I have IE 8 on Vista Ultimate with all the latest patches, and every time I
try to do anything, includig signing in, anywhere on Live.com it crashes
twice and finally says it can't recover.

I have to use another browser like FireFox to access anything on Live.com.

How do I fix IE 8? Thanks.

What happens if you load IE8 in its no add-ons mode and retest?

Try rebooting Windows into its safe mode (with networking) and retest.
Could be something that interrogates the web traffic is causing the
problem and perhaps it won't load in safe mode.

OK, I'll give it a try.

Hi,

Do you have the Live toolbar installed and enabled?

Check with the Addons manager that you have enabled the "Windows Live
Sign-in Helper".

Even if you do not have the toolbar enabled, leave this "helper" addon
enabled.

Regards.

No, I don't. But I'll try your suggestion. Thanks.

Unfortunately, no difference. And resetting the browser didn't either.

AVG 9, and using built in Windows Vista firewall. I've had IE 8 for several
months, so not applicable.

Did you upgrade from AVG Free v8.5 to v9.0?

Is/was AVG Linkscanner, Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, or Security
toolbar installed?

Wouldn't the Live Toolbar *not* get loaded when IE8 was started in its
"no add-ons" mode (as suggested earlier)?

Yep.

1. Uninstall AVG v9.0 & reboot.

2. Immediately download/install AVG v9.0 again, this time opting for a
CUSTOM install and do not install Linkscanner, Search-Shield, Active
Surf-Shield, Security Shield, or any of the email scanners.

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tuto...ning/index.htm

3. Reboot; manually & repeatedly update AVG until you get a "no more
updates" prompt.

4. Does the behavior persist now?
