HELP!! My factory installed IE7 has been corrupted somehow. I've tried "Reset" three times to no avail. I have screenshots of the error(s). The start up page http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx will not go away. I can navigate away from it, however, links don't work, FlashPlayer doesn't work, and it fails at the point during "Reset" something about the "User Customizations"???

I cannot delete it and start fresh, or can I? Please help.

Respectfully submitted,

Robert Goltz

As that has a lot of impact on this.

If it's Vista you really need to do a Repair Install or reinstall the OS after backing up your Data as IE7 is part of the Vista Kernel.

If you list your OS now one of the US Peers will be able to answer it fairly quickly.

Col,

Thanx 4 the reply , I have Vista Home Basic 32-Bit running on a Toshiba Satellite(see below if more needed).

I dreaded your answer though I strongly suspected it to be the only one. I was able to download and install IE7 w/Google Toolbar. It went further ("Finish" than any other install, though it didn't change the problemas.... . I'll give it a few days b4 I do the Repair Install, jus in case somebody can work magic on MS's latest monster.

Sincerely yours,

Robert G

If you fit another 512 MEG of RAM to the other available socket you will get a much better machine as it really needs paired RAM fitted.

As you have Vista you are really between a Rock & a Hard Place as that is part of Windows so there is nothing to do but a repair install.

Hi:

Knew my fantasy was coming 2 an end, thanks for dashing all hope.....lol.

OK, I'll do it, because, unfortunately, I need IE for my Online biz.

On the mem issue, I have 1.5M filling 1M in slot 0 and 512 in S1. Are you saying I need matched 1-1, 512-512, 2-2, etc.???

TY again.

Robert

The 512 MEG and replacing it with another 1 GIG Stick. You'll find that the system works much better.
