Vista Home Premium 32 bit, IE 8
When browsing I am now getting this pop-up regularly.
A small window with the title of Microsoft Windows
Message: Internet Explorer has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program
Below the text is a "Close the progam" rectangular bar to click on.
Clicking on it does not close IE8 - something is closing for sure but I can't tell what it is. But the opened IE8 with all opened Tabs remains seemingly unchanged.
This is new behaviour and I don't know why.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
PS Maybe caused by a new Microsoft Update?
