Hi all,

Recently started getting this problem with my iGoogle homepage in IE7.

My customised homepage loads incorrectly; instead of the google search box
coming up as normal, the icons to represent all the other Google services
come up in it's place. See screenshot:

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/stephe...86653291196706

So, I hit F5 to refresh, and IE7 says that the page can't be loaded at all:

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/stephe...86627521392914

And it dumps me out to 'the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'
screen. I then hit F5 *again*, and iGoogle loads perfectly:

http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/stephe...86666176098610

I've cross-posted this on some Google help forums as well, but does this
seem like a browser problem or a code problem??

It's driving me mad - help!

Immediate update: just noticed a very similar thing is happening with a
listing I have on eBay - I hit refresh to get an up-to-date status, and the
result is the same as the second Google screenshot. I then hit F5 again, and
it comes back fine.

Two different sites suggests browser problem to me.

Oh, and to add insult to injury everything works OK in Firefox.

Have you tried everything offered on their help page?

Yes I had, without joy.

I uninstalled IE7 and everything worked OK on IE6. Reinstalled IE7 and the
problem has gone away (at the moment).

OK, thanks for the feedback. Glad you were able to resolve the issue.

Good luck,

Hi Donald,

FYI, found out the problem was that I'm using a program called IE7Pro, which
has some user scripts built in. One of these was causing the problem with
Google.

Cheers,

Steve.

No. It says: Operation aborted. As if you hit Stop (or pressed Esc).

It looks like broken or incompatible add-ons are interfering.

What happens if you use No Add-ons mode?
E.g. Run... (press Win-R and enter:)

iexplore.exe -nohome -extoff

Hint: click on Stop or press Ctrl-t to get out of the NoHome state.


BTW if that is what a Google toolbar looks like and you have it installed
you might also have to *uninstall* it to test without it. Apparently Google
add-ons can ignore the -extoff condition.


Good luck
