Very good point and one that always should be explored when IE begins
misbehaving. Sometimes, the addin that causes the problem will only cause it
transiently and not consistently. I've seen Adobe Flash in Vista do this.

Is it possible that an add-in is causing this? Try this to run IE 7 with
add-ins disabled:

Start All Programs Accessories System Tools Internet Explorer (no
add-ins)

Hey everyone;

I just did a clean install of Vista last night. I have been adding my
programs, data, etc.
All of a sudden IE 7 stops working. I get an error message for it
starting, it doesn't crash or act weird, it just doesn't work at all.
FireFox is totally fine, and my internet connection is fine.

So, what to do? Can you reinstall IE 7 from something? I tried
downloading it from the MS site, but it wouldn't let me because it
said that IE 7 was a part of Vista.

Is there a way to restore IE from the Vista disc? Where.

Can I run some type of repair install, but not lose the drivers I
downladed?

Please! Someone help me!

This was dead on. Perfect! I have had the problem repeat itself
several times, and the reset always fixes it.
I think Flash may be causing it, because I've heard that Flash in
Vista can be a problem.
