Recently when i log on to IE it shuts off before i can run it. if i log on
as a different user, it works fine. My login is the only one that has
administrator privelages, and if i go to the control panel to create a new
account it automatically shuts off as well. any ideas?

i am currently running IE7 and MS XP home

Hi Brian,

More than likely this is being caused by an incompatible addon that you
installed while using the administrator account or which you installed prior
to upgrading to IE7.

Try running IE7 in no Addons mode. Start>Programs>Accessories>System
Tools>Internet Explorer(no Addons)
or
Tools>Internet Options - Advanced tab, uncheck "Enable third-party browser
extensions"

If an incompatible addon appears to be the cause you will have to find which
one is causing the problem. Tools>Manage Addons, and selectively disable
each of your installed Addons (Toolbars and Browser Helpers)

In the first instance check with the publishers for any IE7 updates
otherwise uninstall them (Add/Remove Programs applet)

Regards.

Hi Rob & Brian,
I am having a similar problem with IE7 and I have tried running in the
addons mode which works long enough to give me the error message, in regular
mode I can't even get the error message. I also have msn on that computer and
it will not start up either. Any other suggestions?

Control Panel | Internet Options | Advanced
Scroll to the bottom and click Reset Internet Explorer Settings

Frank and Brian and Rob,
I just solved my problem! My son went into add and remove programs (I never
use that methode) and clicked on IE it gave a click here for support
information when highlighted and low and behold I actually got on through IE.
I then downloaded IE7 again reinstalled it (which at that point it
automatically uninstalled IE and reinstalled) and it worked, also the MSN now
works and I didn't have to do anything to it! The other alternative I was
working on was downloading IE to a jumpdrive on another computer, I was then
going to uninstall IE7 and reinstall from this but probably would have lost
all my favorites. Hope this helps! Good luck LJ
