Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Major Bug that can be repeated
Hi All, How can you inform Microsoft that there is a Magic Bug in Internet Explorer that can be repeated? Magic Bug: Internet Explorer is open in Web Mail and you open a message. You go to a Forum to read the message at the Forum. You click Reply to answer. Now you click Submit to post your respond, which has been accepted. Since you don't need to see your posted respond, you close the Tab. That's when the bug comes into play. After you see that you will redirected to your post, you close the tab before you are redirected. After you closed the tab, additional Windows are being opened of Internet Explorer. The only way to stop additional Windows from opening up, is to bring up Task Manager. Click Processes. Highlight iexplore.exe and click End Process and answer Yes. This is so repeatable. You don't even to go to Webmail, just post a message in any forum, and close the Tab before you view the post.  Signaturethecreator Windows version? IE version?

Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode: Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No add-ons). Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/07/25/678113.aspx 2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using! 3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 *exactly* per the link below (which automatically returns you to IE6), (b) all toolbars and (c) all third-party Windows Themes (including Window Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist? If it does, do NOT reinstall IE7. Uninstalling IE7 http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html [Only use the Command %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot uninstall via Add/Remove Programs!] IE7 (Un)Installation and Anti-Malware Applications: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/10/11/IE7-Installation-and-Anti_2D00_Malwa re-Applications.aspx 4. Required reading IMHO before reinstalling IE7: Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then STOP http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install I strongly recommend using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. 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. 5. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it to take full advantage of IE7's additional security. ==================== IMPORTANT! => IE and Windows XP Service Pack 3 http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/05/05/ie-and-xpsp3.aspx Signature~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ > Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 fully updated. > Version 7.0.5730.13 [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >>> This is so repeatable.

The only Toolbar being used is RoboForm and the Lexmark Printer Toolbar. This occurred before installing the Lexmark Toolbar. I checked Add-ons and there wasa Privacy toolbar from McAfee which I disabled.

Uninstall it via Add/Remove Programs & reboot. If you can't live without it, download/install the current version. The McAfee toolbar might be OK. Only testing with it enabled and disabled will tell.

Sometimes the problem's due to a /combination/ of third-party toolbars, not any one toolbar itself. > Hi PA Bear, > [quoted text clipped - 120 lines] >>>>>>> a >>>>>>> message in any forum, and close the Tab before you view the post. |
