I am retired and spend a lot of time doing competitions.i now find when I go to a competition page I always get a note " internet explorer has stopped working" I changed to explorer10 but it still does it.
most of the time it happens on the LOQUAX site but other times on msn mail ,google and other sites.
glad of any advice
regards
david

I don't know about that site in particular but, assuming you have a pc, one option would be to try using another browser e.g. Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop (would be my choice) or Chrome https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/browser/ or any other that you may want to have a look at.

If you've never done this before it is important to note that you can install as many different browsers as you want on your machine because they are separate programs so you don't need to uninstall what you already have just to try another one.

p.s. a new version of Firefox will be available later today so you might want to delay trying that until this evening - it won't make any difference for what you want but if you try it before that time then it will want to update when the new version becomes available so you'd end up downloading it twice in one day.

I am Not sure that IE 10 is suitable for all editions of Windows. Tell us what Windows you have installed and perhaps bibblebub or another ABer will add to my comment.

Anyway, I am all in favour of you doing as bibblebub has suggested... Try another Browser.... I don't think you'll regret having something better than IE......My favourite is Firefox.

That is not a stupid question. Firefox and Chrome both ask if you wish to import favourites and settings from another browser when you install them; and there is an import option.
