Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 7

I have a network of about 225 users that have either IE 10 or 11 installed.  both of these browsers are constantly crashing and display the recover webpage pop up.  The problem does not seem to affect all users.  on affected machines I have
disabled  all group policy, disabled all IE add on's and plug in's and even launched EI in NO-add-on mode.  none of this has had any effect.  The machines have been freshly re-imaged using config manager.  I went as far as creating a new
windows 7 image that has IE 11 preinstalled.  I have no idea where to look to solve this issue.  the logs just give me a generic "stopped responding" error.  If I can not get to the root cause of this issue I may have to Abandon IE
all together.
I have done all of the suggested IE reset to default, un-install and re-install, reinstalled windows...nothing seems to make IE more useable.
Can anybody else shed some light on where to go next?

Just getting back after a nice long weekend.
     We connect Via Fiber and use our own DNS servers, no proxy. All add-Ons are disabled.  the problem does not exist with other browsers.  The public ADP website is one, support.microsoft.com/oas is one of the worst affected
sites along with our own Help-Desk.  The tough part is that is seems to be random.  I can get to our help-desk site and use it for hours some days, and other days it will become unresponsive every few minutes.
We use system center Endpoint protection (Forefront).  definitions are updated regularly.

    If I may, I see that you are using xp, but since its support is finished, for security reasons I advise you to go under windows 7 (if your pc allows).

  • QuickTime 7.7.1, Windows Vista, Internet Explorer, and .mpg files

    After updating QuickTime to 7.7.1, QuickTime runs whenever I click on a .mpg file in Internet Explorer, under Windows Vista.
    The last time this happened I had to go into QuickTime>Edit>Preferences>QuickTime Preferences>Browser>Mime Settings and uncheck the MIME association to .mpg files.
    This time with QuickTime 7.7.1, clicking on MIME Settings just opens up Windows Default Programs association window, not the Quicktime MIME associations.  .mpg is unchecked, and Windows Media Player is associated with .mpg.  All file types that are checked for QuickTime are grayed out, and cannot be unchecked.
    Any ideas?

    Solution found:
    After making sure Windows Media Player is the default player in Windows Default Programs for file types .mp3 and .mpg, open Internet Explorer, click on Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Set Programs>Set program access and computer defaults>Custom>Choose a default media player: Then click on Windows Media Player radio button.
    In Customs, you have to either click on the word Customs or click on the down arrows to the far right of Customs to expand the choices, and find "Choose a default media player:"
    You will also have to be logged in as Administrator or have the Admin password to reset this choice.

  • How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

    In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed.  This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
    These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
    To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager.  To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
    Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
    Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
    Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
    Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
    Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
    It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request.  If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

    If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

  • How to restore Adobe Flash Player for 32 bit Internet Explorer of Windows 8.1 64 bit?

    Default Windows 8.1 64 bit install runs Internet Explorer 11 32 bit and all it's features, but slight disturbance for install of integrated applications runs user in such a trouble of loopback which he or she cannot escape, because problem application doesn't
    runs for Windows or for it's programs, won't show it's Windows existence but wouldn't allow install of it's new software, I could only install complete new program for Windows program to run desired object.
    I am using Rocket browser for Internet Explorer 11 32 bit because of problem of Adobe Flash Player uninstall or install.
    But how many applications do I have to search, trial and if at all successful install for use because of problems of such applications of Windows?

    As we have reviewed in other threads on the same topic. Internet Explorer for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 make use of separate management and content processes which on the desktop in a 64 bit environment are 64 bit and 32 bit respectively.
    This is explained here on the IEInternals blog.
    In most scenarios, the multiple processes are entirely transparent to the browsing experience. 32 bit addons continue to load and interact as expected with the content processes in which they are run and web scripts which detect browser architecture continue
    to function, detecting a 32 bit browser.
    In the Modern UI experience, the scenario is even more transparent as support for addons such as Flash and JavaScript are integrated into the 64 bit processes and updated through standard Windows Updates.

    Answer for problem simply Got it !
    Internet Explorer 11 needs websites 'Trusted', add all pages in need of running addons, and rest Windows operating system handles.
    Now I am listening to songs on Windows Media Player (T3 skin) from a website which earlier messaged Adobe Flash Player not installed refusing playing songs, but now running programs without installing Adobe Flash Player.

  • Opening pdf in Internet Explorer on Windows

    I attempt to open a pdf file in Internet Explorer and get the following message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Plesx exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again".
    Acrobat Reader is then launched and the pdf opens.
    Is there any way I can view directly in the web browser? I can do this in Firefox on both Windows and Linux.
    (Also I've had to create a new screen Ziggy Short as Ben Short has been disabled on forums for some reason, but Ben Short and Ziggy Short are one and the same).
    Thanks

    What's,with,the,commas?
    If you have a tablet that runs full Windows 8 - not Windows 8 RT, which is limited.
    And if you install the full Adobe Reader for Windows, not the special Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8.
    Then you will have the same features as a desktop.
    Unless they can't be accessed in touch mode, since it isn't a touch app.

  • Mostly websites are not open on internet explorer and other browsers in my laptop

    mostly web sites are not open in internet explorer and other web browsers in my laptop.

    Rob,
    Many thanks for your reply.  It is appreciated greatly.  I have added text against each of the points that you raise.
    troubleshooting Addons is somewhat complex.....as from this side we do not know which addon may be causing the problem, so the
    only recourse is to disable the types of addons that commonly cause problems in IE (for security and usablility reasons some older addons that you may have used previously with IE8/XP are no longer compatible with newer versions of IE that you are now using)....
    The following instructions will stop your Toolbar and Browser Helper addons from loading in IE.
    Start>Control Panel>Internet Options>Advanced tab,
    uncheck "enable third-party browser extensions".
    close any open IE windows and restart IE for the changes to take effect.
    [GotaQ: Yes, did this but the problem then is that IE won’t open for me.  There is no icon in the start menu or task bar
    and routes such as using a command prompt or ‘run’ instruction don’t work.  When I try this I get a window on screen that flickers for a bit and then disappears.]
    Alternatively, your problem with keyboard input is most likely being caused by a form filling addon or a finger print reader
    addon? Note: some addons like the Google toolbar have multiple features like form filling, you can disable the GTB's form filling features from its settings dialog (click the 'spanner' icon on the toolbar)
    Use Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons to locate any such addons and use the Addons Manager to disable them. (close and
    reopen any open IE windows for the full changes to take effect).
    [GotaQ:  I tried disabling all of the add-ons in Google Chrome and the key-stroke mapping problem persisted, unfortunately!]

  • Can't run an applet with Internet Explorer for Windows

    I'm not sure this is the right news group, if not please direct me to the correct one.
    I have an applet at http://209.55.115.36/webfit/Instructions/instructio_list.php?section_id=1&instructionsPage=2 It works in various browser except internet explorer for Windows. I've tried it with IE on windows XP, 98 and ME. Here is what I do.
    1) I uninstall any copies of the Java Plugin.
    2) I install a new copy of the Java Plugin
    3) I test that I can see the Java Coffee cup in IE
    I try loading in my applet and I get a big grey spot.
    The applet works with all Mac Browsers, Netscape and Opera, but not IE. I don't get any error messages, just nouthing.
    Any pointers or thoughts would be helpful. I'm under a time crunch because I wanted to show it off at a trade show this weekend.
    -Gary

    HEY! I saw what you're talking about! I was working on my own stuff, and my applet said it loaded and init'd, but was still blank. The only difference was I had upgraded to the Plug-In 1.4.1 this morning. So I went back to version 1.4.0 and it worked perfectly again. Maybe that's what's happening to you. So ignore the link I just posted and go to this one:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html
    That'll let you download version 1.4.0 instead, and I'll bet you that one works. Let me know. Good luck!

  • Flash Player Freezing and Crashing Internet explorer and Google Chrome

    Hello,
         I have a dell xps 16 running on i7, windows 7 home premium 64 bit, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd. For at least a year i have been having problems viewing sites that use flash player such as youtube, and facebook. I orginally thought my anti virus was the problem because when ever I uninstalled it the flash began to work. I switched anti-virus programs about 3 times go from mcafee to kaspersky to avg 9.0 full...and it still would freeze up on me. Now it  has been 2 weeks since I uninstalled avg 9.0 and now it has started freezing up my internet explorer and chrome when ever i go to youtube or facebook. Also for some strange reasion it also is making some of my programs like pinnacle studios 14, itunes, and window media player unresponsive. Currently I have taken flash out of my computer. And i have to use my ipad to view youtube videos..but i still can not view flash. I have heard this has happended to many people on mulitple o.s. , Please help. I have tried reinstalling it and it says that instalation failed evertime. Ive also tried reinstalling my os with no success. I ve tried reseting my browsers and reinstalling them....no success.

    Hi a, I wonder what happened since it was working on 7/21/10. Then after you Installed AVG9 you started having problems, even after disabling the AVG add ons, etc.
    You have had this freezing issue for awhile and I don't know what is causing it, although cleaning up McAfee certainly helped and the Re-Install of Flash Player.
    I think the first thing you should do is go to the Kaspersky website and find out if there is an Uninstaller to use and use it if there is. Then I would go to AVG 9 and do the same. Then Reboot after using each one. That way you will have had a Clean Uninstall of both of them.
    Then go to Microsoft and Install Windows Defender. That way you would have some protection and that along with the Windows Firewall will help until we see what is causing this freezing and then you can Install AVG again.
    Also these: Dellweb cam central, informational alerts, dell data safe online, oovoo, fastaccess.. I wonder if any or a combination are conflicting. Have you had these for sometime or were any added about the time you started having issues? I am not familiar with them, but if they are in your system tray, I would guess they use Flash? I would try to disable them all at once, try your websites, especially youtube. If you have no problem, enable only one of those and test youtube again. Then enable another one and so on and if any are conflicting, you will be able to find the one.
    Thanks

  • Internet Explorer 11 & Windows 8.1 x64 strange behaviour

    Hi all
    I work in IT Department in an organization, we were running Windows XP and recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 x64
    Some of our users randomly face an issue with IE11.
    Whilst using IE11 the tabs would suddenly start flashing, out of place and ie becomes unresponsive (screenshots below). This issue occurs to different users, completely random. We suspected add-ons, graphics drivers and protected mode...nothing seems to
    be stopping the issue. The only way to end IE is through task bar, end task.
    any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Besides that, please also try to reset your Internet Explorer to check if it helps:
    1.Close all Internet Explorer windows that are currently open.
    2.Open the desktop, and then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar. Changing your settings will affect both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop.
    3.Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click Internet options.
    4.Tap or Click the Advanced tab, and then tap or click Reset.
    5.In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.
    6.When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, tap or click Close, and then tap or click OK. You'll need to restart your PC for these changes to take effect.
