Or try using opera
But in all seriousness, I had issues once with IE, it would freeze up every other time I used it, and I'd get that stupid message that says "IE has encountered a problem and must shut down, please contact microsoft about this problem." I also remember it bogging down my system sometimes. I probably could have fixed this somehow with a windows update or something, but I just simply stopped using it and all is well. Of course you may just not have enough RAM to do what you're trying to do.
