IE7 Shuts down when I close a window.

I purached a new HP Pavillion a couple of months ago, and have had a problem
from the get-go. Issue is, I work overseas and our connection speeds over
here are so bad that this is the best format I've found for help.

Here is the issue: When I am surfing on IE7, if I open a new window (either
for viewing a new webpage or even for pop-ups) and then I close the second
(or third, fourth, fifth, etc.) window, IE7 freezes, then shuts down and then
restarts itself, losing any pages that i had been viewing in these windows.
Typically it's just frustrating and I deal with it, but my fiance' sent me an
ipod and I tried to download itunes and there is a tiny little pop up window
that closes itself after jut a fraction of a second. When that happens, all
of my windows close and I have to start over. After 5 tries i am ready to
throw my hands in the air and my computer into the river.

Hi,
Windows XP or Vista? (Might or might not matter.)

Start IE7 without add-ons from:
Right-click the IE icon on the desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.
or
Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no add-ons)

If the problem goes away, you have an incompatible browser add-on installed.
Start IE normally (add-ons enabled) then close it.

Go to Internet Options> Programs> Manage add-ons. Disable all add-ons then
re-enable them
one at a time until the troublesome add-on shows itself. Leave that one
disabled or uninstall it or see if there's an updated version which won't
cause problems with IE7.

Plan B:
You may be looking for a third-party program which is not a browser add-on.

This
"tiny little pop up window that closes itself after just a fraction of a
second"
sounds like the work of a pop-up blocker, maybe Ad-Aware/Adwatch?

Hope this helps,

Hey Don, just in case it matters, I'm using Vista.

Thanks,

Okay, got IE started in seperate windows without add-ons. Closed windows
individually with no problems. This is rather embarassing...I can drill oil
wells all over the world, but I don't know how to turn add-ons off. Please
help?

Hi,
Close / re-open IE. Add-ons should be enabled again.
Go to Internet Options> Programs> Manage add-ons. Disable all add-ons then
re-enable them one at a time until the troublesome add-on shows itself.
Leave that one disabled or uninstall it or see if there's an updated version
which won't cause problems with IE7.

Or, disable add-ons on at a time until problem returns to find the
troublesome add-on.

For toolbars and add-ons which can be easily reinstalled (google, yahoo,
live toolbars, etc) it may be better to simply uninstall them while
troubleshooting the issue than to disable them.

Until you have ie7 sorted, you might consider installing Mozilla Firefox 3.
It's a free download.
