Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Tabs not connecting
Just recently I find I can't open a new Tab. Tab comes up with"Connecting" but nothing happens and IE freezes and I have to close it. I use XP home, IE7 and ZoneAlarm security. Was working till fairly recently but I can't be sure when. Haven't loaded any new Progs apart from Windows updates Any Ideas? iain Close Internet Explorer. Open Zone Alarm. Remove Internet Explorer from Zone Alarm. Close Zone Alarm. Start Internet Explorer. Respond to the prompt from Zone Alarm. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Just recently I find I can't open a new Tab.

The only problem is I lost a couple of buttons I liked, but I have other ways to work around that. I suspect one of the updates on June 11 caused this problem - the villan is - Microsucks!

NB: You may just need to uninstall it and then install the current build. YMMV. > Gates? Balmer? Who...tell me! > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] >>>>>> >>>>>> iain Thank you. What is amazing in some of what sounded like good technical advice is that I was directed to disable 3rd-party plug-ins and boot-up in safe mode, and/or with many of the start-up programs disabled. The multiple tab connecting message and iexplore process freezing occurred subsequent to a June 11th update. Whenever I initiated a multiple tab instance, I had to go to Task Manager to manually kill the iexplore process to close the IE 7 session that kept asking me if I wanted to close all tabs, but refused to close. The IE7 window icon on the task bar simply defaulted to IE7 with no other tab name info. The computer was a simple file server using only Microsoft software. I could not figure out what 3rd party software the Microsoft folks has in mind. Maybe I should replace the Microsoft stuff. > no joy from that BUT going to view>Toolbars>disable Windows Live and all was > restored [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >> > >> iain |
