What factors would make Internet Explorer keep closing unexpecttedly? It will only stay open about 30 seconds. This occurs in any version of IE. Last night I uninstalled Foxfire and then uninstalled IE 8 hoping to get it back to a point it would function normally. No luck. I ultimately went back to IE 6. Then installed IE 7.

This all started 2 days ago when I tried to upgrade to IE 8 and also try Foxfire. Foxfire would work OK. But I ike IE better. All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Robt

Well if the event log offers no clues it wont be easy to find out whats going on, have you tried looking under each of the setting's on the left to see if they tell us anything ?
You may need to scroll down a bit depending on how long since the last issue you have a look, but do check out each of the events sections to see if something else is causing this.

Can you think of when this started to happen ? had you done\added\removed anything just before this happened ?
I see you went through the various ie browsers to try and find a stable one, but as a thought have you tried using system restore to a point before things started going wrong ?
