Yea know what you mean.I don't quite like IE integrated in Bill is always trying to shove crap down our throats.i liked when i could uninstall it if i desired.My printer didn't work right till HP put out a patch after IE7 install i don't use it i like firefox.IE7 is slow though your right on that.

Hi again!

Okay, ran rootcheck and AVG Anti-Root and everything's coming up clean.

As I've said ... I've been lurking and participating in a couple of tekkie sites with posts from all over the world -- lots of people are having the exact same problem even though all their systems and configurations and allied programs are different.

The only conclusion anyone can make is that this is NOT a system-specific problem. There's obviously a major problem with IE7. What I want to know is ... is DaniWeb willing to coordinate complaints and open a direct line of communication with Microsoft? My guess is that a message from a tech forum collectively will carry more weight than any of us individually doing it.

A quick trawl through the recent messages on this thread about this problem will reveal that all the normal fixes just don't work. We can't all be wrong!!!

I'm at the point where I'm going to remove IE7 and stick with IE6. The stupid thing is that I won't be able to test my clients' web work on IE7, which is being bundled with new machines.

Have you run any RootKit detection and removal on your system?

Run this:

Hi TT4Tians and thanks so much for replying, and please forgive my belated response. Have been dealing with a dying, then dead power supply unit in my CPU, which is now fixed. Now I'm way behind on deadlines, so will return asap. Meanwhile, I think I see others are having the same problem with IE7. My theory is that IE6 was built to integrate with XP [which is what I'm running] and IE7 integrates with Vista [which I wouldn't touch till they completely debug it]. When fewer people took up Vista than anticipated, MS decided to push IE7 as a stand-alone but it must be riddled with applet and 3rd party program incompatibilities. One of these seems to concern parent applications re browsers so that it's almost impossible to run Firefox as a default, for example, and then try to open IE7. Now, honestly, a browser should not take up to 5 minutes to open ... should it?!!!!

Anyway ... lemme get these deadlines and -- in the words of the Governator - I'll be back! ;)

I'm mad :@, sad :(, and badly treated ... by IE7:confused: . I thought Firefox was safe, and now boo-hoo, it's crashing too! :'(

You KNOW there's a looooooooong post coming ...

BUT FIRST - this related question?
Does anyone know what this reg entry is, please:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1659004503-492894223-725345543-1004\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN\iexplore.exe!=W=1

Only Spybot S&D has picked it up of all my gazillions of spyware, malware and trojan scanners.

You wanna list of 'em? OK:
CCleaner
XCleaner
Trojan Hunter
Ewido
AVG Anti-Spyware
LavaSoft Ad-Aware & AdWatch+

BTW - all my 'puter specs are in my profile if you need 'em.

Why am I telling you all this ... well, I've now been searching for what seems a lifetime since my IE7 started crashing in the same manner as marcoolio and a growing population of sufferers. I think this reg entry may be related -- especially when I saw an entire thread about it on the Spybot Forum.

I've been participating in and lurking on numerous tekkie boards for a clue about how to fix this. There seem to be as many so-called 'solutions' as there are advice-givers.

The problem is NOTHING works. Not for me. Not for the posters of the problems. Oh, yes, sure, some so-called fixes SEEM to work. Then - whoosh - the problem returns. It's Hang City.

The frustrating thing is that there seems to be no pattern to when it happens. …

That took me a while too.
Think about how to get a bridge....

Ha-hah! Thanx, but ... Too slow, my dear ... I got it!!

I'm further and further singing as I solve until I'm squished and need to start aaaaaaaaallllllllllllll over again :(

And further and further away I see my life passing somewhere else, somewhere far away.

Got to do the impossible.
Got to do the impossible.
Got to do the impossible.
Got to do the impossible.

Okay ... first of all i HATE u because you have appropriated 1½ hours of my life ... and 2ndly ... wtf with the don't touch the pink?!!!!

I want answers and i want'em now! :)

Thank you Davey! Or should I see ee 'up lad!

BTW - do you know my pal Bill Thompson?

I'm very impressed with DaniWeb so far - the lovely rwaforums has already solved one of my problems over on the Tech XP arena, and I'm hopeful someone will be able to help stop IE7 crashing left, right, and centre.

Going away now to chill in front of the telly.
Cheers

Is this the problem you are having?

You are SO smart and I love you I tell you, I LOVE you!! :*

[no one needs a footprint THAT small. ever. at all.]
Thank you masked man!:)

Very strange ... suddenly, for no known reason, if I call up Task Manager to monitor processes and memory ... it appears without its function buttons - i.e. minimize, restore, close. Also all the other tabs are gone. So I've got this box - which I can resize and which does have a scroll bar and the End Process button and the checkbox that says: Show processes from all users. But I have no way of getting the thing off my screen, so it just sits there till I reboot or close down.

What did I do to deserve this???? :'(

All help gratefully received. TIA!

Hello, as you will see I am new, and I would like to be honest with you all and say have joined this forum for the express purppose of getting some help as I am desperate - BUT - if anyone is kind enough to help me out please be assured I fully intend to stay a member and try and help others too.

I am having some real problems with my browser. My PC runs Win XP and I use IE, I work online all day across a variety of sites, but two for the majority of the time.

The problem I'm having is that after a certain amount of time on the sites that I'm on all the time, when I've been online and working for a while, when I refresh my internet freezes initially and then shows an 'Page cannot be displayed' message. The site will then not reload, even if I try a differnt page, nor will any other pages and I have to restart my machine.

On an average day this happens maybe five times, today it seemed to be every hour which has made me so desperate.

My PC is not amazing, but fairly up to date (bog standard Dell Dimension) and I have upgraded the memory to 2MB DDR2.

My internet is 4MB broadband with ethernet connection.

I delete my temp internet files, defrag my hard drive and run basic Windows prompted maintenance from my control panel on a weekly basis.

If anyone …

Hi ... I've just joined and already the vibe seems to be very friendly -- I like that! :)

A bit about me: very much a mix of solid non-tekkie knowledge more on the aesthetic side of development, and total DUH! :?: :confused: about the way code works and why -- definitely hurts my widdle bwain.

I come from the meandering corridors of showbiz [performing, producing, writing, BBC exec-ing] which somehow morphed for me into the big wide web world. Was a senior web producer for a few years, wrote a book about the web called The Net Effect and still make websites mostly for friends, charities, and barter. For the past 10 years I've been one of the official Webby judges and I'm thrilled to say one of my nominations - the great [TEENAGE] Alan Becker - won the People's Vote this year for his fab Flash movie Animator vs Animation - if you haven't seen it, you will LOVE it, guaranteed!

I'm also a media journo and, after some absence in print, have started writing again for a leftie paper called The Morning Star. You can read my stuff online if you're interested:yawn: Currently I've got a review of Die Hard 4.0 and a piece called The Politics of Fear, looking behind the horor genre.

I also once upon a time in a Hollywood galaxy far away, I spent the best part of 6 months in a cage …
