Hi,

I am having issues with IE7. I have created a number of web pages and
occasionally when I open one, IE7 asks if I want to close all tabs. This is
done after it displays the page itself. If I answer yes, IE7 closes, if I
answer no, IE7 asks again if I want to close all tabs. I suspected that this
issue was because of some bad code, so I tried the web page on other
computers runnin IE7 and IE6. In both instances it worked.

My P.C. has the ability to log into it via 2 users, myself and my wife. I
moved the file to the Share and logged in to my wifes account. I was able to
display it from there. This leads me to believe that it is something having
to do with a program that I run that is not compatible with IE7. Every now
and again, I also come across web pages that do the same thing, yet I know
that they work, again when I log in as my wife, and also on other P.C.'s in
the house.

I had posted this question to the Experts Exchange, as I am a member, but
they were not able to answer the question. I am hoping someone here may have
the answer. The web page I referenced that did the same thing was in that
trail, but it has been deleted. If I come up with it again I will post it. I
am pretty tired of it.

I have also tried to uninstall and re-install IE7 but it still does not
matter it does the same thing.

Please help.

To determine if your problem is caused by a third-party add-on, start IE
7 with no add-ons. If the problem no longer occurs, one (or more)
add-ons was causing the problem.

For Windows XP:
All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)

For Windows Vista:
Type Internet Explorer in the Start Search box > click Internet Explorer
(No Add-Ons)

To determine if your problem is caused by incorrect configuration
settings, reset IE 7 to its original configuration. If the problem no
longer occurs, one (or more) incorrect configuration settings was
causing the problem.

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > under Reset Internet Explorer
Settings, click Reset.

Note: If you want to continue to use any of your add-ons after a reset,
you'll have to reinstall them.

Leonard,

Thanks for the quick response. I did as you asked and started IE without
add-ons and opened the page. This time, IE closed down completely. If I bring
up IE now, in full mode, it does the same thing as it used to.. asks if I
want to close all tabs. In regards to the reset of IE, I can do that, but I
just re-installed it today. I would suspect that a re-instal would do the
same as a reset!?

Thanks,

Swaff -)

You may have another horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest
that you...

1. Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

2a. Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).

2b. Disable all Norton Add-ons, if applicable.

3. Reinstall IE7 exactly per
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install, and using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the installation
source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

4. IMMEDIATELY go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any
critical updates offered. If a "Root Certificates" update is listed in the
Optional category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of
IE7's additional security.

Thanks for the quick response again... Just a quick question. In the first
instruction, you mention to uninstall using the web page for vista. I am
running XP Pro, SP2. Do these instructions still apply?

Ignore the reference to Vista in that URL.

Thanks for the reply again.... I did manage to start prior to the response,
but of course, as luck would have it... I need to install the recovery
console, as the others did not work... and, my XP Pro version is prior to
XP-SP2. This just gets more and more fun... What a way to enjoy your week
off!!!

So, I will respond once I figure out how to create a windows XP sp2
installation folder and continue from there. This seems like an awful lot of
work for a product that was installed via an Automatic update and pushed down
to my P.C. I had suspected that I would have problems, but nothing to this
extent!

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO THE LETTER!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow.../getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. Make *certain* that you
check in at Windows Update immediately after installing IE7 and install any
critical updates offered. If Optional Updates category offers Root
Certificates update, I recommend installing it to take full advantage of
IE7's additional security.]
