Follow these steps to troubleshoot problems with Internet Explorer 7
..................
We have detected that Internet Explorer 7 has experienced recurring errors
on your computer.

This problem is usually caused by one or more Internet Explorer add-ons.
Unfortunately, we are unable to determine which add-on is causing the
problem.
However, you can follow some troubleshooting steps to try to fix this
problem.

Examples of add-ons
Some examples of add-ons for web browsers include:

Extra toolbars
Animated mouse pointers
Stock tickers
Pop-up ad blockers
Troubleshooting
.....................................

To try to solve this problem, follow these steps.

Start Internet Explorer with no add-ons

Close all Internet Explorer windows.
Click the Start button, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System
Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
If Internet Explorer starts and runs with all of the add-ons turned off,
then you need to determine which add-on is causing it to crash. Go to step
2.

If Internet Explorer crashes with all of the add-ons turned off, then you
need to reset Internet Explorer:

Reset Internet Explorer settings

By resetting Internet Explorer settings, you return it to the state it was
in when it was first installed on your computer. This is useful for
troubleshooting problems that might be caused by settings that were changed
after installation. When you restore Internet Explorer's default settings,
some webpages that rely on previously stored cookies, form data, passwords,
or previously installed browser add-ons might not work correctly. Resetting
Internet Explorer to its default settings does not delete your favorites,
feeds, and a few other personalized settings. The following table describes
what will happen to various settings when you reset Internet Explorer.

Settings categories

state)

Steps to reset Internet Explorer settings

Close all Internet Explorer windows.
Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Network and Internet and then click Internet Options.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Reset Internet Explorer settings, click Reset.
Restart Internet Explorer.
Disable all add-ons (one at a time) until you can no longer reproduce the
problem

Close all Internet Explorer windows.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Network and Internet, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Programs tab, and then click Manage add-ons.
Click the name of the add-on you want to turn off, and then, under Settings,
click Disable.
Click OK.
Restart Internet Explorer. Continue using Internet Explorer the same way you
did when you received a crash report. If Internet Explorer continues to
crash after disabling this add-on, continue with step h.
Repeat steps b through g for each add-on listed. When you can no longer
reproduce the problem, the most recently disabled add-on is the cause of the
problem. Please report this add-on to us by using the survey at the bottom
of this page to help us improve our error responses.
If these troubleshooting steps do not solve the problem and you continue to
receive problem reports, please consider filling out the survey at the top
right of this page. To help us continue to investigate this error, include
the names of the add-ons that are currently enabled in Internet Explorer in
the comments area of the survey.
