Internet Explorer 7 not launching

[Guest Vernon D.]

Sorry for posting here, I didn't see an IE7 group, only IE6. Anyway my

problem is recently my IE7 has not been launching when I double click on it,

and I'm not sure what is causing the problem. This started a few days ago,

and I think it may have started when I installed a game. When I tried to

register to play this game, it tried to open IE7, at which point the browser

would open, but it would not connect to anything, and the program would stop

responding. Now this problem is only with IE, I also have Mozilla Firefox,

and it is working just fine, so it's not a connection problem, I'm just not

sure what it is, it's weird. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Ohhh the advantages of having Norton Ghost or Acronis true image,

or ....

and have a clean, up to date, everything working Backup to restore

from,

specially when an install goes wrong, you can test to your hearts

content and

totally mess things up, with confidence you can recover the lot in

maybe 10 - 15 minutes.

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode?

 

To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

 

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

Re: Internet Explorer 7 not launching

 

Thank you PA Bear, I didn't even know about this feature, but it was exactly

what I needed to solve the problem. Some add-on was indeed causing the

problem, so I disabled a few. Also thanks to all the others who responded to

my post. :-)

Re: Internet Explorer 7 not launching

 

'Well, I disabled the Microsoft One Note add on, all the Yahoo toolbar add

ons, and the Windows Live and Messenger add ons. So it's possible I simply

had to many programs running with IE. I had recently installed Windows

messenger and Yahoo messenger as well as an online game I downloaded. I

disabled them all since I can access them another way, don't need them

running in the toolbar. I did also delete that game, but I continured to have

the problem, so I think it's Microsoft One Note which came either with the

Office 07 trial I downloaded, or the Word '07 that I bought by itself, or one

of the messenger programs.

Re: Internet Explorer 7 not launching

 

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx

 

If you reset IE settings (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737), you'll

permanently disable all Add-ons. By opening IE7 in normal mode now and

manually re-enabling each Add-on, one-by-one, you should be able to

determine which of them is/was causing the problem, Vernon.

 

It may be best to close all IE7 windows, uninstall all toolbars (e.g., Yahoo

Companion; Windows Live Toolbar), then reboot. If the problems no longer

persist, trying reinstalling Yahoo Companion (if you want) using a fresh

download. (I'd steer clear of Windows Live Toolbar in IE7 if I were you.)
