  Hi Mayi and others.
  
  (1) when i click on IE to open it, keep having a message that says IE enoucounters problem/error, have to be closed.
  
  So cannot open IE.
  
  Need to try 4, 5 times. Then can open.
  
  (2) Sometimes in IE surfing, same message appears and IE closes by itself.
  
  Question:-
  How to rectify this problem?
  
  Don't tell me to:-
  a) reformat
  b) change to FF
  
  Thanks mayi and others.

  The usual question - any toolbars installed?
  
  If so, uninstall all toolbars.
  
  Then report back if it works.
  
  If you want the toolbar again, then Google for it again.

  An update.
  
  noopi, are you using Norton or McAfee?

  Try Opera lor. Its faster than IE and FF in my opinion. Quite sleek looking as well.

  I also have this problem, probably after I update my comp with the newest security. But I only have Symantec installed. Why is that so?

  Very laggy. On Vista, it's OK. But the toolbars fly everywhere in IE7. Headache to find them.
