I've used Chrome for a while and always been happy with it but lately it's crashing regularly. Does anyone have a favourite browser that they're using now without this issue?
I've looked at Firefox but I'm not willing to pay for it with so many at no charge, thanks all.

Since when did you have to pay for Firefox Colin? It should be free, so I don't know where you've been looking.

I actually use one of their cousins, PaleMoon, which has all the facilities of Firefox and I'm really happy with it. Love the Colourful Tabs and the ability to 'Pin' the important ones.

I'm having the same issues with IE 11......wish I'd never installed it but.....cannot successfully re-install IE 10?

I trialled Windows 10 for a week before I rolled back to 7 and these issue are all post the installation of IE11 and W10?

For a windows installation, try firefox or one of its cousins, or again, try Opera. Those are the two I use.

Andy,
Does this help
http://www.wikihow.com/Uninstall-Internet-Explorer-11-for-Windows-7
If your still blocked you may need to do this in safe mode, pressing F8 at startup should give you this option.
If not,
Go to start and type MSCONFIG into the search box and press enter.
At the Systems Config window select "diagnostic startup"
Remember to reset to normal startup afterwards.

Thanks Grahame,
I'll give it a go, my IPOD is also un-usable since this installation and not only won't 'sync' but it's been wiped and I cannot get anything on it using Windows.

Done all the usual unloading and reloading, even reformatted the disc on my IPOD which btw, still works on a Mac???

never, ever use internet explorer. Go for something better.
Chrome / Firefox / Opera / Safari for Mac / ...
I thought internet explorer's days were over, but it seems a more resilient kind of weed amongst the flowers.
