IE7 freezes when closing a window

[Guest Bruinfanjb]

Anytime a new window opens from a link in IE7 and I close that window, the

entire program freezes and I have to completely shut it down and restart

internet explorer. This is starting to get really annoying. Does anyone

know of a fix for this? Thanks!

Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3)?

 

=> Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start

IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

 

1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;

or

 

2. Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer

(No add-ons).
