You could upgrade to IE 8, but I would not recommend doing that at this
point, since it still has some glitches that need to be worked out before it is
really ready for prime time. I would also not recommend installing an earlier
version of IE from one of the third-party IE collections that are widely
available. If you have trouble with IE now, just try installing one of the
earlier versions of IE from one of these free software suites. You'll be ready
to chuck your computer out the window. Like you, I was experiencing frequent
crashes with IE 7, so I decided to download one of those free IE collections.
It completely screwed up my IE favorites and RSS feeds, so I had to uninstall
it and perform a system restore to getIE 7 working normally again. So before
you give up on IE 7, try doing a system restore. If you want to try IE 8, be
sure you download it directly from the MS web site and not some third-party
site.

Subject: Downloading & installing Internet Explorer
Hi list: I am running XP and jaws 7. Several days ago I I inadvertently
downloaded the Spy Protect 2009 virus. What a nightmare. A friend used Smit
Fraud Fix to remove it and with little problem. However, since then Internet
Explorer (Version: 7.0.5730.11) has been crashing frequently. I was wondering
if I should attempt to replace it or perhaps run a System Restore. If I decide
to replace it what is the best version to download, from where should I
download it, and what problems should I expect. Also what preperation should I
make before the download and installation. Any advice would be appreciated.
