When I click on a link for anything, school download an assignment comes to mind, IE crashes. It may just be my computer, but I switched over to Google Chrome temporarily and I can download things from there. Chrome has issues of it's own, however.
Returning to Explorer, as much as I want to, I can't click on anything because while attempting to download, I get the message, "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and must close, we will contact you when a resolution is available." I've been waiting for three years, and different versions of Internet Explorer for an answer.
I hate Chrome, too many commercials and pop-ups which can not be turned off.
