Internet Explorer wont start

General Topics
1

Yesterday I was prompted to install IE8 and thought nothing of it.

After the installation I rebooted and tested it, but when I click on the internet explorer icon I can see (in process explorer) that it loads and is instantly killed. (still happens today)

This isn’t much of a problem for me as I don’t use IE when I can but the others here do, so this is a bit of a problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

restore your windows to last restore point before install IE

disable all part of Online Armor.

clean up temp folders,

reinstall latest IE, let it update itself during install.

reboot your windows

now enable Online Armor :slight_smile:

I had this in a XP system… it was so hard that I need to reinstall Windows, install XP SP3 and IE8. Then it works. Probably some glitch in my computer, but I never knew what happened. Wish you more luck. Maybe uninstall IE8, boot, install or update IE7 and try getting IE8 again.

Thank you very much Omid!!!
Worked a charm
I’m typing this now in IE, Its incredibly faster, still takes ages to start though…more RAM please… :wink:
maybe I might use it again…

Tech,

This was my worry, after reading about your problems I was afraid I would have similar issues, but I seem to have been fairly lucky.

Thanks again guys :slight_smile:

well, you may try this:

in IE8, go to “Tools” menu and then “Manage add-ons”, in opened window, in “load times” column see which add-ons has been takes more time to load, disable all those add-ons that you don’t need, toolbars and…

it would makes IE load time much more faster and more stable and use less Ram :slight_smile:
