    Can't open IE7
    « on: December 19, 2010, 02:20:02 PM »
    I'm using a desktop machine with Win XP Pro Sp3, Intel core 2 quad and 4 GB RAM. I was using IE6 quite happily, but after Microsoft's incessant bugging to upgrade to IE7 I finally caved and downloaded IE7. The download went OK and IE7 appears in "Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". However, I cannot initiate IE7 either by clicking on the icon or by clicking on iexplore.exe. When I do, the hourglass blinks for a fraction of a second and then - NOTHING! I can access the internet fine with Firefox.
    Any ideas?

    Either uninstall IE7, use system restore to go back to before you installed it, or download IE8
