Anyone else have trouble with new IE 7?

I just installed my new Dell XPS 410 computer and it worked fine until I downloaded IE 7 and restarted it. I spent over 5 hours trying to fix the problem. It seems when I click on a link, the program stops working (IE 7) and I have to "end task" - needless to say I'm very frustrated and have had to revert back to the old IE, much to my chagrin. I loved the IE 7 which worked fine on my Dell Dimension 4300 (although that computer is very slow, especially compared to my XPS 410). Anyone else have this problem and if so, how do I fix it? Thanks for your serious answers!

The reason why IT organizations are NOT upgrading to IE7 is not because it is bad software. It is because its the first version of software. No IT company will ever upgrade any software to its first revision of the upgrade, that's just asking for trouble.

Now, you are free to use FireFox, but there is another problem with your computer that it is acting the way it is with IE7. Leaving it like that and just using another browser will lead to further problems.

First, did you download IE7 from Microsoft directly? If no, please do.

Second, have you updated your Windows installation by going to Windows Update? (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)

Third, did you have any toolbars installed prior to installing IE7? If yes, please uninstall them. Then try installing IE7 again.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

stop using ie7 and download mozilla firefox.
the best solution: get firefox it is much more stable (and faster, cleaner, cooler, and hurts microsoft :))

IE7 still has bugs. You could trying checking for updates or reinstalling with the latest version.

I can't help you with fixing your problem, but I hate IE7 and have only heard negative things about it. Good luck!
Uninstall IE7 and Install FireFox 2.0. Problem Solved.
Internet Explorer is beyond lame.

Get a real browser. Get Firefox. Get it here.

http://www.firefox.com
First, I would attempt to utilize a System Restore point prior to installing IE7. Although it has been released you'll want to go read the release notes from Microsoft to verify that you have everything up to date for the IE7 installlation. I do know that many IT organizations are currently not supporting IE7 until the appropriate updates are clarified and released.
Forget IE7.... Internet Explorer blew it's last straw for me this time last week too.

Brand spanking new computer (built myself), fresh install of Windows XP SP2 with Internet Explorer6 last Thursday afternoon.

Come Friday night, IE6 was rendered as much use as a chocolate fireguard by the fact the pop-up blocker decided it wouldn't let me download all the new software I needed to get back up to speed again after my old PC had completely fried it's self....... wouldn't let me open my webmail either........... so in the end I installed Mozilla Firefox instead, since I had a copy downloaded earlier in the week on my USB flashdrive having downloaded it from my Grandma's computer to try get my crappy old laptop I was having to make do with until my new PC was completed actually capable of loading websites (that thing was so old it was running IE4, and wouldn't load newer sites like this place, or MySpace, etc).

Trust me......... just get Firefox, it's ALOT easier.... doesn't matter if you're using a shagged-out Laptop with a 133MHz Pentium1 Processor %26amp; 80MB of RAM (upgraded from 16MB), or a relatively fast PC like my new 3.33GHz Intel Celeron D desktop, with 1GB of RAM.... FIREFOX works loads faster, and if it does screw-up then when you try to re-open it, it gives you the opportunity to resume from the webpage you were last looking at when it crashed.

i have the same problem! i use yahoo messenger,email, tool bar and originally downloaded IE7 along w/ the above. My brand new DELL XPS 410 comes equiped w/ trend/micro/pc-cillian and all sorts of software too. The " darn thang" freeezes, stops and states "program not responding" and then ya gotta 'end task' and start a new??!! I did the system restore w/ dell, redownloaded IE6 and yahoo stuff...but still have "not responding" $#%!!!, when switching to my space, yahoo pics,email ect....does anyone "really" agree w/ the IE guy who says 'uninstall all and the DL IE7' or if Firefox is so great HOW %26amp; WHAT DO I UNINSTALL to start fresh and use this 'bloody" thing for which I need? and i still wann keep yahoo mail, MSN, hotmail? Is this possible?
Well, you really need to make sure you go back to a restore point before you grabbed IE7.

IE7 is a typical Microsoft product, released before testing, and you are one of the testers!!!

Just say NO!!!

Then, http://getfirefox.com
Contrarily to what some ppl might say, don't uninstall IE7, unless u overwrite it with an IE6 installation. Uninstalling IE completely may cause problems for your Windows operating system. I would probably suggest u revert to IE6 as the first step.

Then try using an alternate browser. Don't listen to those that say "switch to firefox, it's the best." Well that's a pretty subjective comment, it's like saying "eat chocolate ice cream, it's the best." Although Firefox is also my personal favorite, only YOU can tell what browser u like best, so here's a list of some of the more popular alternatives to IE on the Windows platform:

- Mozilla Firefox

- Opera

- Netscape

- Mozilla (now called SeaMonkey)

There are others less popular, but these are the ones I suggest u try out if u want to get away from IE. And remember, in the software world, u shouldn't let people force software on you (like Microsoft does), you should be using what you like.

P.S. I use IE7 as my 3rd browser of choice (Firefox being the first and Opera being the second) and so far, I haven't had too much problem with it. Feature-wise I think it's better than IE6, and they are catching up with the other browsers, but I still feel it's lagging behind somewhat on web standards (you'll notice if u do web development). Bug-wise, well I think u've experienced it on ur own.

Have fun experimenting with new things

Why does IE keep closing down on just 1 site?

It does it just on C/NET Download.com. If I hurry and click on something to check out fast enough and get to that second page its usually alright. I don't have this problem with any other sites. I'm using IE 6..I tried the 7 and didn't like it..and NO I DON'T WANT TO INSTALL Firefox..tried it too and didnt like it..lol..just seems odd that I only have this problem when going to download.com. I get message "IE cannot open the internet site http://www.download.com"

Why does IE keep closing down on just 1 site?ies

Try clearing out your Temp files, and also do a virus scan and spywear scan.

How can i set IE as my deful browser?

I have both IE and firefox But whenever i click on something on msn or any button supposed to open in the internet it opens with Firefox but i want it to open with IE how can i set IE as my defult browser?

How can i set IE as my deful browser?default browser

The problem is that you made fire fox your default. in fire fox decheck make tis my default browser and the browser you have open will open everything

How can i set IE as my deful browser?microsoft word download internet explorer

Open up IE. Then go to the menu and select Tools%26gt;Internet Options and click on the program tab. Near the middle their should be a button called "make default" click on it. You could also put a check mark in the box tell me IE is not the default browser too for extra measure.

Good Luck

Fre.
Open up IE and go to Tools and Internet Options and Programs and go set Internet Explorer as the Default Browser

...and the next time Firefox asks, say Nope and Don't ask again!
In IE go to Internet Options, select the Programs tab, click the "Make Default" button in the "Default Web Browser" section.

Switched from IE to firefox?

I`m useing vista. I have IE and switched to firefox. On IE i have norton 360 . I want to keep IE and norton360 on it. Also i want to have firefox. How do i put norton 360 on firefox and keep it on IE? I hope this is possible it would be nice to have IE with norton 360 and firefox with norton 360 both. What i see of firefox is that it is faster IE to me is kinda old. I feel that i will use firefox more than IE but i just want to keep IE you know just in case i need it. Also i bought this norton 360 at best buy for $70 bucks and i dont have a lot of extra money to spend to go out and buy a nother or something like it for firefox protection. Thanks

Switched from IE to firefox?internet explorer download

Just download Fx (Firefox).

Norton 360 will still do its job as a security program.

IE 7 is suggested for XP. IE sucks for XP. Mozilla is better for windows XP. its way better then EI 7 even.... seriously
What is not working about it? We can not help you until we know the problem.

Also consider using Firefox, it has everything IE has, except it is faster, more secure, and has free add-ons. IE has built in FTP filing, but it doesn't, it just uses file explorer, a program on all Windows machines (My Documents, My computer, etc). Firefox has a better one that is faster and is a free addon, fireFTP. Please just consider Firefox. Unless there is a reason to use IE, then I would switch over to Firefox xP
Get a free Mozilla Firefox browser. I've never had any problems since getting it. Had IE7 on XP but it kept crashing with it's hyper security settings I couldn't get around. Firefox has the tab functions and plenty of great features and runs java without hiccups. It's far superior to IE.
Try firefox or another browser.
You may be having a virus or spyware installed on your PC. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html
Everyone is suggesting the OP get Firefox or Mozilla...but no one seems to realize that if IE isn't working, HE CAN'T DOWNLOAD EITHER ONE! *sigh* Without knowing more about your particular issue, I can only offer generalized advice. Run a virus scan; hopefully your antivirus software was up-to-date before you lost connectivity. (Can it still connect to the internet for updates?) Check for spyware. Also of potentially humongous importance: What are your firewall settings? It's remotely possible that you've locked yourself out of IE.

You say you "reinstalled"...what did you reinstall? Windows?

And to those who say IE is crap, well... *shrug* I've been using IE7 for some time now, and frankly, I miss IE6. Friendlier interface. With the general improvements made in IE7, the only thing Mozilla or Firefox have over IE is that they're not made by Microsoft. (The preceding is, of course, strictly my opinion.)

Uninstall IE?

Can anyone please walk me thru the steps of unstalling IE from my pc? Please!

Im using IE8, I dont want to uninstall it to go back to IE7, I know how to do that. I just no longer want IE from my pc.

Thanks for all your help. Suggestion will be appreciated, but do not judge !!!

Uninstall IE?microsoft sql server

IE is integrated with the Windows environment. Although it no longer strictly relies on it, Windows considers it a system file, and will automatically replace it if you attempt to delete it. You could delete it from the backup cache in Safe Mode, but it would be replaced if you ever need to repair your system files.

The only real effective way to remove IE is to keep it from ever being installed in the first place. You can remove it and create a custom Windows disc using nLite (for XP) or vLite (for Vista).

Uninstall IE?windows themes internet explorer

then uninstall ie
I'm not sure that you can. IE comes with the Operating System.
My advice is to go to Microsoft Website and search for the question ' How to uninstall IE V.6" as this will solve the problem, and I can remember i try this way some times before
Do not un-install IE. Your PC will need it!!

You can still keep it on your PC and use the many other 35= browsers on the market with no conflict at all.!!

PS.. I am not judging, im just part of the jury:)
install it over them .

you cant remove IE from pc!
You cannot uninstall IE, it is an intergral part of Windows. Doing so will likely totally bork your operating system.

Besides, without IE you can not receive Windows Updates, and without installing Windows critical updates, your computer will be a malware magnet.

IE 7 32-Bit stopped working when I installed Google Desktop (Widgets) on Vista, but IE 7 64-Bit work

My notebook PC has 64-Bit Vista installed on it (with Vista Ultimate, if it matters. 2GB RAM.)

For background info, my computer came with 32-Bit IE 7 AND 64-Bit IE 7 -- and until this problem I've used both versions without incident.

Yesterday, I decided to install Google Desktop on my notebook so I could use Google Widgets instead of Vista's.

Since that install, IE 7 (32-Bit Version) won't work -- it opens, my default tabs appear, but it hangs without loading the sites.

IE 7 (64-Bit Version) runs just fine -- no problems at all.

Anyone know what's up? If it was a Memory/Resource issue, I would assume 64-Bit IE 7 would have the same problem.

Any thoughts on this are much appreciated.
