Guest Cindy Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 When I open a new tab in IE 7 is says connecting and freezes up. The feature is "enabled". So I can only run one tab. I do have windows live desktop installed and I dont know if this program is causes conflict.
Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Re: New tab will not open in IE7 X-post to IE General 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 Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No add-ons).

Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using! 3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 *exactly* per the link below (which automatically returns you to IE6), (b) all toolbars and © all third-party Windows Themes (including Window Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist? If it does, do NOT reinstall IE7.

Required reading IMHO before reinstalling IE7: Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then STOP http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install I strongly recommend using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. 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. 5. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after reinstalling IE7 to 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. => Those with IE7-specific questions or comments are asked to post to and seek support in this newsgroup: microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general On the web: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general In your newsreader: http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Cindy wrote: > When I open a new tab in IE 7 is says connecting and freezes up.
