Why is it that Windows came out with Vista but Vista and IE7 have compatibility issues?
My IE7 began crashing every minute or two so I went to the Windows website to figure out the problem. Seems like they should know how to fix their own software. I followed the instructions and completely reset IE7 to remove all addons, etc. That seemed to help a little, but it was still "intermittently" crashing. The Windows website actually states that it may be a compatibility issue between Vista and IE7. Well, what browser am I supposed to use then? Stupid.
Anyway, I figured out that it was crashing every time a website had a popup open in a new window. For example, many websites have a store locator that pops a new window. I went into the Internet Options in IE7 and changed the Popups rule to "let IE7 decide". This decreased the number of crashes, but it was still crashing when I would close it, especially with multiple tabs open. I finally completely uninstalled Adobe Flash Player using the Adobe uninstaller, making sure nothing else was running. After a fresh install of flash player, the problem seems to be fixed.
Is there some reason the people who wrote the friggin software can't figure out how to fix it? These fixes should've been listed on Microsoft's website.
