Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Internet Explorer 7 exits immediatelly in Windows XP
Hello All, I know that there are many articles about this topic out there. Unfortunatelly, none of them solves my problem. I recently installed IE7 in my windows XP SP2 machine but I cannot make it work. It exits immediatelly as I start the application. It just "flickers" in the screen and disapears. I tried the following to no avail: - Disable all the plugins/add-ons - Start without add-ons (via all programs> Accessries>System Tools>IE7 no add ons - re-register the IEProxy.dll with regsvr32 - starting it via the command line as "iexplore about:blank" Every time, the bahavior is the same as explained before. No error message dialog, no message in the event viewer... As uinstall IE7, therefore reverting it back to IE6, the browse works fine. This is why I have postponed the upgrade for sucha a long time. Any information and help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards CD Before installing IE 7 you need to carefully follow the pre-installation preparation described here: http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install. Download the IE 7 installer directly from Microsoft and install from your hard disk: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx Uninstall IE 7 (which returns you to IE 6) by following these directions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927177 ...and... http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html and then re-install IE 7 following the directions above. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Hello All, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > Kind regards > CD Hello Leonard, I am using XP instead of VIsta.

I suggest that you... 1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) EXACTLY per http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html [Only use the Command %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot uninstall via Add/Remove Programs!] 2a. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window Blinds). 2b. Disable all Norton Add-ons, if applicable. 3. Reinstall IE7 EXACTLY per http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then STOP! NB: Use http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. Or Direct Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30 -081805b2f90b Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. 4. IMMEDIATELY go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any critical updates offered. If a "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
