Hi. Can anyone tell me why Internet explorer has problems and shuts down many times when displaying java or shockwave. I have windows vista and Internet Explorer 7. Is there a solution to this problem????

Uninstall both (java and shockwave)
and run IE, now when u reach the sites that asks for java or shockwave download it via your browser (activex), not like a normal download.
If that doesn't work i suggest repair, or use another browser. (FF or Opera)
as far as i can remember vista cannot remove IE or even repair it

 

[windowsvista]

run mozilla firefox and see if there is the same problem.

Windows vista explain more next time,

Go to http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/firefox/ download your language version. Install then go to http://www.shockwave.com You may have to install it, Quick and easy. If no shockwave is working Then we have an bigger issue on our hands

Sounds like you need FireFox.... Internet Explorer has problems visiting a site that I host, I don't know why, when Opera, FF, and Safari jump right to it with no difficulty....

Hmm INTELCRAZY, it seems to me that I have to dissapoint you.
I tried to get on XP-lovers now with my IE; I can't ok, you said that IE 7 can't.
Since I have Opera-the newest opera, and Mozila FF ( old XD) I tried with both! And I couldn't open the site. Maybe wrong link?

IE is bloated and poorly written and the hardest browser to develop for because it is so bloated.

Active X is a high security risk, you are better off, and safer installing and running either firefox or opera.

Or SIlverlight. Internet Explorer is the best web browser ever.
Still has more popularity and votes than any other browser.
Search the net and find out.
Silverlight, it's a variant of IE made if you have many bugs with IE 7.

most popular doesn't mean the best. Most people, that are considered average users, do not even know there are alternatives. They just use windows default web browser. IE is the least secure browser out there, and Active X is a steaming pile of excrement when it comes to both security and performance. Active X is allowed access to windows kernel hooks, which is why it is so powerful when being exploited. Do you really want plug ins (or as MS calls it, active x controls) access to your OS's kernel hooks?

That is why IE is so easily exploited. You go to some website and it says, hey you need this active x component installed to fully view the site. The unsuspected user thinks oh, okay I will just click install. Then you have malware that has access to the OS's kernel hooks.

IE is crap, don't use it ever.
