I have had problems with IE5. It will "unexpectedly quit" This normally happens when I am doing a search using IE. The message will be either a type 1 or two error. I have tried throwing out my preffs and that did not work. Then I tried to De-install the whole thing... start over. i can't seem to find all of the parts. I have done it twice and it still remembers some of my settings.
My questions are.....
Where are all of these parts?
Could the problem be with my system?
Or is it just IE?
Is there someplace that I can read up on 9.04 and how things work?
I have a decent understanding but I still want to learn more.
What are the steps I need to take to finds the answer to the problem?
Why is Microsoft stuff so spread out. Why do they not make it self contained?
I know that there are a lot of questions here and they are spread out but this is driving me mad.
I can't tell if it is me that screwed something up or what...
If you can help me feel free to email me.
Please.

There is no particular time that IE will have this problem... it appears to be random.
Do or do not.... there is NO try.

I have had the same problem. If you used any version of IE before; it is a conflict between the old and new versions.

If you have sherlock installed us it to search. The easy way is just to search for just each part. Search just one word at a time. (internet) then (explorer) and anything else you can think of.

You just drag any files from the lower half of sherlock to the trash. You should keep your favorites.

If they are in the Extensions Folder, delete the ActiveX extensions. I've had no end of trouble with these causing IE 5 to not launch.

My IE5 had gotten very sluggish, so did a clean install as per wlonh's lead. Now IE is fast, again.

BUT: is it every one else's experience that, when you have several pages open, and click the one in front off, it takes a LONG time to close? If not, what's the fix?

And, has anyone discovered a way to configure prefs so that getting into your bank account is possible, every time? I get error messages so often that I keep NC around JUST for getting into bank. Sometimes trashing cache.waf helps, and sometimes quitting/restarting, but it's apain, and so I just usually use NC.

Icab won't get me in, either, and I don't like to use icab, in general, for this reason alone: no dialogue going on down there at the bottom, to let you know when a site has finished loading. You just have to try scrolling till it works. Also, whether "stack" is left checked or unchecked, new pages open almost exactly centered on top of each other.
