I have a Dell computer with Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer and I can't be on the internet for more than 5 minutes or so and get a error message that says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" when I click ok it shuts down any pages that are open. I can't figure out why it keeps doing this.

Chances are that you are still connected to the Internet. It's just that the Internet Explorer browser just crapped out on you. This can be due to many factors. You can try to uncheck the option "Enable Third party Browser extensions" in the advanced tab of internet options.

youve probably downloaded something that put a trojan or virus on your computer or deleted a file. i did this a couple times in the last two weeks. all you have to do is do a distructive Pc recovery and it will pretty much fix the problem...hopefull you have that or the system disks

Run both a full anti-virus and anti-spyware scan, Then get Firefox and use IE only for Windows updates.

Try downloading Mozilla Firefox (which is available at www.mozilla.org) and see if the problem is more widespread. If it is, then there's something wrong with the installation of Windows itself. If it's just IE, then you should re-install windows.
