You could just take the easy way out and switch to Firefox and probably be
up and running smoothly again in a matter of minutes........

Vista Home Premium
 
 

Re: Vista Internet Explorer has stopped working....

Internet Explorer has stopped working and needs to close and restart..... Or Close Program.... Please click ok! What a pain! Well, I found a fix for it and it's very simple...perhaps it will work for you. I'm running Vista Home Premium on my HP Notebood. What I did was this:
1)Open Control Panel
2)Click on Internet Options
3)Click on Advanced Tab
4)click on the RESET button at the bottom
Internet Explorer is fixed, just that simple.

You loose your plugin toolbars but you don't loose any bookmarks...It tells you what it will do and another popup will tell you again when you go to click ok.

Now.... Anyone have a fix for me? I'm running yahoo messenger but in the chat room I have no sound. I have sound for anything and everything else...except yahoo chat room. Can't figure this one out....if anyone has a fix for that...please send it along to me. Thanx

Vista Home Premium
 
 

Re: Vista Internet Explorer Horror and confusion

Alex, at the time I posted my comment I think I was running Messenger 8...then I came across a Vista sound fix and that took care of the problem.
Since that time, I've had to format my laptop...when I went to reinstall Yahoo Messenger...I discovered that the Yahoo 9 Beta program had since addressed the "no sound" problem for the chat part of the program. So, all is well.

Just a quick plug too... I also use YTunnelPro as a Companion to Yahoo Messenger. If you (or anyone reading this post) use Yahoo Messenger Chat a lot, it is totally worth the very nominal one time fee. I've been using it for nearly 8yrs now and I highly recommend it....but I use Yahoo Messenger exclusively too. Honestly, It's a waste of money for the casual user but if you use the Chat part of the program a lot, like I do, it's well worth it. It has many configurable security safeguards that the regular YM program just falls short on or simply doesn't have.
