Running XP Home and about a week ago i upgraded IE6 to IE7 now every time i close IE it locks up and you get the message IE has encountered a problem, was fine before the upgrade!
Anyone help please?

Its a pile of poo. It even had my machine re-booting when I closed it.

Back it out and install Firefox!

Wow thought that was just me.

You guys had the issue of it not launching media player 11 properly either?

i believe you can uninstall IE7 (leaves 6) in add remove programs in the control panel.

do that, and install firefox instead

Wot Cookie said...Firefox is the way to go

BTW...when you uninstall IE7, in typical w@nky Micosoft fashion (they hate you being able to use other software) you're very likely to get a warning box saying that anything you've installedsince IE7 went on might not work........

It's bollix...apparently it's because any prog that has an html based help file in it has that help file registered as an IE7 document.......in reality, it's highly unlikely to make any difference whatsoever, they're just trying to scare people into staying with IE7

You'll also find that if you have automatic updates ON, you'll get popups saying there are updates available....you can stop these by going to the windows update pages, looking at your update history and telling it to ignore the IE7 update...
