We are 2 friends with separate comps. One has IE 6, the other has IE 7. Both have crashed repeatedly since October. Problem seems to be related to add-ons. Reportedly, problem is widespread.
The official suggestion from microsoft is to "disable all 3rd party browser extensions." Problem is, this takes down all add-ons & plug-ins and there are some we like and want to continue using.
The only thing I can think of is to leave 3rd party browser extensions enabled and then to disable all individual add-ons except one, by hand. Then see if that one is causing the problem. If not, re-enable one more and see. And so on. Eventually this should identify the add-on or add-ons that cause the problem.
This procedure is very tedious. Does anyone have any other suggestions. All would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

As I recall there was a new Yahoo Toolbar patch released to make it compatible with IE 7. Is it possible that one doesn't have it and the other has it and it is causing problems with the older version?
I would start with Yahoo and go through the process you outlined. It really is the only way - unless you want to pour over reports at GeekSquad.com or something to determine the problem application that way.
Peace!

You can upgrade your system memory. For computer technicians, its easy. All you have to do is buy another memory module from a computer hardware store such as Best Buy, Staples, www.hp.com, etc. I recommend 1GB or more.
By the way, I also recommend you get Mozilla Firefox, much faster and requires less memory and hard drive space. IE7 sucks.

If I were you, I would have installed Mozilla Firefox, and get rid of the IE problems
