Recently, one of IETips.net users have reported that her IE8 is crashing on startup and the issue persists even after reverting to IE7. She was much annoyed with the behavior of IE.

The solution that was recommended by me helped in resolving the same. Here is what I’ve recommended:

1. Uninstall IE8 from Add/Remove programs (This will take out the other updates related to IE8 too)

2. Uninstall any third party tool bars.

3. Download IE8 from MS website and install it.

However, to isolate the root cause, first I recommend to run IE in No Add-on Mode. This will help you to identify if the issue is with IE or any of the add-on that you have installed. Once you were able to start IE without any issues in No Add-on mode, it means an add-on which you have installed/enabled is causing the issue. You should perform a trail and error check to identify the add-on which is causing the issue and take out that add-on.

Also, this issue causes due to some free AntiVirus programs that are installed. Disable it, if one is installed on your PC.
