Problem
I downloaded the IE9 Beta today to give it a test drive and maybe write a review for the site, and it failed miserably and got stuck in a crash loop.
Error: Internet Explorer has stopped working
In fact I had to kill it with Task Manager as it kept re-spawning new instances that also crashed.
Solution
1. Launch the new IE9 in “Extensions off” mode, Click Start > Type in “iexplore.exe -extoff” {enter}
2. IE9 will launch in “Extensions Off” mode > Click “Manage add-ons”.
3. Select all the Add-ons (Select one and Press CTRL+A) > Then Select “Disable All”.
4. Now launch IE9 and it should launch correctly.
5. If you want you can slowly enable all the add-ons one by one, to find out which one was causing the problem.
Note: You may also see Event ID 1000 each time it crashes.

Footnote
Some forums are suggesting that enabling “Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering” will also solve this problem.
Once I got it working, here’s what I thought of it, Internet Explorer 9 Review.
