Looks like IE7 doesn't like your PC. It does this for a few others around here, the easiest may around the problem that I've found is to go to Add/Remove Programs, tick the checkbox for Show Updates, and remove Internet Explorer 7. After a reboot, you'll be back to IE 6.
You could also try installing another browser.
but there's nothing i can do to keep IE7? i like the features but just the freezing part is annoying

Well, if IE7 keeps freezing on your PC you aren't really getting the benefit of the features, are you?
Check out FF2.0, it has a better track record than IE, tabs, and is much for customisable.
yeah true but i just want to know why it always gives me errors now when i close the browser. IE 6 never did that...there has to be someway to fix it

Maybe not, but unfortunately that has little (if any) bearing on how IE7 might behave.there has to be someway to fix it Not necessarilly, but this might yield us some helpful clues:
Open the Event Viewer utility in your Administrative Tools control panel and look through your System and Application logs for entries flagged with "Error" or "Warning", especially those whose time-stamps coincide with the occurence of the problem(s). Double-clicking on such an entry will open a properties window with more detailed information on the error; post the details from a representative sample of some of the different error messages (please don't post duplicates of a given entry, or flood us with the entire contents of the logs).
To post the details:
In the Properties window of a given entry, click on the button with the graphic of two pieces of paper on it; the button is at the right of the window just below the up arrow/down arrow buttons. You won't see anything happen when you click the button, but it will copy all of the details to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste the details into your next post here.
