I use IE7 on my TabletPC (Toshiba, Tecra M4).
IE7 crashes every day, usually multiple times.
The crashing only occurs when I am closing IE7.
It almost always occurs when I have more than one tab open or when a link took me to a new IE window sometime during my browsing.

Here is the error dialog:

IE7 Error Dialog

Anyone else encounter this and if so is there a way to prevent it?

Edit: I have all the latest patches.

IE7 crashing everytime when  I close - also closed all open IE windows Sad

"Tools>Internet Options>Advanced Tab->Reset..." fixed this issue.
 
thanks to bobbydb1

My name has 9 letters. Coincidence? I think not...
Have you tried disabling add-ons. It looks like an add-on is freeing memory that belongs to IE when it shouldn't, or something similar to that.

I get that a lot too. I think it's from the Flash player because it happens when I close IE after visting Flash sites.

Right now, I have FindAsYouType, Send to OneNote from IE, Flash Player, Adobe PDF, Fiddler, a bunch of Sun stuff from Java, DriveLetterAccess from Sonic, Connection Tester from IE7, Windows Messenger, and Windows Live Sign-in helper.

I get that error whenever I close an IE window that I've watched a Quicktime video in.

Thanks for the reminder. Smiley

I also have Windows Media Player, QuickTime, and their respective browser plug-ins.

I actually don't know for sure that it's Flash's fault because I tend to use the same instance of Iexplore.exe for hours due to the tabs. I guess that should be taken as a compliment for the IE team.Big Smile

IE7 RTM'd yay!
Red5: I know it's a lot to ask, but if you can get me a callstack of the crash, I can probably tell you if it's IE or if it's an extension. If it's an extension, you should be able to disable it in Manage Add-ons to get rid of the crash until you can get an updated version.

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx has the windows debugging tools. WinDBG has a nice GUI. You can attach to the running iexplore, when it crashes, enter k to dump the stack. The module name will tell us who is responsible.

OK, I'm having the same problem as Red5 and I'm having trouble repro-ing my version of the crash.

Would you suggest running IE as an attached process from now on until I can catch it crashing?

If it doesn't crash, the call stack's irrelevant.  That's just the call stack at the moment that you hit F5--  it could have been anywhere.

When it finally crashes the call stack most likely will be pointing to the wrong place:  if dll 1 corrupts memory and leaves, but other Dll 2 trips on it. That Dll 2will be on the call stack, but that's not what you want to find. To get Dll 1, the one that corrupts memory, you need to run IE7 with full PageHeap ON and monitor IE7 on all access violations.

1. How to turn PageHeap on:
gflags /i iexplore.exe +hpa

2. How to monitor IE7:

- attach WinDbg and let IE7 run

or

- use Application Verifier (need to install it)

or

- use free utility K2xMon (xcopy) from www.download.com:

http://www.download.com/K2xMon/3000-2218_4-10625072.html?tag=pub

After you get crash dump, open it with WinDbg and run !analyze -v.

Flash 9 is the latest however there have been some minor releases after Flash 9 came out. Try updating and see if the crashes stop.

I have a similar problem. IE crashes whenever I close it, or when I close just a tab.

Do you guys get the same result when closing a single tab, too?

I don't get it when I close a single tab.  Just when I close Internet Explorer, and only if Quicktime has run in that Internet Explorer instance.

 

It doesn't matter whether you're closing a single tab or the whole program. It happens when the add-on dll is being unloaded.

One. How many time travellers does it take to change a lightbulb?
hi, I have also found one bug with IE7 - see this. It does not show page icons correctly. Is this known bug?
Please tell me if this bug got filled (microsofties Wink ) so I don't have to worry Big Smile

(btw, what is the proper site to report bugs (that is optionally not on /ignore))

Easy on the threadjack. One issue to a thread here.

I'll mention that bug to jeffdav next time I see him. It's not really my area so I don't know the status of any/all the fav icon bugs.

As for bug reporting, last I heard it was on Connect. We do fix bugs filed from Connect. I'm not in charge of running connect, picking the bugs that get fixed or updating it. I don't know why it might look like the reports go into a blackhole, but people do actually read them.
Does anybody happen to have MSN toolbar installed. I had this problem as well and when I finally disabled MSN toolbar this problem vanished and Internet Explorer shuts down and opens easily. That is also with the case with tabs as they are running normaly as expected. The biggest issue I found was the MSN toolbar. And even though I still have the Yahoo and Google toolbars installed it still runs normally. Give it a try and lemme know if this helps as my problem was from the MSN toolbar. Smiley
I had the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled IE7 a few times. I tried several other solutions that I found on the internet and finally found one that worked for me.

The problem is a conflict with one of your add-ons. To fix it you reset IE to the defaults that it was installed with. You accomplish this by going to "Tools>Internet Options>Advanced Tab. You will see a reset button down at the bottom. Click this.

Don't worry, you will not have to reinstall you add-ons. They are just disabled. Your favorites will also be saved. All your cookies and your browser history will be gone (thats probably not a bad thing). Any passwords that you might have enabled IE to remember for you will be gone. You can put those back in as you need them, just like you put them in to start with.

IE is installed with many add-ons that have been tested are should work well with IE7. They will still be enabled. The ones that you have added yourself will be disabled. That includes the ones that you added in IE6 before you installed IE7.

Run the browser long enough to be satisfy yourself that this fixed the problem. You then renable the disabled add-ons one at a time with enough time after each enable to be sure this one was not the problem.

To enable/disable an add-on, go to "Tools>Internet Options>Programs Tab". At the bottom you will see a "Manage Add-ons". Click this. From there you can enable, disable, or delete add-ons.

Yes, mine was crashing when I closed IE or when I closed a tab. The solution that I just posted fixed it for me.
PetKnep - I am having a similar problem but it crashes and closes IE7.  The error report message box points at Flash player and at jscript.dll.  I hope you are still monitoring this thread.  I have latest version IE7 and all updates.  I have gone through all of the troubleshooter's steps.  No Fix.   But I did end up with the most recent build.  Tried IE8 and it only crashes one tab.
