IE7 keeps freezing

MrPink · December 12th, 2007

IE7 has been freezing up a lot lately. might start using firefox, unless it happens with that too

run some adware/spyware scan on your system. IE add-ons might also be the problem.

does it freeze up on specific things? is this some sort of reoccuring freeze that always happens when you do a certain thing or are they just totally random?

I'm sorry to say this: IE7 is a way more unstable than Firefox. If I enlarge the website, I have to point my cursor nowhere to open a link.

I have had random crashes with Youtube, too.

I hope that Microsoft will fix everything.

of course they will. someday. it may take them 10 or 12 years but they will get around to it.

You got it right.

Thinking about Windows development... Windows XP fixed most annoying problems of Win95, but still... you know what I mean.

IE8 actually passes a lot more test than IE7 does and seems pretty good. It even passed the (complete) Acid2 test. That's something you know, and a huge move forward for Internet Explorer since previous (and current released) version of IE completely FAIL (and very hard) the tests.

I still prefer Firefox, but at least we know MS isnt gonna take ages to fix things.

HAHAHA. Yeah, Microsoft will someday get around to it (like 12 - 20 yrs from now) Firefox is the best..

i have used firefox before, but try to stick with the web browser bundled with my OS.

this is because i have a 64 bit version of vista, and i feel that the browsers that came with it will be most compatible.

maybe this isn't even a valid excuse...

no, its an INVALID excuse.
