Unhappy I have a problem with my internet explorer......

My internet explorer is messed up, see, what happens is that when theres anything running that takes up a moderate amount of ram (e.g. Kazaa, MSN, and so on) my internet explorer will just freeze and it'll say, error has occured and blah blah blah, everyone knows that message, but anyways, Happydude666 recommended that I get the Windows Update, but now the problem is that you get the updates fromt he internet, using internet explorer, and right when i'm about to Download them the f**kin message shows up again, i've degfragmented my hardrive, i've used scan disk, i've deleted all the programs i don't need, and i've checked for viruses, I'M CONFUSED!!!!!
Can anyone help me??????

i've noticed on mine.


When im running Grokster (aka Kazaa, or Morpheus) and i try to type in explorer, it will lock up.

so does it happen when you have kazaa completely off? ie. off the system tray too.

some crap in thoes stupid programs i think it uses parts from windows and it messes windows up. i had it fixed once but it came back.


so now i just dont use grokster or kazaa much. and if i need to i do it when i wont need to use explorer.

But that may not be the same prob you have.

Surely a cynical chap like you would know the answer to that one. But I won't repeat it here lest I offend someone. I'll just say that it involves a sheep metaphor.

*bigger cough* Opera, Galeon/Mozilla *bigger cough*

Opera has the best UI, speed and general funkiness (like the built-in google-and-every-other-search-engine-ever search, and the online dictionary/encyclopedia for highlighted text) , but Moz has much better pop-up killing abilties and is free. And IMO they both rip netscape a new one.

IE doesn't even warrant comparison. Begone. Last time I used IE was... um... about 6 months ago? I dunno, I lose track. Never looked back, and the more and more I use Opera and Mozilla (which, is has to be said, is nowhere near as good in windows as it is in Linux, esp under the guise of galeon), the more the prospect of HAVING to use IE horrifies me.
