Guest jpulte Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Internet Explorer 7 has major problems. Whenever I closed out of a website I would get the following message: Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and has to close. Send error report. I downloaded a new browser, firefox, and made it my default browser. All problems were eliminated and the computer runs faster
Guest poatt Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 RE: Internet Explorer 7 I too do not like IE7. I also stayed with MS and am useing IE6. IE7 works well with Vista. In fact when I had Vista IE was about the only thing that worked right. I bet you have Windows Auto update turned on. If so? Turn it off. Go to Windows update site and select to block IE7 to install. I used Auto update. It downloaded IE7 and modem driver update which made the modem unuseable. So now I check the Windows update site once or twice a month for any new updates. Even thow it tells me to turn on Auto update I choose to select; custom,on the website, and download/install what I know I need and not what Windows thinks I need. I know alot of people satisfied with Firefox. But if auto updates are turned off you could have just uninstalled IE7 and the system would have reverted back to IE6. But,still, you would have had to reinstall any IE6 updates and patches. "jpulte" wrote: > Internet Explorer 7 has major problems.

Guest poatt Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Internet Explorer 7 Sorry... I meant to say hide IE7 downloads at the website. Which I figure that if this is done that even through Auto update is active it will not download IE7. I base this on that I clean completly all IE files every time I log off the net. And when I go back to the update site,later, it still has my preferences intact. "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: > Never heard of IE7 Blocker tool? > http://tinyurl.com/kwkgt > > -- > Gary S.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Internet Explorer 7 Yup, but if you don't immediately go to WU and uncheck the item, tit gets DLed by AU. I prefer to use the tool immediately after install, along with AV, etc. before going online. If I or the owner later decides to install IE7, it's an easy undo. -- Gary S.

Guest Ben Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 RE: Internet Explorer 7 FYI Are you using NAV or SAV? I just got the following from symantec chat line regarding this same issue that we are having on 6 machines. Our error various between both explorer and iexplorer must close. read this from our chat tech session at symantec: Hemantha(Fri Sep 14 00:42:16 EDT 2007)> yes, this is a problem that we have seen recently. There is a DLL file of Norton associated with the Internet Explorer settings, this causes the error and the Internet Explorer crashes and closes. Hemantha(Fri Sep 14 00:47:02 EDT 2007)> Yes, that problem can be resolved by 1 ,By disabling or Unchecking the Norton Product protection under the Miscellanous option 2,Closing all the Internet Explorer windows, 3, search for hidden files and folder for nppw.dll files and remove them, 4 , Run LiveUpdate and 5, Restart the computer the issue would be fixed.
