Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2007Cursor freezes each time I install IE7
Trend Micro scans keep telling me that I am at risk unless I install IE7. Problem is that I have installed 3 different times and each time, the cursor freezes and any screen movement consists of frozen jerky movements which slow down the process to an unacceptable level. When I go back to IE 6 I am fine. It simply does not work for me and I have XP Professional SP 2 as my OS. It became so annoying that I hid the notifications for this on the microsoft update site and am now receiving warnings that I have hidden important updates, combined with TM continually telling me I should upgrade to it. When I unhide, it is simply IE7 wanting me to reinstall. Why do I need IE7? Why does it not operate smoothly and efficiently? Please advise.  SignatureSS Did you install IE 7 by following these directions /exactly/: http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install and by downloading the IE 7 installer from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx and installing directly from your hard disk, rather than installing through Microsoft Update? If not, you may have a damaged installation of Internet Explorer 7. In this event you'll want to uninstall IE 7 (which returns you to IE 6) by following these directions /exactly/ http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html and then re-install IE 7 as above. Do you have the same experience with IE 7 when you run it without add-ons? [In XP: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) or: right-click the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop and select Start Without Add-ons] If so, enable add-ons one at a time until you find the add-on that is causing your problem. Remove that add-on and replace it with a version (from the publisher) that supports IE 7. Any improvement after resetting IE 7 to its defaults? [Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Reset Internet Explorer settings > Reset button > close IE 7 and restart it] Have you thoroughly scanned your system for malicious software with /several/ of the better online scanners (Kaspersky, Eset, Trend Micro, Panda, Sophos, Symantec etc.) and, if necessary, submitted a HiJack This log to one of the expert web sites that analyze these logs? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Trend Micro scans keep telling me that I am at risk unless I install IE7. > Problem is that I have installed 3 different times and each time, the cursor [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > When I unhide, it is simply IE7 wanting me to reinstall.

Leonard, I appreciate the quick response, however, I researched this site prior to posting my question and this is your canned generic answer that I have seen on most posts that complain about the ineffectiveness of IE7. Instructions are helpful but it does not answer my question. So, respectfully, again I ask...do I really need IE7 (for security or other purposes) and if so, why? SignatureSS > Did you install IE 7 by following these directions /exactly/: > http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install [quoted text clipped - 50 lines] > > When I unhide, it is simply IE7 wanting me to reinstall.

Therefore, I do not understand anybody who complains about any ineffectiveness of a product that functions as it should function in every case for me. I do not 'need' IE 7. I must have it because I wanted to have it. So I installed it on my XP machines and I'm using it with Vista. You can always ask why you need something, but in this case, I want it because it *is* great. It is more secure, easier to use, has more functions and looks better than IE 6. If you haven't seen these facts until now, I must say that you don't need IE 7. Microsoft, as you can see with Windows, knows that IE 7 is more secure and therefore better for Windows users, and so Windows tells you that it is an important update. And so does TrendMicro. Both know that it's important. There are some users who complain about Microsoft shipping unsecure or half-ready software, and on the other hand do not install security updates, new products that are more up to date. The error you are facing might be some little error, even not necessarily in IE 7 itself, but might be a compatibility issue between drivers, software and IE 7. And please give the helpful instructions a chance. Greetings, P.

Please advise. Thank you...that's a pretty good answer and at least provides hope that it works well for some. :-) SignatureSS > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 95 lines] > >> > need IE7? > >> > Why does it not operate smoothly and efficiently? Please advise. Scarlet, Many of us had issues prior to the public release of IE7. We weathered it. And, you actually do like it much better than you did IE6. As for the generic answers, they're usually the right answers for the newcomers to IE7. Open Tools>Internet Options>General Tab Click on Settings under Browsing History Click on View Objects Click on View and select Details Are any listed as damaged? Right click and remove them. Do any show a black shield with a Yellow Exclamation Mark? Right click and remove them as well. Reboot your system Have you looked in Event Viewer - Application Log or System Log for Hung App Errors - Event ID #'s are useful in tracking down Resolutions Good luck!

Please advise. You don't 'need' IE 7 just as you don't 'need' a computer. If you are interested in your security and privacy you'll 'wan't' a browser that is more secure, and IE 7 is considerably more secure than IE 6. But it's not the only browser that's more secure than IE 6. You'll also want IE 7 for web sites that don't work properly with other browsers. For that reason alone you should install IE 7. Nobody's telling you to use it all the time or to love it. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Leonard, > I appreciate the quick response, however, I researched this site prior to > posting my question and this is your canned generic answer that I have seen > on most posts that complain about the ineffectiveness of IE7.

You may have had one or more horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install(s) 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.
