IE 8 crashes on Facebook website

Hey everyone. I have a problem with my IE crashing anytime i get on Facebook. Most of the time when i move my curser over the tabs on the top, you get a drop down box. But these boxes never go away. When you close out the windows it tells me my IE stopped working. Or sometimes when clicking on something the box will come up saying windows has stopped. The window will not freeze, but is always operational until the box comes up telling you windows has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Facebook seems to be the only problem. I use Vista Ultimate 64.

I run no addons in IE. I have also added Facebook to my trusted sites in tools/internet options/security/trusted sites.

But if i go to facebook after opening an "in private browsing" tab, i don't see any problems like before.

Please, someone help me understand whats going on.

Still have the problem after deleteing All browsing history, temp files, cookies, etc

Data execution prevention seems to close the window down. Would it be safe to disable it for just this site? Or is the DEP error just an after effect of whatever is shutting down the window?

NO deleting the temporary files is making no difference.. this happen mostly during weekends.. don't you guys think its because of the number of user logging in facebook or just the amount of data loaded on there??

It started for me about 4 weeks ago and happens every time i get on there. None of my friends on Facebook have the same problem.

Got it figured out. Hope it stays that way. I was looking at my IE plugins (i didn't think i had any). There were 3. I disabled the one that said IEPlugin Class by Arcsoft, Inc. That seems to have fixed it.

Thanks everyone for their help. I'll be back if it doesn't stay fixed. Jerry.

Click to expand...

Server load shouldn't make a difference, and should crash their boxes before yours.

Try resetting IE.

Click on Tools->Internet Options.

Go to the Advanced Tab.

In the bottom right hand corner hit Reset. A box will appear - Hit reset again. If not you could always try downgrading to IE7, but if this is happening on Firefox as well I'm not sure its browser specific. Do you have any security software running?

The facebook IE plugin fixes this issue.
