Gmail keeps crashing Internet Explorer

Does anyone know a reliable fix for this? Whenever I load Gmail, my IE crashes.

Looks like this started happening after Chrome (Google's browser) was released. I can not install any other browser in my computer due to IT policies.

What version of IE? I use IE6 at work, and there's no problem between it and Gmail.

IE6 with sp2. But until last week, I had no problems whatsoever. I know Gmail has been revised because, once it loads, you have an "older version" option in the upper right corner of the screen.

What's happening to you might be related to this MS KB article, which I found from information from here.

Or maybe not.

Get a USB drive. Load the U3 edition of Firefox on the USB drive and go. It doesn't install on your computer and it works. I think you can get a 1G sandisk drive for under $10.

Where do we get this U3 edition of FireFox? Is it avialable on the internet?

Yes it is available on the internet. Try looking for it here. http://portableapps.com/

but I've just uninstalled Firefox 3 (portableApps) and reinstalled Firefox 2 (I'm also a gmail user - but that's probably unrelated). FF3 was way too slow, there must have been a process hanging because the delays and page-loading were unbearable. I even bought a new USB stick thinking that perhaps the old one was dieing.
I've not had time to properly diagnose it but now that I'm back with Firefox 2 (also from portableApps) and I'm happy

I haven't had the problems with FF3 that you speak of but I did run into a small snag with Gmail. I had uploaded the "Better Gmail" addon some time back and then went to Better Gmail 2. However, it seems both were enabled and I could only get into Gmail if I selected the HTML option when loading. After I disabled BGM ver 1.x everything runs fine with no speed issues.

I had installed Google Chrome and it was running great. Very fast, nimble and GMail was totally stable...until yesterday when a MS Tools update got installed and, since the, Chrome keeps crashing....

Seems to me that MS and Google are really at war over the browser products. The problem is: the users end up being "casualties" and collateral damage....
