Internet Explorer problem

[zaimanc]

I use internet explorer with Windows os SP1 3rd edition, everytime I browse to one particular website, when start to read the message, it appear an error message " Internet Explorer has encounted a problem and need to close", how to solve this problem.

[reddevilggg]

Which Internet Explorer version do you have.  IE6, IE7?

What Operating System do you have. XP, Vista?

Is 'SP1 3rd Edition' actually SP3'

Have you tried another Browser?

[zaimanc]

I used IE6
Operating System = Xp Service Pack 1 (3rd edition)  not SP3
Have not tried on other browser.

Can you try Mozilla Firefox and see if the problem continues?

What is the "one particular website"? Does it have active content, like Flash or Java on it?

[zaimanc]

I tried browse on Firefox and it is ok now.  The particular website is "www.experienceproject.com

Why there is no SP2 installed?
What security programs are you using (firewall, AV)?

  Hey, I get that problem frequently with IE6, that's why I seldom use it. I use SlimBrowser most of the time. Ias anybody heard of it?

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

I've heard of it, I've tried it, I didn't like it so much.

Firefox

Zaimanc, If you don't mind, answer Broni's questions please.

Because it was a quite old PC for home use, a Pentium 4 1.7G processor, I just did not upgrade to SP2. 
A free AVAST antivirus  was also installed.

SP2 is an important operating system update and not just a security fix as most were led to believe...
It should be installed.

As patio said, but before, you go for it, we want to make sure, your computer is clean.

I know this is an old issue but can you tell me if SP3

is an important operating system update and not just a security fix as most were led to believe...
It should be installed.

I had my pc in for a format and they said I had 621 virus on my pc.  I had talked to Microsoft for 2 nights and I told them I had NO anti-virus installed, they said 'no problem, you'll be ok'  and they installed SP3.   now my pc seems slow and won't go to alot of my websites I go to.  I have CA Internet Security Suite v7 installed also.
I spose you can't tell what's wrong just by reading this but I also get error msgs about IE and OE encountering a problem and has to close.  I lose alot of data this way.
I try to save it and I can't find it when it restarts.
I use IE7 and SP3 now.
I also have Firefox.
thanx in advance,
kat

What exactly did they do at the shop ? ?
It may be as simple as some missing drivers.
