The latest. I check for browser updates daily so as to keep things as up to date as possible. I’ve always had more crashes with IE, going back many, many years, it has just that it has gotten noticeably worse of late and the odds of a recovery from a lockup or crash have gone way down. I am very careful about malware, I use multiple applications to scan for malware that might have gotten through as well as keeping things shielded with MS Security Essentials. I keep Windows, that would be Windows 7 64-bit, current and keep all of the major applications updated either via Microsoft’s update page, Ninite, or a given application’s own updater. I do tend to run multiple instances of whichever web browser I am currently using. I tend to multitask and my system has plenty of resources. I generally only use IE for things that don’t work well on Firefox, like browsing Audible, but that still addss up to a lot. I’ve found that both Firefox and IE have t heir own long list of pages and functions that work better on one browser than on the other, so I just use the one that best fits whatever I am trying to do.
I am limited in some respects on potential solutions. I am using a family member’s computer, so things like clearing out all cookies are just not doable. It isn’t my system to make changes like that on, particularly since the owner of the computer solely use Internet Explorer and thus has a bunch of auto login info and other such content in IE.

Brendon Donohue. From: Chris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 18 June 2014 3:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Lots of crashes lately I have had a lot more crashes lately. Often, on the rare occasions I get Window Eyes talking again instead of having to restart the computer, I have one of several windows open that I did not intentionally open. the first is titled West Beach 16. The second is titled Kill Wineyes and has a bunch of information that makes no sense to me in it. this one must be connected to the fact that I still often use the Kill Window Eyes app with the shortcut combination of control + alt + F4. This one will work more often than my kill wineyes batch file, so I tend to still use it. The third one is a window letting me know that Internet Explorer has stopped responding and asking me if I want to close the application. Which I always do since Window Eyes will not speak properly until the instance of Internet Explorer in question is closed. I think that most of the crashes are connected to Internet Explorer. They can happen when I am using Accessible RSS Reader, Firefox, Windows Live Mail, or about any other application, but even in these cases, there is generally at least one instance of Internet Explorer up and running in the background. The regularity of these lockups and crashes is getting more and more annoying. I can’t seem to find anything specific wrong, so I have no idea what might be a workable solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, chris If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
