I tried running ie7 without protected mode, but IE7 still crashes regularly. I haven’t even install any add-ons yet, so it’s not the add-on.

The system isn’t particularly stable. The task scheduler regularly blows up, and so does explorer. I can’t even go the power manager without the machine blowing up.

I have been trying to get W2008 working with my Acer for a few days, and it looks like it’s just not compatible with my system. I’ll go back to vista since it works 🙂

Acer 3680 has HDA sound, but I could live with the ac97. The IE7 crash problem is more problematic. Basically, IE7 will work for a while and then suddenly crash when I surf to a web site. I have tried to update my windows, but I am told that I already have the latest.

I tried playing around with the DEP setting and also turning off enhance IE7 security, but nothing stopped the crash. I did tried installing windows 2008 in a virtualbox virtual machine and it works fine, so there is some sort of compatibility issue with the hardware.

This is surprising since Acer 3680 worked fine under Vista Ultimate.
