Hello and thank you for using Just Answer. My name is XXXXX XXXXX X will be happy to assist you.

I am sorry to hear you are having trouble. The truth of the matter is that actually many things could cause this type of behavior. It could be there are too many programs running at once, it could be a virus, could be a corrupt internet explorer setting and the list goes on.

I can provide you with a work around as well as a potential fix for your issue but will need some further information first.

Can you tell me when this problem started?

Are you experiencing any other issues with the computer besides this? Is it behaving strange in any way?

Does this only happen on one website or does it happen on all websites?

Please let me know so I can best assist you.

Thank You
-Chris

Ok thank you for that information. I am going to give you a couple of things to try.

The first thing is to use an alternate web browser called firefox. The reason I am asking you to do this is to make sure that it is not a deeper computer issue but is only an internet explorer issue.

Click the link and download and install this browser and try using it for a few minutes and see if it crashes like internet explorer does:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

Now if it does work in firefox but you would like to fix your internet explorer browser here is how you can try that.

In your internet explorer browser
Click on Tools > Internet Options.

Click on the Advanced tab and Reset

Make sure delete personal settings IS NOT checked

Click Reset, then Reset again.

Click OK

If you the problem remains after following my instructions do not hesitate to click reply to expert and let me know.

Please remember when you are asked to rate my service you are rating me personally and the service and information I have provided for you. You are not rating this website, internet explorer, or the situation itself.

A negative rating effects me greatly so if you feel the need to rate one of the first 2 faces please click reply to expert and let me know what I can do to further help. A positive rating is the only way I receive credit for my time spent with you.

Thank You
-Chris
