Flash player.

You can find it here:

I have no idea why this would work or help forums but it must. Mine were always crashing when I was in the middle of typing a reply.

Let me know if you find another fix because I would be very interested too. :)

Thanks!!

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
