Greetings all,

I am running IE7 on Vista; ships with it.

It has been working just fine for the last couple of months and now, all
of a sudden I get an error when I run it. The error is as follows:

"Runtime error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."

I thought I would try and reinstall it, but I can't get a download.
When I go to the Microsoft IE7 website, it tells me I already have it
and doesn't give me a link to download it... ! ~arg~

Any recommendations?

Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

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

2. Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).

Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?

I don't believe with Vista you are able to uninstall IE7.

Look in Event Viewer>System for Errors or Application Popup Error. Right
click and select properties which will open an Error Properties Window. You
will see the Event ID # as well as a link to a support page which should
advise a resolution.

Gistcheckin,

I will also try these suggestions. Thank you for the quick response. I
like Vista but it does still have a few problems. :)

Hello PA,

If I right-click on the IE icon and chose "Run as Administrator" it works.
Now, can anyone tell me how to make it run as an Administrator all the time?

Is a Norton or McAfee application installed? Third-party firewall?

Are you saying that starting IE7 in No Add-ons mode and/or RIES didn't help?

I don't think you /want/ to run as Admin 24/7, Bob. Sounds like a UAC
problem to me. I suggest posting in Vista.General about the problem(s),
citing your thread here.

Good luck.
