Lila, Welcome! Was Windows 7 and IE8 already installed on your laptop when you purchased it? Does your laptop freeze only when using IE8 or with other programs as well?

Try Mozilla Firefox. Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable | Mozilla Europe - It's an alternative web browser and it is better than IE.
You can disable Internet Explorer 8, but not uninstall it. To disable it, open up Programs & Features in Control Panel and click Turn Windows Features on or off. Select IE8 from the list and click OK.
It is also possible to view websites in Compatibility Mode in IE8. Just click View within IE8 and select Compatibility View (it will put a tick next to it).

I don't think it's possible to install IE 7 in Windows 7 ..
I guess you could try Flock Browser if you use Social networking
You could get it @ Flock Browser - The Social Web Browser
Hope that helps

One of the first things I would recommend is to make sure you have the latest Microsoft updates. Update all your programs especially drivers.
Updating can be confusing for some of old folks, so let Windows do most of the work for you. You can also try the Driver Detective - Driver Update website.
The next thought, do you have other tool bars and EI 'add-ons' installed? Sometimes they can cause your system to hang.
Also, make sure you are running a good virus scanner. If you already have one - go ahead and run a full scan. Closely related to viruses are things like malware and Trojans. You may want to look into installing and running something like Ad-Aware by Lavasoft.
Please write back and let us know how it's going!

I have run a virus scan with Avast. I have Spyware Blaster, Spybot, Malware Bytes and Super Anti Spyware...they are all recommended by CFS and take up very little space in your machine. So as far as a virus or malware is concerned I have nothing like that.
Just one more quick question about this new browser...is there alot of update with it? tyvm

Although I have and use Opera and Firefox, I don't understand the need to install another program if IE doesn't work correctly.
The issue or problem is not corrected - it's only bypassed. IE8 works correctly 100% of the time for me and many other Windows 7 users - it should for this user.
My first thought is "what would be causing this?"

My reason is that IE8 is cumbersome and slow, and I am not a Microsoft hater by any means. I love their products, but IE8 needs an overhaul. I'm not going to waste time trying to make it work, when other browsers are simply better. If I encounter a site that requires IE8, I launch it, but otherwise, Firefox.
