This machine is running Win XP Professional. If I start an instance of Internet Explorer by clicking on the ikon at the foot of the screen, and then I start a second instance of Internet Explorer, the first instance disappears. This isn't what the ikon is supposed to do, is it? Any idea how to fix this behaviour?\n\nThanks

Hi, I hope you already found the answer. If you haven't, try this : \nGo to Tools -> internet Options -> Programs \nthen Click Mange Add-ons\nOn the bottom find YInstStarter Class, highlight that, then put the settings into disable ( bottom left box ).\nYou can disabled all of the Yahoo! Inc plugins just to make sure. That fixed my problem.

WINDOWS Explorer not Internet Explorer.\nOpen "My Computer". If it's not in "view" look in "tools".

it's very simple just uninstall it by going to Add or remove programs but remember your internet explorer will be restore to the version from which you have installed the new one. i mean to say that if ou have installed it from Version 6.0, 6.0 Service Pack 1 etc.

How do I know you are running Microsoft Internet Explorer, and not Firefox or Opera or any other browser...\n\nbecause Microsoft Permits naughty scripts to do naughty things! It has so many pop-up questions that it is difficult to tell what is important and what is not.\n\nTurning on javascript alone does not clobber everything... but MS's javascript + activeX can do that!\n\nJust say no to viruses and spyware (get protection!!!) or just getfirefox (http://getfirefox.com)

Yes, I did, about 2 weeks ago. Just uninstalled it today.  Pages take forever, or won't load at all. Get error messages, and it closes itself.  Back to Internet Explorer.

Update to the latest version of IE, this should solve your problem. I think this problem has arrisen due to a recent bug fix that Microsoft made, but it seems to have caused a lot of problems for a lot of users.

ie7 has caused nothing but trouble  revert back to ie 6, control panel programs add/remove, highlight ie7 and remove, it will revert back to ie6 ..\nWait until microsoft iron out all the bugs before upgrading to ie7, at the moment its rubbish !!

Maybe it uses cookies or macros in Excel or something like that. Try changing the security level on IE before reinstalling next time - Tools, Internet Options, Security

Netscape versions prior to version 8 did not share anything with Internet Explorer, except for one very odd case of a bookmark issue where Netscape 6 was reading Internet Explorer's bookmarks. I doubt Netscape 8 is causing your problem, and in fact can gaurentee you it is not.\n\nMy guess would be that the problem is caused by Microsoft antispyware, or another antispyware tool. The problem is called homepage locking. Some antispyware tools will try and change the homepage to prevent spyware infections. Microsoft's antispyware, called Windows Defender does this and changes it to a Microsoft homepage.\n\nAre you sure you provided me with a correct URL?\n\nIf you don't have an antispyware tool, I recommend WebRoot. Webroot (for pay software) gives you control over what homepage your browser(s) use.\n\nhttp://www.webroot.com\n\nBarring that, there is a free piece of software called IE Restrictions which may help.\n\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/get/ierestrictions.html\n\nIf you think that Internet Explorer is changing its own settings, try turning off any antispyware tools, and trying this:\n8.In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey, if it exists:\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Software&#92;Policies&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Control Panel\n9.If the ResetWebSettings value or the HomePage value exists in this key, right-click the values, and then click Delete.\n\nNote You may also want to verify any Web site information contained in the Default_Page_URL value and the Start Page value in the following registry keys:\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nHKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nHKEY_USERS&#92;Default&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n10.On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion.\n11.On the File menu or on the Registry menu, click Exit to quit Registry Editor.

I've seen it told on here that you need to close all your windows in IE while maximized and that will train the computer to open them maximixed.\n\nSo far, it's working for me.\n\nIF that is what you are talking about. The information you give isn't really all that concise. It's sort of confusing.

Ok, the first question here has got to be how are you attempting to install the plugins? The reason I ask is because they are already installed for IE you need to get them to install for Firefox and sometimes installing twice can be confusing.\n\n---\n\nHmm, not sure how to help with this one.\nI take it you are getting the bar at the top of the firefox window asking you to install and that doesnt do anything when you click to open it?\n\nPerhaps the link might help.

Once in a while, if you are doing multiple things, it will not DL properly. Try to un-install and start all over again, also you may want to see what kind of Ineternet Explorer you have - Good Luck.

Please distinct between Apple and Internet Explorer, Apple and Intel. Apple is a software manufacturers, while Internet Explorer is a product of Microsoft, Intel is a hardware manufacturers, specificly processor. Don't mess them up. You can't compare hardware manufacturer with a software manufacturer. And also comparing a company with a product.\n\nApple, in their product, uses also Intel, etc. It's just that when they released a computer _preinstalled_ with theor OS, they have choose the processors, mobo, etc very carefully to maximize the effeciency of each hardware. So the same processor running on Windows and running on preinstalled Mac may have difference in performance

Try downloading the internet explorer add-on.  I have it, and when something wont load, you click an IE icon in the bottom corner and it makes the website think it is an Internet Explorer search window.  You do not need to have internet explorer installed on your computer for this to work.  It's been a while since I added mine on so I dont know the best way to find this add-on any more.  Best bet is search 'internet explorer' on the extensions page.  Hope you find it because it works great!

Is really funny, someone asking this question. I know, and it sucks, guess what? Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 Beta does not work with any MacAfee products. I also had the same exact problem, when I tried to open my FireWall summary, a window will come up, but the window was just blank with nothing on it.\n\nI never read the "Currently posted bugs (issues)" and in that letter, Microsoft says that there are issues with MacAfee products while using IE 7 Beta, so you have to wait until the next release or uninstall and install IE 6.\n\nIt was very bad because I loved IE 7 Beta, but I had to uninstall it because I chose to keep my computer safe.\nWhat are you going to do?

I dont have your answer, but mine is doing the same thing. Try using another search enigne, like instead of using internet explorer, use foxfire or google. thats how i got back in.  GOOD LUCK

Had the same ongoing issues....switched to Mozilla Firefox and no more conflicts/problems. Wouldn't go back to IE now for the world.\n\nbtw....do a Google - there is an issue with IE7 and XP - and the "fix" tends to wreak havoc with printer drivers.
