Internet Explorer 6.0

[Sargera]

At random times (not very often) I'm browsing the Web on IE 6.0, and then it just freezes, and I have to close it.  When I try to open it again, it doesn't open, but it shows a process of it in the task manager, but it's not listed as a running application.  Then what seems to follow is that explorer.exe crashes, forcing me to have to reboot.  Anyone know the solution to this problem?  Do you need more information?  Does this happen to anyone else?  Etc.

I think it's just a bug with IE. That happens to me from time to time when IE freezes, but when explorer.exe crashes it usually recovers itself.

Why am I not surprised?

To check whether the problem is IE's fault:

If the problem persists, it is IE's fault.

To not care:

What shitty Windows-ME OS are you using that causes you to reboot if explorer.exe crashes?  Explorer tends to run fairly well in its own process space.  Just load up Task Manager, and Run... a new instance of c:\windows\system32\explorer.exe or (if you ARE using Windows Me) c:\windows\explorer.exe.

Windows Server 2003.  Basically the start menu and task bar becomes unresponsive, and then all of the icons/text fade out with solid white.  I tried waiting about 10 minutes for it to recover, then ended the explorer process, then I had to reboot.

I still say using Internet Explorer is "foolish", and I stand by it.

Microsoft agrees with iago.
