Now that you have revealed that you are not having the common IE Script errors, you can ignore my prior reply.
What I usually find in such a plea is that a PEST or PARASITE has found a home on the machine. The usual five scans noted at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=1313&start=0 is what I do next.
But before that, I would check the EVENT VIEWER for what its reporting and then run to http://www.eventid.net if you can't share the EventID and such here.

PS. CWSHREDDER is at a new web site and if you decide to keep a pest, be sure to inform the forum.
I, also, have been getting a C++ Run Time Error pop-up window that states the application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Clicking on either the okay button or the x on this pop-up terminates IE, and I have to relaunch. After reading moderator Proffitt's suggestion,
"How to disable script and runtime errors
You can configure Internet Explorer to ignore these script and runtime errors. Please follow this step-by-step guide:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click on Tools, then on Internet Options.
3. Click on the Advanced tab.
4. Look for the "Disable script debugging" line and put a check mark in the box.
5. Now look for the "Display a notification about every script error" line and remove the check mark in the box."
I found that the disable script debugging box was already checked, and the display notification box was already unchecked. Is there anything else I can do?
