Hi,
Which version of Windows? (Including SP level- e.g. Windows 7, Vista SP1,
XP SP2 , 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.
Right-click Computer/My Computer> Properties to obtain this information)
Which version of Internet Explorer? (From IE> Help> About)
Did you make a software change yesterday, such as a new security program,
new toolbar or other browser add-on, updates for a security program, updates
for Windows or Internet Explorer?
Are you using the Live toolbar to sync Favorites with a Skydrive account?
- - -
Try this...
Start Internet Explorer without add-ons by right-clicking the IE icon on the
desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.
or
from Start> Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no
add-ons)
If the problem goes away, you have an incompatible browser add-on installed.
