Thanks for all the help. I've gone ahead and uploaded the new IE 7.0. The pictures delete now without getting an error messages and is much much more fast. But I'm still getting the same "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message. I don't have any viruses or spyware. I'm not sure why it is doing this. I'd love to use IE until this problem is resolved with auctiva or resolved through firefox, but now IE keeps closing on me just about every 2 minutes and I don't know why. I guess I should run a seperate discussion on this topic in the proper area, but does anyone know why IE keeps doing this to me? thanks.
