IE constantly stops working...

Hi all!

Can somebody please try and solve a sticky problem for me? Every now and then while on the internet, I get the most annoying incident - a window comes up and tells me that Internet Explorer has stopped working. There is a place where I can click to close the program, and a few seconds later it automatically restores itself, but in the process I have to start searching for what I had been browsing previous to this happening. I scrolled down further in this window and found the following, which I hope can throw some light on the matter:

I do regular updates when they come up, so there is no problem there - at least, not to the best of my knowledge. Even restarting my computer doesn't resolve the matter, so I'm hoping you good people might be able to enlighten me a bit and perhaps advise me on how to stop this annoying occurrence.

Thanks in anticipation!

 

Try this:

Open a command prompt in an admin account and run sfc /scannow

Afterwards reboot and see if the problem persists...
