    Vista Home Premium SP1 - IE 7.0 - IE continually errors out after a max of 3 minutes. If I simply open Google and sit there, it's OK, but as soon as I try to surf, I have a max of 3 minutes before I get the error. Firefox works fine. I went to the Event Viewer > Applications Log and sure enough, there's an IE error. I attached the screen shot below. Under the System Log section, there's an error that occurred about 4 minutes or so before the IE error and it mentions the Kerebros thingy. I don't know if these 2 errors are related but I figured I'd mention 'em both..... any help will be appreciated!

    You can try upgrading to IE8 and see if that fixes your problem.

    I installed IE8 just to see if that would 'fix' the problem, and it didn't... same issue: after a max of 3 minutes, IE errors out. I'll take a look at the add-ons and disable 'em today and see what happens. Thanks!

    :-D Disabling most of the add-ons worked! I disabled everything except for Java and Flash Player ('cuz they are the most commonly used, esp. Flash Player) and IE is now fine. Thanks for the suggestion, I probably would not have thought about the add-ons until I had pulled out several large handfuls of hair. LOL Thanks again!
