IE7 consistently, quickly closes. IE settings button not visible.

Hi, I have checked out IE8 but it affected McAfee and I tried to revert back
to IE7. IE 7 opens but consistently quickly closes. The IE Settings button no
longer appears in Control Panel so I cannot reset. Any ideas on reinstalling
IE7 fully after uninstalling IE8? I am working on XP Professional. Dave

Try this:

IE7 Exits Immediately After Starting

Open the Run box and enter:
regsvr32.exe "%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\IEProxy.dll"

Hi, Thanks. Tried this and received a "succeeded" message but no change in
problem. Dave

No McAfee application is supported in IE8 Beta 2. Judging from the same
experience others have had, you will need to format & reinstall WinXP if you
did not fully disable the McAfee application before you installed or
uninstalled IE8 Beta 2. Such are the risks of installing any beta
application, Dave. Good luck!

similar problem, is this what you refer to? Cheers

No, a Repair Install will NOT correct the problem, Dave. You'll need to
format & reinstall Windows now.
