RE: Internet Explorer 7 Won't Open

I starting having this problem yesterday myself, I tried downloading IE8 to
see if that would make a difference and allow me to use IE, but that had no
effect at all. Did a "reset" as proposed above and still only frustration as
to what the heck went wrong. HELP PLEASE!

Hi,
First, you should uninstall IE8 Beta. Your problem is being caused by a
third-party program, add-on, toolbar, etc- not by IE7.

Make sure you're running 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, look for the troublesome add-on.
For troubleshooting information see:

If the problem is not caused by an add-on, look for a third-party program
as the cause.
