Symptoms of IE7 problems

My IE7 started shutting down last summer, and after finding no effective
solutions through this board and MS FAQs, I switched to Chrome, which works
fine. Problem is that I still need IE because Hotmail responds poorly to a
connection through Chrome: Inbox opens and I can see the subject liness of
new mail, but I cannot open them because the entire page is non-interactive.

That happens when I set Chrome as my default browser; when I aleve browser
options open and go to Hotmail through IE - as I have done for ages - then
the message pages are all interactive. However, IE7 still shuts down after a
short while.

I am too inexperienced to tinker with Hotkays, but I'd be grateful if
someone could point me towards a diagnosis from these symptoms. Maybge I'll
be able to narrow things down from there.

Forgot to sway that I have WinXP Home automatically updated, and lots of free
space on the PC. Word 2003.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.

If you 'found no effective solutions through this board' then why are
you posting here? I don't understand.

Don't get sore. My last post was long ago; there could be new developments in
solving IE problems, new thread readers with ideas. Okay, so now I give up.
