Skype 4.0 add-ons cause IE8 crashes
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 15:47This morning, when I was checking my hotmail with the default Internet Explorer 8.0 that came with windows seven RC, since I was tried to use Firefox, but I realised that Firefox need to login everytime when I check my mail from the Windows Live Messenger, that’s why I turn back to IE8. While I was checking my mail, I found that everytime I open up Internet Explorer, it responding slower than usual, even can get the” Not Responding” message on the top of the application.

There are several possible reasons can cause this problems, it may cause by viruses, some incompatible applications, or maybe the add-ons on the Internet Explorer. So the first step I went to the options ”Manage Add-ons” and try to disable some of the possible add-ons that caused my IE crashed.
“Tools - Manage Add-ons ”
Finally, I found that the problem was caused by Skype’s IE add-ons.

After disabled the add-ons everything goes smooth as usual.

That is the latest version of Skype that I just downloaded and installed yesterday, hope that this problem will get fixed on the next release of the Skype.
