Today my IE crashed due to it... this is the first time in about a month that it's happened. After I had taken it into a computer person and they had fixed it... :grumble::grumble::grumble:
It frustrates me beyond belief that the only real way that I've been able to fix the problem myself, is by uninstalling it and reinstalling it... over and over again...
Anyone else having trouble/issues with it?
If so, how have you solved it/fixed it?

You could try using a different web browser. Firefox (http://http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/)is quite popular, mainly because it's fairly similar to IE so most people find it very easy to use. Opera (http://www.opera.com/) is popular amongst the geeky because of relatively quick loading times and extra features, but sometimes some webpages don't display well (because they're configured for IE). I use both these browsers and absolutely never use IE.

Well I had Firefox, twice and had issues with it (mainly it spotted something that IE didn't see). I never had Opera though. I've heard about it though, have you ever had any issues with it?

On a Windows computer the only problem I've had with Opera is that some pages don't display properly. It doesn't happen very often, but when I does I'm forced to use IE. This problem seems to be more common for Asian sites, and it sometimes makes drop-down menus a little temperamental (but still workable). This isn't really Opera's fault, it's the fault of the webpage designer, but as a user I guess you don't really care whose fault it is- you just want it to work.
I can only suggest you give it a go, and see if you like it. If you don't like it you can easily uninstall it.

I just tried Opera out... and it was a no-go. The dang thing wouldn't let me install it on my usual account. Not to mention I couldn't even go onto the internet.
I ended up uninstalling it.

Really? I don't know what's going on there. Sorry I couldn't help.

Yep, no problem. Too bad that it didn't work out, I was rather interested in seeing how the Opera browser worked.

I hope this (http://www.senocular.com/?id=2.28)helps you regarding solutions behind it. Although it looks from a developer point.
Anyway! Flash Player 10 Beta is out - The world of 3D.

Ah, thanks. :)
I see, but I won't be upgrading my Flash Player anytime soon.
