Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008IE7 doesn't load in new windows/tabs
Since a recent update which I installed yesterday, I believe, IE7 does not load anything anymore in new Tabs or new Windows. The behavior is as follows, e.g. 1) open www.live.com 2) right click on the "images"-links and click "open in new tab" or "open in new window" The new tab/window will appear, the URL displayed in address bar the new tab/window is correct, but the page does not load. If I explicitly confirm the URL by pressing return in the address bar, the page loads. If a new window is opened via JavaScript the address bar displays not the correct URL, but the last URL I typed in. So to actually post in this newsgroup I had to download a different browser, because the form for new posts opens in a new window. My OS is 32bit Vista Home, I already did reset all setting of the internet explorer in options->advanced, disabled Norton Internet Security and so forth, but all with no success. What can I do to fix this problem? Vista or Vista SP1? <=JUST a question!

Thanks for the response, what I did so far and what I found out: It is Vista SP1 and the latest Updates were KB950124 and KB950125 after installing SP1. As described, IE7 does not freeze, it just does not load content in any new popups, tabs or windows. If the correct URL is visible, then I can confirm the URL by pressing return in the address bar and the page will load without any problems. - I did disable all plugins in IE7 (I did not know, that you can start it without any plugins). - I did reset IE7 by going to Options > Advanced > Reset - I uninstalled Norton Internet Security - Disabled the IE7 Popup Blocker Nothing of this helps. I did find this thread in the msdn forums: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=3143391&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1& at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=0 It does not fit exactly as IE7 does not freeze and the solution does not work either as I already disabled all plugins. But one thing mentioned in the forum works: If I start IE7 with Administrator privileges (right click "Run as Administrator") everything works perfectly. This is of course not a good solution, but maybe it gives hints to the cause of the problem. > Vista or Vista SP1? <=JUST a question! > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > forth, but all with no success. > > What can I do to fix this problem? > - I uninstalled Norton Internet Security Was it NIS 2008 or an earlier version? Did you also uninstall LiveUpdate and any Norton Add-ons, then download/run the Norton Removal Tool, and reboot? What anti-virus application have you installed to replace Norton AntiVirs?

No, I did just a plain uninstall. > What anti-virus application have you installed to replace Norton AntiVirs? > Is the Windows Firewall enabled now? None yet, I just wanted to see if Norton was the culprit and I tried it with the Windows Firewall enabled/disabled, no change. > > It is Vista SP1 and the latest Updates were KB950124 and KB950125 after > > installing SP1. I am not sure if it happened directly after the install of the two updates, but I already uninstalled both and it did not change anything. > => If yes, did you experience this behavior after installing Vista SP1?

Not directly, Vista was installed beginning of the week, so a couple of days earlier, and I am sure, that everything continued working correctly after the SP1 reboot. Norton was running in the background as the install of SP1 was running. I am running out of ideas, I wiped anything I could think of, that could affect IE, of my disc and did reset it and so forth and the only thing that makes it work as before is, if I start it as Administrator. Also, probably something completly unrelated (but who knows), which is very annoying. I cannot disable the window animations for minimizing/maximizing. When I disable it, it works for a while and without a reboot or anything - I have not figured ot the exact moment - the animations are enabled again. Somehow I get the feeling Vista is slowly falling apart... Please quote my entire post when you reply. Thank you. >> Did you also uninstall LiveUpdate and any Norton Add-ons, then >> download/run >> the Norton Removal Tool, and reboot? > No, I did just a plain uninstall. Until you do so, you cannot rule out NIS as the cause of the problem.

I strongly recommend that you get another AV app installed ASAP. NEVER connect the machine to the internet without a firewall being enabled! > ...Vista was installed beginning of the week...

It was not a wise idea, IMHO, to have had any Norton components running in the background whilst installing Vista SP1 or any other Service Packs for any Windows version. Good luck! =========================================== Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available at no charge through 18 Mar-09 • US: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-us&prid=11274&gprid=500921 • CA: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-ca&prid=11274&gprid=500921 • UK: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-gb&prid=11274&gprid=500921 • AU: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-au&prid=11274&gprid=500921 • Other: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx | select Windows Vista | select Windows Vista Service Pack 1 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/ >>> - I uninstalled Norton Internet Security >> [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > have not figured ot the exact moment - the animations are enabled again. > Somehow I get the feeling Vista is slowly falling apart... <paste> > Thanks for the response, what I did so far and what I found out: > [quoted text clipped - 73 lines] >>> forth, but all with no success. >>> What can I do to fix this problem? I can try the complete Norton Removal once, but as there were no updates to Norton before this new IE behavior appeared I hardly believe it has anything to do with it. The OS was originally Vista Home of course, SP1 was released to the automatic update at the 23rd as you might know. I would have disabled anti virus software during the SP1 installation if it was required, but the installtion did not demand it. Well, I give Vista a couple of more chances, if I cannot fix this, it has to go... > Please quote my entire post when you reply.
