    I use still use internet explorer and I was wondering if I have several windows opened and I want to close IE completely but when I open it next time I would like it to open all those windows too.So what I'm trying to ask is if I can set it to remember sessions or something like that.

    ohhh yeahhh..that went well..downloaded and installed that addon for IE that u were talking about.Went well for about,let's say, 1 minute?!Installed and opened IE to see what's the deal about and to my surprise(not) that message with "encountered an error and needs to close" and crashed.And it seems that now the only way it would open is starting it without addons.so uninstalled it,seems that it doesn't really work for me.

    It sounds like you have a problem with IE7 altogether. You may want to reinstall IE7 (you can d/l the executable from microsoft directly.) There may also be other addons that are disruptive, but the only way to know is by getting rid of those by trial and error.

    If you get IE7 working, this IE7Pro software really impressed me. I've been a Firefox user for years, but this, IMHO, makes IE "usable" at least!

    well,that might be the problem.if u say that the add on works just fine for you,than my IE is the problem.gonna try reinstalling it.And I think I'm gonna try another browser too,if this keeps up I think I'm gonna use IE only when I really have to.

    I would hope so! ;-)

    I prefer Firefox. It has a session manager built in, plus you may want to check out some of the preferred add-ons, such as Adblock Plus. Really helps keep crap off your PC!

    Usually. If FF crashes or let's say my laptop loses power and shuts off, it will prompt to load the pages the next time you launch the software. You can also prompt it to save your tabs/windows upon closing.

    Great,that would be a change indeed.When ie crashes,I usually can't recover what I was doing before the crash.Firefox it is,gonna try it.
