Internet Explorer 7 may exit immediately when it includes an add-on and you start it in Windows XP or in Windows Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

When Windows Internet Explorer 7 includes an add-on, Internet Explorer may exit immediately.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if an add-on conflicts with Internet Explorer.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, start Internet Explorer with add-ons disabled. To do this, click Start, click Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

If you start Internet Explorer with add-ons disabled, you may find that this resolves the issue. Then, you can locate and disable the add-on that conflicts with Internet Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Start Internet Explorer.
  2. On the Tools menu, point to Manage Add-ons, and then click Enable or Disable Add-ons.
  3. In the Manage Add-ons dialog box, click an add-on.
  4. Under Settings, click Enable, and then click OK.
  5. Restart Internet Explorer.

    If the problem occurs, the add-on that you recently enabled conflicts with Internet Explorer.
  6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until you locate the add-on that conflicts with Internet Explorer. Then, disable the add-on.

APPLIES TO
  • Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Server 2003 IA64

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
