Quick question on IE7

[MicroHard]

I have been getting a message on my screen saying "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" on my Vista.

If i change my web browser to either firefox, safari or something else, will that solve my problem?

I know i don't have any virus or malware on my computer.

i do encounter the same problem as what you are facing sometimes it will prompt me like what you have, it could be the IE7 is still not stable yet, last time when I use IE6 i dont have such problem

well i would recommend firefox for sure... whether the problem was there or not.
but as for solving the problem im really not sure sorry

I now have firefox as my web browser. Should i uninstall IE7 or just leave it?
I deleted IE7 icon from my desktop and renamed firefox as "Internet"

Edit: Firefox is friggin fast lol

IE 7.0 has always sucked.
Download IE 8.0 if you're IE fan ( I am ). IE 8.0 is out because IE 7.0 was a big failure, full of bugs.

I can see you're now using Firefox, but if you'd like to return to IE, download the newest version.

Also, you can't uninstall IE 7.0 it's part of the Windows.

And you will find that you will need IE for somethings! I.E. - Some pages are not supported in FF.
