Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2007IE7 freezes up in XP
I have been using IE7 with no problems for several months on Vista. But now I am trying to use it on XP, and it is a different experience. Recently, when I start IE7, it locks up after it appears on the screen. Nothing can be typed on it, and no menus can be accessed. It has a blank start page. After I added msn.com as the start page using the desktop IE shortcut Properties, IE7 would freeze halfway through loading the page. Does anybody know I can fix this? Cheers ss. Related? After 5 months of no problems, IE7 on Vista Ultimate now hangs when launched. It appears to connect to any page - as the bottom status bar flys by: "redirecting to site x"; "website found x"; "start downloading x") but doesn't complete the process (bottom middle bar never gets filled green). It hangs with an empty white "page box" and the menus don't work. If I right-click IE7 icon, "Run as Administrator", everything works fine even tho I have admin privelege. From this successful launch, turning off add-ins, "delete browsing history" restore defaults doesn't help. And, other User logins have no problems. I'll keep digging but if anyone has a clue, thanks in advance. > I have been using IE7 with no problems for several months on Vista.

That almosts certainly means that there is a registry problem with your account, of that some Internet Option you have selected is causing this. What you need to do is find out how you can reset all the settings to default. ss. Add-ins turned off, restored defaults everywhere I could find. Will look smore tonite 2000 hrs PDT. > > Related?

I am writing this in Firefox 2.0. I have done everything that is listed on this post. Google would not let my default search tool be changed off of google (this was during the reset). my machine is windows xp. explorer 7.0 with no addons will open without giving me the fatal error message but then as soon as I browse to any site it crashes. Also if I start it in standard mode it immediately locks up. > Add-ins turned off, restored defaults everywhere I could find. Will look > smore tonite 2000 hrs PDT.

I have now removed the google toolbar for internet explorer and run the reset again. I have also rebooted the box again with no change. The i.e. no addons still crashes as soon as I browse to any other site. > >I am writing this in Firefox 2.0. I have done everything that is listed on > > this post.

Don't install any extras you're not sure of. SignatureFrank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail. You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest that you.., 1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) per http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html 2. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window Blinds). 3. Reinstall IE7 per http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install, and using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.
