IE problems

[Big Shed]

Hi,

I am new to this forum, plenty of good info! However I seem to have a problem, I get an IE error message quite regularly, then offers to send an error report. I am running IE6.1.
Makes it rather hard to read some of the threads when you get unceremoniously kicked off.
Any suggestions as to what the problem could be ?

Any suggestions as to what the problem could be ?Firefox users had a similar issue a week or so ago. Try deleting cookies and history, close IE, then try again.

I'd suggest moving to IE7 - it's out of beta now, and is available from MS's site.

I use ie6 with no problems, so it sounds as though you may some settings wrong, I have no idea as to what settings though.

Well, will try those suggestions, thanks guys. Must say that I do a fait bit of internet browsing etc, and have never experienced this problem before.

Have deleted all cookies etc, so see how I go.

Will get a copy of IE7, although I always shudder to install any new MS software!

Thanks again

Not possible.

Well deleting all the cookies etc made no difference.

Doesn't happen anywhere else I go, but get kicked off after a few minutes here every time.

Maybe I should take the hint!

[Doughboy]

buddy of mine says go get ie7

It is not better but it is diferent

This question was done at length some time ago so do a search.
I think it has some thing to do with your settings in the CP at the top left of your page.

Make sure you click on the remember me box when you log in and don't log out.

Ok ubeaut, I'll try that. Not sure that it is IE (have just been told elsewhere in the forum that I shouldn't blame my tools, although with IE that is very hard!).
I thought that perhaps it was the popup stopper I'm using, so used the Google one, with the same disappointing result.
I'll also do a search to see what else has been tried.
Thanks for all the input.
I am really enjoying the forum, living in the country you tend to get a bit isolated. I believe there is a Triton Users Group here in Bendigo, I might look them up.
I live in Lockwood South, just out of Bendigo, on 25 acres and am retired.
We built our own 26 square house (using the Triton amongst other thing to house all the wall studs with a 35mm router bit, as well as the complete kitchen and kitchen doors).

IE = Internet Explorer WRONG

IE = I Explode

Just thought this might clear up some confusion.

Ok, got the same error again. Logged back in (ticked the Remember me), guess what? You guessed it, after a few minutes BINGO, off I go again. Can't try the not logging off bit, I'm not on long enough!!!

Looked in the CP options, but can't really see anything that looks relevant to me.

Must try that IE7, have to look for it, can't download it. The flipside of the idyllic country existence with plenty of land (neighbours can't hear you) and big sheds (wife can't find me) is that I can only get dial-up, Telstra doesn't want to know about a poor deprived slob like me!

I see you cleared the cookies, did you clear the history too?

[Big Shed]

Yep, everything cookies, files, history.......

My bet is still on the pop up area, as I get a stopped pop up message immediately after, even though I have the messages switched off.
It may not be IE at all, it could be some sort of pop up pretending to be an IE error message. Funny thing is, I spend literally hours every day on the iternet, share trading, Ebay, reading the papers, you name it. The only place this happens is when I log on to this forum.
When I am at daughters' place in town, I will try this on her machine with broadband and see how I go.

Well the plot thickens. After my last post got the same error message again and got kicked off, IE shuts down, but only the session open with this forum, Ebay etc also open, stays open.
The error window has an option to send an error report to MS, as if, when is the last time MS took any notice of any error reports.
I am starting to think this is something malicious.
I went to log on to the forum in my office on the desktop, doing this on my notebook in the lounge via my network, and guess what that session is still going.
As Alice said, curiouser and curiouser........

Well......I have done that and.......I am still here!

Maybe you have something there, if you are Groggy, I want to know what on and I want some!

Keep the old fingers crossed.

[Big Shed]

Got excited a bit too early there Groggy.

Just got kicked off again.

Guess I will have to find that copy of IE7 or try one of the other internet browsers.
