Help! I keep getting 'Microsoft IE has encountered a problem and needs to close. You will lose all information... send error report' It doesn't seem to matter at what time I'm doing this. It then shuts down the program and restarts my IP program. Checked with Microsoft-no updates needed & no answers on their
troubleshoot page.Please Help!!
