Internet Explorer has stopped working correctly
Because my browser froze while windows was loading, I wound up doing a
System Restore with an undo, since Internet Explorer, Health & Support and my Weather Bug Desktop stopped working correctly, due to a problem. How do I know what kind of a problem and how to fix it? So far I was always able to do it, but this one is beyond. Apparently System restore caused my current situation. I am on dial-up and was downloading and installing Avira and AVG in addition to running Avast, which kept asking me to 'upgrade', when my browser froze afterwards. While one program was running, the other two were disabled, the reason being for me to choose between them. OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit & IE9 w. SP2. PC: Dell Inspiron 530S. There are no problems with free space or memory. Any suggestions? Harry. |

If you are running several of these AV programs at once, that might be causing the lockups. Uninstall or at least disable all but one. These programs each look at files that you are accessing; if two or three programs are competing with each other in this process, you lose... You might also consider going back one or two restores further than what you already did. I'm not sure that you can download IE to a thumb drive, but if you can, then do that on another computer and then (re)install IE on your computer from the thumb drive. Otherwise, install another browser on your computer so you can download and reinstall IE. You might need to use another computer to do this with a thumb drive, but other browsers should work this way. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

It is contraindicated to have more than one fully installed antio virus application installed performing both "On Demand" and "On Access" scanning. You can have one fully installed antio virus application installed performing both "On Demand" and "On Access" and multiple other "On Demand" scanners. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

If nothing works I will have to start from scratch, which I tried to avoid. Thanks for your help, Gene. Harry. |

It wasn't just IE which stopped working, there were several programs besides, i.e. Windows Sidebar, Google Desktop and some other applications. They all stopped running in Startup, because it was 'overloaded', as I was informed while working in 'Safe Mode'. I used to check it every so often, but not lately. Now I am able to find a solution to my problem. Anything being presented here is helpful to me, thank you very much. Harry. |

My Startup was 'overloaded'. When I did a Restore, I was informed about it. Usually I checked my Startup situation periodically, but haven't done so lately. Knowing the cause, the route to a fix is clear. It didn't have anything to do with my Antivirus applications either. Harry. |
