Clean Vista Install - IE 7 DOA - Please Help
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! |

Sorry, didn't notice your "it doesn't work at all" statement. Don't know if
you can do this or not. -Frank "Frankster" wrote in message ... IE | Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | [Reset IE]. Close, reopen. -Frank wrote in message ups.com...

Clean Vista Install - IE 7 DOA - Try This.
Spencer--
It seems like people are posting general Vista problems in the setup group. Why I don't know but... I think this will solve your problem. Try running SFC (System File Checker) Run SFC (System File Checker) from an elevated command prompt. It replaces files that are damaged with intact ones: Startright click cmdrun as admintype at the prompt sfc /scannow. It is run this way--and it fixes more things than no boot Vista: You can run Startup Repair by putting your Vista DVD in after the language screen in setup. You can also run System Restore from the same location. You run the startup repair tool this way (and system restore from here is also sometimes effective): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925810/en-us How To Run Startup Repair In Vista Ultimate (Multiple Screenshots) http://www.windowsvista.windowsreins...rtup/index.htm Note The computer must be configured to start from a CD or from a DVD. For information about how to configure the computer to start from a CD or from a DVD, see the information that came with the computer. 2. Restart the computer. To do this, click Start, click the arrow next to the Lock button, and then click Restart. This usually means that you enter bios setup by whatever key or keys (sometimes there is more than one key that will do it for your model--go to pc manufacturer site) and configure CD to be first in the boot order. See for ref: Access/Enter Motherboard BIOS http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/bios_manufacturer.htm Note If you cannot restart the computer by using this method, use the power button to turn off the computer. Then, turn the computer back on. 3. Set your language preference, and then click Next. Note In most cases, the startup repair process starts automatically, and you do not have the option to select it in the System Recovery Options menu. 4. Click Repair your computer. 5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next. 6. In the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair to start the repair process. 7. When the repair process is complete, click Finish. Additional References for Startup Repair With Screenshots: How to Use Startup Repair: ***Accessing Windows RE (Repair Environment):*** 1) Insert Media into PC (the DVD you burned) 2) ***You will see on the Vista logo setup screen after lang. options in the lower left corner, a link called "System Recovery Options."*** Screenshot: System Recovery Options (Lower Left Link) http://blogs.itecn.net/photos/liuhui...4/500x375.aspx Screenshot: (Click first option "Startup Repair" http://www.leedesmond.com/images/img...SysRecOpt2.bmp How To Run Startup Repair In Vista Ultimate (Multiple Screenshots) http://www.windowsvista.windowsreins...rtup/index.htm 3) Select your OS for repair. 4) Its been my experience that you can see some causes of the crash from theWin RE featu You'll have a choice there of using: 1) Startup Repair 2) System Restore 3) Complete PC Restore Good luck, CH wrote in message ups.com...

I should have edited that last post a bit. What I'm saying to do is run SFC the way I showed you, and if it doesn't fix IE, then run Startup Repair (you don't have to have a startup problem to use it to fix problems like yours, but you do have to have a Vista DVD.

Perhaps the fastest is just click on Start then Search then type in Internet Explorer. Once you see it, right click, then properties, then make a shortcut which should automatically add it to your desktop. The icon is a big blue E with a gold curve something like half of the golden arches at McDonalds. |

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