Have you tried uninstalling the beta? I would like to try it out, but with my low memory I don't want to get into a hassle of uninstalling it.

Austin are you sure it isn't user error that is causing crashes for you? I strictly use IE7 (Firefox is my pr0n browser [lol]) and it hardly ever crashes. Or perhaps you have a hardware issue.

Thank you for posting the link. After weeding through your grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization issues my brain hurt too much to figure out what you were talking about.

Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.

if i may ask... what is IE 8?
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

It actually says google toolbar is not capable with this versoin of IE. Then it shuts down. I unistalled the google toolbar manually, but it still does it for some odd reason. This version is working fne for me. It still gave me the error message the first time, but theres an option to not use the toolbar.

Oh well, I'm sticking with Opera anyway.
