Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2007Problems since downloading "new" IE7
I downloaded IE7 beta and everything was working fine. I received the automatic update to the "new" IE7 a few days ago, and now I'm having several problems - quite often when I click on the IE icon to connect to the internet, the window opens but the screen just freezes and I have to use ctrl-alt-delete to close it out. Also, several of my other programs that used to work no longer work at all. For instance, my MusicMatch jukebox doesn't work anymore - I click on it, and...nothing. Rebooting takes forever! I have to manually close down my antispyware, firewall, and some other running processes have to be ended manually before the reboot takes place. Is anyone else having these kinds of issues? I'm thinking I want my old IE6 back. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer. > I downloaded IE7 beta and everything was working fine.

Thanks for any suggestions you can >offer. I'm having the exact same problems. Nothing but trouble since updating IE7 via being told to do so by Windows Updater. Ugh! Nothing behaves quite right after this update. Like trying to launch IE from a link in Outlook. I'm re-downloading IE7 to see if this helps.

Shut all this stuff down, uninstall your IE7. Get the setup file and reinstall IE7. And then be careful what security programs you add to the mix. Frankly, most "security" programs don't add much to security. > Is anyone else having these kinds of issues? No, I'm not and most people don't have. There are known problems with certain security software, just read the group. Kai  SignatureHelpsites about Windows: http://www.mvps.org IE repair script: http://iefaq.info Jeff, I've had nothing but problems too - luckily it's our backup computer - the kids computer. I have to get to everything thru a backdoor. I don't even have a taskbar or anything. I spent 4 hours last week on the phone with microsoft and they can't figure it out. I've tried everyway to uninstall IE7 to no avail. I wish I'd never installed it. I'm ready to throw out the computer but I have pictures on here that I can no longer access that I need. Sorry no suggestion - only commiseration. > Jeff schrieb am Wed, 1 Nov 2006 10:05:02 -0800: > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Kai Lynniep schrieb am Wed, 1 Nov 2006 11:23:02 -0800: > I'm ready to throw out the > computer but I have pictures on here that I can no longer access that I need. If nothing works, simply install a second XP on the box and backup your pictures from there. Kai SignatureHelpsites about Windows: http://www.mvps.org IE repair script: http://iefaq.info I've decided to buy a Mac for Christmas. Dealing with Windows and it's potential virus problems. This latest bout with IE 7 was the straw that broke this camel's back. > Jeff, > I've had nothing but problems too - luckily it's our backup computer - the [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > > > Kai It happened to me too after the update. Blank screen on IE7, programs want run, contunious hourglass, & NO HELP! > Jeff schrieb am Wed, 1 Nov 2006 10:05:02 -0800: > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Kai I'm having exactly the same problem. Your response was helpful, but where would the setup file be? I (like probably everyone) don't have the option of redownloading IE7 since I can't access my browser. Thanks. > Jeff schrieb am Wed, 1 Nov 2006 10:05:02 -0800: > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Kai Stu Fisher schrieb am Wed, 1 Nov 2006 12:34:03 -0800: > I'm having exactly the same problem.

Then please explain your problem with details in a new thread. Maybe you did already and nobody could help. I don't know, I haven't seen it. Kai SignatureHelpsites about Windows: http://www.mvps.org IE repair script: http://iefaq.info OK Guys, It's been one week from crash date. System restore got partial function back.

Repair your XP system from the setup disk and be careful what programs you put on it in the future. Kai SignatureHelpsites about Windows: http://www.mvps.org IE repair script: http://iefaq.info Thank you Kai I will give this a try. > Hds schrieb am Wed, 8 Nov 2006 08:04:03 -0800: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Kai Isn't it scary and totally rediculious that now we have to basicially "repair" our OS all because of an upgrade that MICROSOFT told us to do? It's sad that Microsoft couldn't get the bugs out first before releasing this. Thanks Microsoft! But I think we all have come to expect this of them. From now on the lesson is don't upgrade your IE. Use Firefox! > Hds schrieb am Wed, 8 Nov 2006 08:04:03 -0800: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Kai Zman schrieb am Mon, 27 Nov 2006 07:48:01 -0800: > Isn't it scary and totally rediculious that now we have to basicially > "repair" our OS all because of an upgrade that MICROSOFT told us to do? No, "we" don't. Kai SignatureHelpsites about Windows: http://www.mvps.org IE repair script: http://iefaq.info > No, "we" don't. OOOOOOHHHHh yes you do!!!!!!! OOOOHH it's a critical update - do it or your world will fall apart!!! In fact, IE 7 is a High Priority update. If you don't want IE 7, don't install it. Nobody here cares whether you do or don't. However, you should definitely not stay with IE 6 unless you have to (e.g., an internally developed app is not compatible with IE 7.) If you don't want IE 7, get Firefox or Opera. Even fully patched, IE 6 is not as secure as current generation browsers. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est >> No, "we" don't. > > OOOOOOHHHHh yes you do!!!!!!! > OOOOHH it's a critical update - do it or your world will fall apart!!! I can't offer help but yes many many people are having this same problem. Come on microsoft!! fix it up instead of blaming everything else. > Jeff schrieb am Wed, 1 Nov 2006 10:05:02 -0800: > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Kai If someone's not following the directions there isn't a lot Microsoft can do about it. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > I can't offer help but yes many many people are having this same problem. > Come on microsoft!! fix it up instead of blaming everything else.
