Question

This tab has been recovered in IE8

Asked by: dennisdominic

After installing and using Internet Explorer 8 for the past few months, it has randomly crash websites, particularly News website such as New York Times, etc.

The error message is "This tab has been recovered.", and it attempts to open the same webpage again.

I have disabled ALL Add-Ons, and Accelerators.

What can be the problem?

Hi,

It may be trying to recover the last page which was opened when your browser crashed with error, you can clear history and delete all temp files then try again, if it does not solve your problem i will suggest you to re-install IE8

hope this will help you

 

by: dennisdominicPosted on 2009-08-13 at 01:51:12ID: 25086393

I mean.. what kind of webpages made IE8 crash.

It's mostly News Pages with Flash, but I don't seems to be able to find how to disable Flash. Or maybe it's not Flash.

 

by: nishitcruisePosted on 2009-08-13 at 02:03:28ID: 25086432

sometimes some scripts have some errors which can make IE crash, news websites have lots of scripting which may be causing the IE crash.

you can also check if one of your toolbars(MSN toolbar) or any other addons crashing the IE.

Let me know if you need more help.

no external tool bar either.

Under my Managed Add-On, I see a list of "Run Without Permission"...

How can I run IE with everything disabled without clicking on each?

I asked because most of the pages that crash are big corporation website such as news websites (perhaps those have lots of scripts and flash running). Shouldn't they test better?

Hi,

If youve run into a problem with an IE addon, and want to be able to use Internet Explorer as usual, you can disable the addons and run Internet Explorer without any addons.

Heres how you can disable all addons/extensions and run IE 7 or even IE 8 without them:

    * Go to Start > Run
    * Type iexplore -extoff
    * Press Enter

I'm not able to find out which are the actual conflicting Add-On, but I do see 6 versions of Java, Duplicated copies of various Microsoft Add-On.

But when I run with everything turned off, it hardly crashes.

I called Microsoft and openned a ticket.  Their reply was that they are working on a fix so we need to stay put and wait.  Perhaps it will be done in a KB or on a Service Pack release?
