Internet Explorer has stopped working....

[incitingriots]

Hello, I am having a little problem here and just trying to see if anyone can help.

Anytime I try to enter into this chatroom on a discussion forum I frequent I get that stupid message box that says "Internet Explorer has stopped working" it shows a litle progress bar under it and says "Windows is checking for a solution" but all it ever comes up with is another box that says "A propgram has caused this program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I had no problem entering the chat room on my other computer a Dell Inspiron E1705 but that one is now dead and I am currently using a Dell XPSm1730 running Vista Home Premium. I tried deleting my browsing history and re-downloading/installing Java but it doesn't seem to do any good.

Just as an aside: I know the problem is with my computer and not the chat program. So if anyone could help that would be great.

Hello Incitingriots, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might see if resetting Internet Explorer may be able to help.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you for your quick reply, I tried resetting IE, but it I am still having the same problem.

You might also check with that forum to see if it is a known issue, and if they may have a solution or workaround for it.

Yeah I tried that but it wasn't much help. I had no problem with my other computer so it has to be something with one. I'm just not tech-savy enough to figure out what it is. I tried re-downloading/installing flash player and now the chat window just closes after the loading sequence.
