Guest Tom Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I have downloaded Internet Explorer 7,but when I open it, I get a screen asking me for required settings, for me to choose either to keep my current default search provider, or to let me select from a list of other search providers. When I pick the first option, and click "save your settings", it immediately comes up with"settings were not able to be saved successfully". I tried reloading IE 7, but get the same thing. This means I do not have a home page. I can use IE 7 normally after this, but it's driving me nuts, so any ideas?
Guest Unknown Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Re: Internet Explorer 7 Why don't you merely go to control panel---internet options and put in a home page?

In addition to selecting a search provider, you also need to indicate whether or not you want to turn on the automatic phishing filter. There may also be settings for Clear Type. So make sure you go through all the options (not just the first one) before you click "Save your Settings."

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: Internet Explorer 7 [X-post to IE General] You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest that you... 1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) EXACTLY per http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html [Only use the Command %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot uninstall via Add/Remove Programs!] 2a. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window Blinds). 2b. Disable all Norton Add-ons, if applicable. 3. Reinstall IE7 EXACTLY per http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then STOP! NB: Use http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. Or Direct Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. 4. IMMEDIATELY go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any critical updates offered. If a "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: Internet Explorer 7 Probably some "protection" software getting in the way. You *could* try a Clean Boot and then try changing the settings. 1. Run MSCONFIG 2. Choose Selective Startup. 3. Uncheck Load Startup Items. 4. Click on Services tab, check the box at bottom left to "Hide Microsoft Services", then click Disable All. 5. Disconnect your system from the internet, physically by pulling the LAN plug, for instance, or disable the internet adapter involved. 6. Click OK in MSCONFIG and restart. How does IE 7 behave now? Can you change the settings? Do NOT connect to the internet to test anything else unless you first re-enable your Antivirus. Then again, PA's probably right. -- Gary S.

Guest Joe Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 RE: Internet Explorer 7 I am having the same problem. It began after I did a "Reset Internet Explorer Settings" in the Tools menu today. It seemed to work but after I reset my homepage it always restarts back to the runonce page. I suspect no settings are being saved as tabbed browsing changes I made aren't saved either. The reason for the reset was that I have experienced significant hangs when going from one site to another recently. And when that happens I noticed LSASS.EXE spiking.

Guest Joe Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 RE: Internet Explorer 7 While checking other forums I found this which worked for my home page. QUOTE - Run Registry Editor (type regedit in Run dialog box and press return key) Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main Now create two DWORD value titled RunOnceComplete and RunOnceHasShown and set their value to 1 - UNQUOTE Like I said, that fixed opening to runonce and showed my real homepage. However, the check box for tabbed browsing still comes up instead of my home page when I CTL-T. Does anyone know the dword and value for "Don't show this page again " on Tabs?
