Internet Explorer has stopped working
Whenever I work on Internet Explorer for sometime, I got this error saying Internet Explorer has stopped working and it crashes. I have to restart the browser back again to work properly. First I thought this was related to some website. But that was not the actual scene. It even happen while checking emails. What should I do to make this thing work fine.

Depending on the operating system you have, you need to make changes. I found this KB article that can guide you a number of ways to fix the IE issue. Just click on the link and read the same.
How to reinstall or repair Internet Explorer in Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP
Re: Internet Explorer has stopped working
My problem is a little different and have searched all over the internet for solutions!
I'm running Vista with Internet Explorer 7 (originally, anyway).
I usually use Firefox but must use IE for access to some of my college sites. Certain college sites work on FF, but then even FF started bugging out on me. So i quickly downloaded Opera as a 3rd backup.
Opera has not had any problems connecting to date, but in the meantime: IE will not connect AT ALL, and FF will connect sometimes. (Whether FF will connect or not seems completely random.)
The error message i get with IE (after waiting a very long time for a page to try loading) is:
•Internet connectivity has been lost.
•The website is temporarily unavailable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
•The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
•There might be a typing error in the address.
•If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.
etc etc etc
After MONTHS of not being able to get IE7 operating, I made the mistake of taking someone's advise of uninstalling IE7 and installing IE8-Beta for Vista.
After doing so, i am still facing the very same problem & error message.
I've tried so many different suggestions prior to uninstalling IE7, and now i just don't know what to do.
I'd like to remove IE8 and try re-installing IE7 (*if* i can find the download for Vista 34! Does anyone know if there is a download for IE7 for Vista 34??) -However: how can i uninstall IE8 when it does not appear in the Add/Remove programs list?
I am completely flustered. Final exams are here, and i'm terrified that i will lose connectivity with Opera as well & lose all connectivity while trying to get through this next week!
Has anyone else been experiencing similar problems here -and if so: any solutions?
(Please have mercy on me: i do well with basic computer skills, but am definitely not up to date with much of the computer terminology -nor am i savy enough to follow instructions for making changes to system registry, etc.)
Re: Internet Explorer has stopped working
I did what you said and now I.E. is working properly. However I don't think I want to deal with Firefox any more.
Re: Internet Explorer has stopped working
Thank you so much. I did exactly what you advised and the problem is now resolved.

Vista, if you get a pop-up message each time you log out of the Internet Explorer", that states "Internet Explorer has stopped working",follow these steps: (I've pretty much tried every other solution, but was not successful), but this did work for me....Yipeeeee!

Re: Internet Explorer has stopped working
That is a weird issue I face always with Internet Explorer. I am not able to figure out the reason. Many time I found the browser freezes and fade to white. It crashes and then on reboot it works properly. I am using a tool called JoinMe for screensharing. This just displays my screen to other visitors. Last week I had opened the same in Internet Explorer to see someone's screen. I was using Internet Explorer at that time. The screen did not load at all. The same worked well in Firefox. I think Internet Explorer supports the least functionality on web. There might be proper updates for that.
Re: Internet Explorer has stopped working
You must upgrade to new version in that case. Whenever you face such issue just run Windows update or use the error reporter tool. Internet Explorer also faces issue if you had number of addons installed in the web browser. You will need to disable or eliminate some of them. The browser freezes may be because of some add-ons that are corrupted or freezes in between. Check also that there are no useless toolbar installed in your browser.
