Guest sheana Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I downloaded all the updates to my WIN XP computer, but with the addition of IE 7, none of my 3rd party programs worked, i.e. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, SnagIt, etc. They wouldn't even open up. As soon as I uninstalled IE7 and some other updates that automatically accompanied it, I could then successfully use my programs. Can you please tell me what's going on? Thanks in advance.

Alternately, use this 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. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
