IE7 closes on its own.

[Electron]

Hi,

I have been running this computer for 2-3 years with Windows XP Media Centre and IE7

The past few days when i select a new tab in IE it has taken ages to switch or shows 'page not responding'

Now IE7 just closes on its own with no warning. Once i did get a warning to say 'Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and has to close' I clicked on more information and it showed Flash Player as being the problem.

I deleted Flash Player from Control Panel / Add Remove Programs and downloaded the lastet version 10.

But still had the problem, when i checked it showed version 10a.

Needing some stability while i worked i disabled flash player and IE didn't close anymore. (Unless i wanted it to).

I have now deleted v10a and downloaded version 10. All was well until i 'enabled' Flash player. Now i get the constant closing of IE7 with no warning.

Any help please.
