you can end the ie.exe task on the system manager. or u can turn it off with running "msconfig" at run and klik tab startup and you can unclick the ie.exe.

This is AIM, so there could be numerous problems here, but the most likely is that it's already running in the background.   Go to the task manager and see if there is a process running called "aim.exe"  or something like that (you might have to check the box that says "show processes for all users").  \n\nAnyway, if it is there, highlight it then click "end process" and then try to start it again.\n\nRebooting might be an option too if you haven't done that in a while.

look for a button on your internet explorer that says blocking popups, then press it to allow. If there is none look in the bottom right hand side of the monitor to see what programs are running in the background. If you see the popup block right click on it and deactivate.

Get rid of stupid Internet Explorer and use Mozilla Firefox.  IE has all sorts of odd quirks like this.

Also you may try and do this:\n\nStart > Run \nType in MSCONFIG\nGo to Startup, and uncheck the programs on start up (I find that helps)\n\nAlso in the right corner on the tasbar I Disable/Exit a few of those programs - running in the background

Hi there,\n\nI assume you are running Internet Explorer under windows.\n\nThe complete steps are described here : http://www.techjunkeez.com/archive/registry_hacks/disable_IE_clear_history.htm

Try checking windows update for IE patches.  If that doesn't help, try uninstalling and re-installing IE from Add/Remove programs->Windows Components

Go to control panel, Add-remove and uninstall IE7. IE6 will come back automatically.

Tell Internet Explorer not to load ActiveX components. Unfortunately this will also kill other ActiveX components such as media players, etc.\n\nTools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level...\n\nActiveX controls and plug-ins\n- Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins\n  o Disable

stop using IE. use mozilla firefox instead. it even has its own pop-up blocker.

explorer is different than iexplorer.\n\nThe explorer runs all the desktop, icons, and basic windows.   Iexplorer.exe is internet explorer.   They are different even though there is only one letter difference in spelling.\n\nSo no, you don't need internet explorer for your desktop

In Firefox, you have to set the "options" correctly to allow ActiveX behaviors. However, there is no reason that Firefox "blocks" IE. If you mean that IE was your default browser, and now Firefox is your default browser, you should do two things.\n\nFirefox: Tools> "options">General> and uncheck the box saying something like "check that firefox is the default browser".\n\nIn IE, Tools>Internet Options>Programs> there is a check box at the bottom to make sure IE is the default browser.\n\nBTW, at the Firefox web site, there is an excellent Frequently Asked Questions which I've found helpful.\n\nHope this helps.\nd
