Hi all, first post here.
yesterday I had to brutally uninstall a driver of a digital camera and its
software because its uninstall programs hung in Vista.
Don't know wheter it's related or not to it but here's my problem: when
opening IE7 the homepage and the start-up tabs open regularly BUT, when I
try to open a page in a new tab with the right click , or do the same to
open page in new window, both the tab or the page hangs trying to connect
but it's clear that it won't open the page , it stays like hybernated ,
while I can close the tab/page with no problem.
Tried to follow the tips that some people suggested in previous posts
(disable dell/flash add-ons) , tried a reset too but no results...anybody
here can explain what's going on from a day to another? Did IE7 have a cold?
Thanks for any help!

Having the same problem. Some additional info:

Hang happens for open in new tab as well as open in new window - also
happens for any link that has a target specified that causes the link
to open in a new window.

clicking stop - then clicking in the address bar and hitting enter
will cause the page to load - for all scenarios mentioned above.

Phishing filter is broken - always says microsoft online service is
down. (Not the case cause it works fine on my xp box)

Ctrl-F or Edit/Find causes IE to lose focus instead of bringing up the
find dialog.

Right clicking on the IE shortcut from desktop and Running it as an
administrator fixes all the above mentioned problems. - never had to
do this before nor would it make sense that I had to. My user ID is in
Administrators group.

That's about all the repair that's left to IE7 users in Vista.
By doing that presumably you effectively cleared all your userdata,
deleted all your add-ons, and re-registered all the IE related .dlls
(or so we were told when MS were asked about how IE7 replaced
the IE6sp2 /rereg facility.)

Do you have any other software installed which might be interfering
with those operations? E.g. another browser which might be partially
taking over then?

What I would do is Run... ProcMon to try to see what is happening
when you try to open those other tabs. That diagnostic would be most
useful when you had an otherwise identical trace from another system
which was working normally.

To get more help I think you should post in Vista specific newsgroups too.
Cross-posting for convenience.

Good luck

Did you try turning off the Phishing Filter ? From what you said, this
would make sense since the one of first things IE would do when opening a
new tab is to try and establish a connection with the Phishing service to
determine if the web page is on the list. It seems as if this might be
hanging and when you stop and reload this aborts the phishing check and just
loads the page.

There is a neat tool called Fiddler that allows you to monitor what the
browser is doing at every step and this can help you determine where it is
hanging up and what is is doing at the time and if it is the Phishing filter
it will let you see what URL it is trying to access.

http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/version.asp

I always suspect viruses or malware but usually this is not the case but I
can see some hacker trying to redirect your phishing filter to a spoofed
address to in effect disable this feature.

Let us know if you make any progress.
