My son, Bruce, has just tried to become a Techzonez member but he gave up after 6 tries to enter one of those random character codes that ascertain you are for real, failed. He has asked me to post his question...so here it is. I'll forward any answers or send him a link. Thanks. wumply.

"I'm using Vista Home Premium. IE 7.0 came along with this version, so I've been using it as my browser.

The problem I am experiencing is that when I close IE (clicking on the red X), I get a message: "IE 7.0 has stopped working." Then any IE windows I have open are closed and I am back at my home page.

Is there something I can do to overcome this behavior?"
