Memory Issues in IE7

 

As you can see from the two screen captures above, I’ve got some weirdness going on in IE7 every now and then. Aside from someone telling me to switch over to Firefox again, does anyone have a solution identified when this sort of thing occurs on a fairly regular basis?

Yahoo Crashing Internet Explorer

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the Yahoo! Mail website crashing Internet Explorer? I’m running IE7. A couple of times I’ve gotten notice from IE7 that the Adobe Shockwave add-on was running during the crash.
I’ve updated Shockwave and Flash, but I’m still crashing.

A huge Thanks to Joe Cheng who shared a solution for a problem I was having with Windows Live Writer.
I followed his advice; downloaded and reinstalled IE7. After quite a lengthy uninstall and reinstall process, although it pretty much ran itself completely, everything is back up and running and all fresh and ready to explore.

25+ Hours Comes Down to a Few Different Clicks
