has anyone else come across this as a problem?
I am using IE 7 Version 7.0.5730.11 running in XP SP2.
I get, but not all the time a situation where when opening another tab, IE7 closes completly, just crashes out.
open up again and everything is normal, then at another unrelated time, it does it again.
Anyone else had this?

Nope - mine's better behaved than that.

Having said that, isn't what you described within the specification for all Microsoft products? [:w]

At least its not the BSOD I suppose...

As a tutor at my college once said...

"There's two ways of writing software programs. There's the Microsoft way and there's the proper way!"

LMAO! [^]

Here is the quick easy fix.

If you're running AVG, Zone Alarm, Spybot or SpySweeper, or all of them, update them all with Zone Alarm and AVG off, then restart. I've talked to many people with ZA and AVG running at the same time, and if you don't update both of them, IE has a cat.

Running eBay's Toolbar? Update that too. The mix of all of them seems to cause the problem, which of course Micro$oft can't explain, since it 'isn't their problem.'

What they don't realize is that they are the problem! [V] (Before I stir the mighty defenders of M$, or the frenetic Mac fans, I shall stop my rant there)

yes, I am running Zone alarm, Spyboy S & D and Ad Watch, all up to latest versions

Not seen any problems here... but then I am running IE7 on a Mac under Vista (never thought I'd see myself type that!)

Well here is another IE7 problem, FIL ran A squared, not he cannot get IE7 to run unless he starts it with no add-ons, re-installed IE, still not working.

I am going to go to Vista to see if that makes any difference, once I have all drivers etc.. sorted first. XP has been good, but over the past year seems to have started being a trifle probmatical with each security/upgrade download.
I think that my poor old (two years) computer might be to blame as I have had niggles with Firefox as well.

You know, the bit about the latest security downloads gave me pause.

I didn't start having problems until M$ started doing their 'Genuine M$' cr@p during updates. Hmm. Wonder if the 'problem' is a generated one, to make customers try and update their systems to fix it, to catch all the pirated software?

If I can avoid Vista, I'm going to. I'm just not ready to give up Word yet, since most of the editors I deal with use it. Oh, I'd give anything to have old WordStar back...
