asked on Taskbar
My OS is windows 7 prof 64 bit and I have a Dell Vostro 220. On the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, I have a couple of programs pinned to it, for convenience as these are the programs that I always switch to and back. My IE9 was crashing so often, my pc tech neighbor had a look at my screen, and commented that this could be one of the reasons, as those programs pinned to the taskbar are actually running.
Can someone please confirm whether this is true. When I was on the phone with MS support and I asked the same question, he said NO, because they are just pinned.
My question is what programs are active and running, and how would I know what is running without opening the task bar. Or must I open the task bar to do this. Because I also have McAfee. Thank u

My question is what programs are active and running, and how would I knowyou can right click taskbar and click Task Manager to see programs are running.
may be iE9 has some components installed that cause the errors.
Goto Control panel, Internet options [security] then set all to default, goto internet optionss [programs] Manage add-ons and disable possible add-ons that you don't know.
Ok, then, try to restart computer, then test iE
If NOT fix,
Try to use another web browser like Mozilla Browser for instance.
Lets see if the error comes out.
I doubt it came from add-ons.
@systan - I do not wish to flog a dead horse here, but it IS true that a program pinned to the taskbar CAN be running. Hover over it and see for yourself. I knew this and then tried it before I posted the solution above. .... Thinkpads_User
