Well Mohammed, I haven't much to offer really but you could start with cleaning the IE temporary files and cookies folders, run the usual spyware and malware scans and see if that helps. If not you can next check if any of the installed add-ons for IE is causing the crash. You say IE crashes more often when you are on the Yahoo site? Could it be a Yahoo add-on? Lastly, you can try disabling the run of third party browser extensions in internet options>advanced>browsing>enable third party extensions. I would have to say that IE crashes now and then on my system too and I have always found it difficult to pin down the exact culprit and just live with those crashes unless they become really frequent. Only my experience.

I’m using V8. The error message I get in IE is that first it says, “This tab has been recovered.” And then a error dialog pops up saying “IE has encountered a problem and has to shut down.” I mainly use yahoo mail and it happens a lot in that whenever I open messages.
