Title: Annoying little lappie problem
Post by: SuffolkPunch on September 11, 2006, 10:25:29 AM
Everytime I close down a web page (to shut Internet Explorer) I get one of those annoying Microsoft error jobbies and am invited to send an error report to Microsoft.

I always ignore it and off I go. Is there something I can do to stop this? There are no other problems with my lappie - it's more of an irritant than anything else!

Thanks!

You can disable error report sending too.  I can't remember how off the top of my head, but it's definatly possible.

Use Firefox anyway :)

Also, check for  a newer version of IE for the times that Firefox doesn't work. You shouldn't be seeing these errors everytime you close IE, occassionally is expected though. Check for the latest windows updates and ensure your machine is up-to-date.

Cheers,

Eoan

I'd go along with everybody else, I had this happening with IE at work so changed to Firefox like I use at home and haven't had any problems with it.

There is an extension you can use with Firefox called IE Tab, which means you can view it in IE - this has solved any problem I've ever had with a website being incompatible with Firefox without any hassle.

I tried that IE7 thing with multiple tabs, and when I had one of the tabs playing stuff from youtube (bwtched/NSync and other such anthems) it would lag the webpages I was reading.

When I use firefox, I dont get any of that crap, so based on that alone I refuse to use IE anymore.

This is a great plug-in for FireFox and is one of the best features of Opera. Basically, you can restore your previous Internet sessions (I just leave the sites I'm on everyday open in tabs - turn the computer off and then the next day restart and they are all automatically there in tabs).

Once installed go to tools>tabs mix plus options and then session
