I have Internet Explorer with VISTA and sometimes it works and sometimes
(mostly)it doesn't. I have the nothing going on except what I am using and
it will work and you leave it and go right back and it has stopped working.
Any Ideas. I have had to resort to another browser to use the internet but
some programs I have only uses IE and they are worthless.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming IE7.

Right-click on the IE desktop icon and select the Start without add-ons
option. If this solves your problem, enable add-ons one at a time, testing
as you go, until you find the culprit.

"Stopped working" doesn't tell us very much.

Why is "Stopped working" not enough? Do you need to know the weather, if the
dog was fed, what? That is the most idiotic response ever.

"Stopped working" can mean many things. We can't see your monitor, so
you need to explain exactly what that means. And you should be more
courteous to your fellow users who are volunteering their time to the
community.

Walk into a car shop and ONLY tell them "my car doesn't work". Are you
really going to pay they to inspect your car piece by piece and fix
everything that they find that they consider broken or not 100% in
working order? How many possible solutions do you expect a respondent
to include in their reply for a vague question? If all then they might
as well as just use a link to Microsoft's support knowledgebase and tell
the user to go fish around in all those possible solutions.

So just what was your focused and highly detailed solution to DKON's
post? After using your magic, crystal ball, seance, and special
divination powers, what did YOU deduce was the exact problem that DKON
was experiencing? Yeah, right, thought so.

When Internet Explorer says "Internet Explorer Has Stopped Working" it
doesn't give a reason. So why does a MVP need one? That was a rude and
stupid reply.

Stop working could mean:

- The OP tries to load IE but never see a window appear for it although
a new instance of iexplore.exe showed in the Processes tab of Task
Manager.

- The OP see iexplore.exe quickly appear and then disappear in the
Processes tab meaning it has crashed but hasn't bothered to check the
Event Viewer.

- The window appears but sometime later (quickly, seconds, hours,
whatever) it disappears.

- IE loads and appears but some specific action committed by the user
inside of IE makes it hang, crash, or enact some otherwise unexpected
behavior.

And the list goes on. The OP can always describe the OS environment and
what behavior they experienced to describe the problem to provide some
context under when the problem occurred.

And we are still waiting for YOU to come up with an exact description of
the environment and behavior that qualifies as "don't work" and what
your detailed and focused solution might be.

Keep waiting. Instead of "Stopped working doesn't tell us very much" why
not ask a few questions? That is, after all what the technician at the car
shop would do, provided he wasn't rude. I don't know what the solution is
but if I did have the knowledge to help I would certainly be polite, not
arrogant, rude, and stupid.

Well, until you come up with those questions (some of which I already
posed), this subthread is going nowhere to help the OP.

I am helping. I'm sticking up for people who think they have to put up with
smartass answers.

Info not exactly correct for my Vista SP1 but pointed me to the add-on
feature after starting IE7 and going to Tools Manage Add-ons. Knew it had
something to do with Java but did not want to uninstall Java. But as soon as
I disabled the Java add-ons (2) latest versions, website started up without
closing IE7 as soon as the website was selected. Now need to find out what
Java does for some other site(s).
