Google Hompage keeps crashing

Post Reply New Topic

Today I was fooling around with the options for my personalized Google homepage. I added three in a row: Six Degrees of Wikipedia, Random Wikipedia Article and Featured Wikipedia Article. When I clicked on "Back to homepage", the little "IE Explorer has encountered a problem and must shut down" sign popped up and the window closed.
Now it does that every time I try to get onto Personalized Google (although the regular site works okay).

How can I make it stop, or change my settings to take off the offending widget? (there must be some way without having to go to the homepage; maybe through Gmail?)

I'd appreciate any help as I love my Google Homepage.

I don't know if this will help, but when I changed from using I.E. for my browser, and starting using Firefox, I didn't have such problems anymore. You can try it free, by visiting Firefox.com, or Mozilla.com. Download their browser, and make it your default browser. Maybe that'll do it.

Thanks, but I managed to solve it and I think it was the "featured article" widget.
I stopped the page while it was loading, and that was the only widget left to load; so I x'ed it off.

Phew!

Thanks, hartzofspace!

Amazing!

I didn't think it would ever do anything like that!
