Windows Guides reader, rkent57, has the following question:



Do any of you Gurus have an answer? (Thanks )

@ Rich & rkent57 - My desktop pc is an XP-Pro MCE with SP3 and Pentium4 3.0Ghz processor. [Similar to the specification on yours, rkent57] - I too have had that problem before with the browser turning white,I just uninstalled IE7 and reinstalled it.....it solved the problem! This problem has never occurred since.
To uninstall IE7 [in XP,and roll back to IE6] Click Start/Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs,then highlight "Internet Explorer 7" on the list with a left-click and the "Remove" option box comes up .... click "Remove" and it will uninstall IE7 and roll back to IE6. [A reboot would be a good idea at this point!]
Then after rebooting,using IE6 choose a search engine, type "Internet Explorer 7 download page" in the search box and search. - Or go directly to the IE7 download page here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downlo ... itnow.mspx ...... [rkent57, am assuming you want to reinstall IE7 as opposed to IE8??] .... and just follow the on-screen instructions. [IE7 download for XP-SP2 is on the left of the screen,just scroll down to it, I say this because IE8 download option is on the SAME PAGE!! - So be careful!]
I personally, would stick with IE7 for a wee while until IE8 has had at least a couple of patches applied to it,as IE8 [Final] was only released 3 weeks or so ago! [It's bound to be a bit "buggy" at first .... and by all accounts it "IS" a bit buggy!!]

Thanks for the info, I'll use it the next time I run into this. I think what happened is I got a "buggy" program but even after uninstalling it...I could not fix it. Anyhow, it was time to re-format the drive so I did and now is all well.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling IE7 - and don't forget the updates associated with it. Hopefully this will help you out!

@ Villela - Yeah,I kinda said that already!

@ rkent57 - Hope you manage to get a clean install of IE7 now you've formatted the drive.

you couldve reseted your explorer to the manufactuer settings ! from the advanced options , and try to unload useless addons , this will help if you sp3 , you can access IE7 no addons from start/allprog/Accessories , better luck next time

*agrees with X

You probably have wonky addon causing issues. If the reinstall of IE7 worked great, if not then you'll need to disable any addons you have running in it.

Two ways to do this, one is to go to Tools - Manage Addons, the other is to go directly to the files themselves (harder because some files aren't named in a nice user friendly way), and delete or them. You can find them at: "c:\windows\downloaded program files" And that only works for some like java, shockwave and some malware programs. Other Addons live where they are installed and can't be renamed. Best bet is to go the menu way and once that window is open, right click on any addon that looks odd, or 'new' and select "disable", or better yet, disable all of them. Then restart IE, and see if it runs fine. If it does then you know it was an addon. Then you can go back in and re-enable them one by one until the culprit is found.

Please post your results. We've had a lot of 'ask and run' here and we're all wondering if what we said helped.

This may not help but switch over to Firefox and am sure ur not need to reformat or uninstall anything...Just a kind suggestion..

Rich its like this iexplorer.exe means that your internet explorer program is having registry error try to have tune-up utilities 2009 installed in your pc that will definitely solve your issues.
