    I'm using Internet Explorer 9 and I can't do anything from the front page. Every time I try it says "Internet Explorer has encountered an error." and has that green bar that fills and refills. Eventually the window with the "Close Program" button pops up. I click that then I have to close that window of my browser.


    I can get to various parts of the site through Google but it's a bit of a hassle, and I like seeing the pictures along with the news.


    This only started yesterday and it's still going on today. I did a virus scan last night and it found nothing.


    It's very consistent and hasn't failed to happen yet.


    But I am entertaining the idea that it's just my computer being a complete piece of crap. But it's strange that it happened just recently.

    I had no problem with IE when browsing with it earlier today.

    I'm sure you might have already thought of this but have you cleared your cache and cookies?

    I have no IE9 issues either, however, please check now. I changed one thing, let's see if that was the culprit.

    Awesome, it works now. Thanks for the quick reply. :D 



    I didn't think to clear the cache and cookies. I don't know how to do that. I know my dad disabled cookies because he's super paranoid about his bank account.

    I could easily Google it though so don't worry about explaining how.

    The front page had a video from MTV on it. Apparently that video had errors that IE9 had problems with. That is the only thing I changed, so I am assuming it was the issue.

    Later!
