Internet explorer wont open.

When I try to open IE it just flashes for a breif secon and closes. There are no error messages.

Go to Start>Run and type in 'eventvwr.exe'. This should bring up the Event Viewer. Look for an error message there.

Why can't I get some of my Yahoo newsfeed stories to open but yet on Internet Explorer they open just fine?

I've tried to read some of the stories sliding across my screen but some just come up a blank page, but yet on Internet Explorer, they open up just fine. I've got the latest version of Mozilla also.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Setup system check says internet explorer is open when it's not

When I get to the setup screen (for the trial version of Illustrator), the first thing is system check. It says my internet explorer is open, and it's not. I've closed all programs that use internet including all of my antivirus and spyware, my vista sidebar, etc. I've opened task manager, gone into processes and tried to end the internet processes but they show up a second later. They just won't close! I've messed with my automatic startup programs, and that didn't work either. I've taken my ethernet cable out and tried that. Nothing works. Anybody know what's going on?

Does the performance tab of Task Manager show abnormally high CPU usage even when you have nothing running?
You might have some piece of malware doing nasty stuff. What's showing up as iexplore.exe in Task Manager is probably not Internet Explorer at all.
Update all your antivirus and spyware definitions and run thorough scans.
Do a Google search with keyphrase 'internet explorer constantly running,' and you'll turn up some discussions with links to malware removal tools.

I cannot get firefox to download to my computer internet explorer wont allow.

I click the download button it asks to run and save program button then nothing.It says something about internet explorer wont allow.

What kind of problem do you have when you try to access your email? What do you see or not see that is different from what you expect?
You said that Comcast can't fix the problem. Have you contacted their support? What did they say was the problem?

Internet explorer will open Automatically

Hi,
One of my user have windows vista Home basic- SP2. Internet explorer will open Automatically at 10:00 AM. i have block third party cookies and clear the Add-on's still it same issue. can you help me how to fix this issue.

Hi,
Start>Windows Update
review their Windows Update settings....
change to automatically install updates. Usually updates are installed once a month, but they may have scheduled WU to check daily...
or
Start>Task Scheduler... check for any scheduled tasks that run at that time.
a hint may be obtained by looking at what web address that IE is trying to open.
When asking internet related questions its helpful if you include the full address of any websites that you are having issues with.
Some web browser addons place entries in the Windows Startup list and are not disabled when you disable them from an IE Reset....
Home Versions of Windows do not have the MSConfig utility which you would use to disable windows startup items. You will have to manually look for rogue entries in the Registry....HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\current version
To test if there is a malware entry in the windows startup list...reboot the machine into Safe Mode with networking and leave it running overnight. If IE is running when you come in in the morning, then you know there is a malware item in the startup list...
Commonly the GoogleToolbarUpdater.exe may be running.... you may be able to see if its active in the Tasks Manager's Processes tab.

Internet Explorer cannot open url in local Windows network share

Windows Server 2012 R2 as a domain controller
Internet Explorer 11 64/32
Favorites are redirected to a Windows network share (on the server itself)
Issue: When clicking a favourite redirected to the Windows network share, IE does nothing.
For testing purpose,
I double click a .url file in redirected Favorites (e.g.
\\domain_controller\profiles\username\Favorites\website.url), IE opens with a blank page.
If the .url file is placed at local drive or a Samba share (e.g. in a Synology box, probably it does not really matter as long as it is a network share residing in another computer), IE works fine.
The issue applies to every one (probably except Administrator) logged on the domain controller.
I tried reset IE. It did not work.
Favourites redirection works on Windows 8.1 client computers in the domain.
Pinned Site Shortcut (.website) file works everywhere
When Enable Protected Mode in Internet Options\Security\Internet is disabled, IE can open .url file in a Windows network share. But it is probably not a good idea to permanently disable it.
Any suggestion on fixing the issue? Thank you.

tried ProcMon, the events captured are enormous even after I filtered out those I am sure do not matter. It was hard to spot what went wrong if I don't know what to look for.
Which is why I made the suggestion to filter coarsely and wait for a divergence in your two nearly equivalent traces.   <eg>
Otherwise, if you are only looking at one trace but think that there is a possibility that some diagnostics may have been written, filtering with
Operation Is WriteFile is often very handy.  With that filter you can also use the Count occurrences... tool for the number of distinct Path values which were involved.
In fact, now that I have reviewed the symptom description, filtering coarsely might also mean using only the File Access events and filtering with Path Contains Fav   Do that with each of your traces and see where there is a divergence.
Then turn the filter off at that point or perhaps just add Registry events at that point (e.g. use the button but leave your filter for Path in place). Etc.
Good luck

Since I updated Firefox, MySpace radio no longer opens. Internet Explorer will open the radio. Does Firefox block this Myspace feature?

Also, 'Help Menu' on Myspace won't open or appears in a very small space across the top of the screen. Editing functions e.g. 'Manage Videos' also does not work, but works fine in Internet Explorer.

It shouldn't be blocking Myspace. Could you try to clear the cache and see if that solves the problem? See this article for instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cache-delete-temporary-files-fix-issues?s=clear+site&r=5&e=es&as=s

Internet Browsers wont open web pages.

I have Windows 7 Home. None of my internet browsers (firefox,IE,chrome) will open any web pages. Was working fine the day before and now nothing. When you type in an address or search on the google tab it just thinks for a a while
then the address bar goes blank and nothing happens. Internet is connected and working fine by cable. Other computers on same network are working regular. Please help... did alot of searching on forums and nothing i have tried yet has worked.
Thank you.

Hi Biggy,
I agree Zigzag, the issue can be caused by one of the following factors:
a. Network connectivity issue or network-related issue such as DNS resolve.
b. Malware.
c. A conflict with firewall or a firewall configuration issue.
d. Third-party software or Internet connections settings issues.
e. Internet Explorer configuration settings.
f. Certain core Windows files are corrupted or missing.
Meanwhile, I would like suggest you try the solution from the link below about a similar case:

Internet Explorer 11 Opens new tabs every time I click a link

Recently I switch to using Internet Explorer 11 on my Asus T100LA. My issue is that every time I click on a link the window opens in a new tab instead of replacing the current tab. This is very frustrating when searching and navigating web pages since
it forces me to constantly click and close every tab that I don't need any more.

Internet Explorer is opening itself with blank pages

About two weeks ago, I was on my laptop when my buddy thought it to be funny when he started pressing a number of random keys on my keyboard. When he did this my computer screen froze and I had to restart the computer. When it came back on I tired to get
onto Internet Explorer. I opened it and it came up a blank page, and wouldn't let me put anything into the address bar and nothing but a white screen comes up.
Now two weeks later the Internet Explorer page is popping up on it's own and the page is still blank. Plus the pages are popping up about five at a time. This is become a very frustrating issue, especially since I just got this laptop a couple months ago.
Is there anything that I can do to fix this issue without having to take it somewhere? I'm not very IT capable, but I now normally enough to get through small issue, but not this time. Any help would be great!

Do you have other browsers, same issue were found on these browses or only IE was faced with this issue.
First run a security scan. If nothing was detected, reset IE for a test.
You can also go to Control Panel->Action Center->Troubleshooting->View All
Then choose Internet Explorer Performace in the list (it is not included in some windows versions). It will begin to fix you IE. if it doesn’t correct, please paste the diag repot here.
Check Event Viewer to find related error information.

Internet Explorer not opening?

To reset internet explorer 8....
1. Go to START
2. In the search bar, type INETCPL.CPL
3. On the advanced tab, on the bottom, there is a 'reset' button. Click there.
This will reset IE to factory settings and it will now work.

Tell us what they say. Thankfully, we're able to solve it by resetting IE, and it's not happening on all machines. It seems most prevaliant on IE8 with Windows 7 64-bit (in otherwords, newer machines).
Unfortunately, if you have this problem, you can't view this post unless you have an alternate browser (Firefox, Chrome), which makes it rather pointless to post - but hopefully, word will spread. Lots of lurkers here.

How do I set Firefox to work like Internet Explorer by opening tools and then putting url's into Internet Options

On the Internet Explorer I set up my Explorer to open to my Yahoo Mail account and a separate tab for Bing. Both open when I launch Explorer automatically.
How do I do this in Firefox?

Is this what you are talking about? <br />
