Windows 7 Internet Explorer doesn't open (no error shown)
With the latest set of updates, around 4-5 days ago, a new problem developed which I haven't seen discussed anywhere. Internet explorer doesn't load up when I click on it's icon. The hard disk clunks but no explorer window appears. No error is displayed. Very odd. Very occasionally it does load up, perhaps once a day, but then stops loading again after a few minutes. Anybody got an idea what's happening?

Based on my known, a corrupt add-on could cause the problem. I have following suggestion.
Run IE without Add-ons
=============================
1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
2. Visit website in this IE and test the issue. .
If still cannot be run, please try to run it as administrator.
Hope it helps.

Re: Satellite L500 - Internet Explorer doesn't open
Hi,
I have a Satellite L500, which is a new one with Windows 7 home premium configured.
When I logged in for first time, every thing worked perfectly and I was able to browse internet. After shut down, next day I tried to login and tried to open IE, I was not able to open IE. IE is not opening. Also, Windows media player is also not opening.
I recovered Windows 7 once more. But the above happened again.
Please any one help me ASAP.
Regards,
AnoopHi,
Thank you for the reply.
1) Do you get an error message if you try to open Internet Explorer or do nothing happen?
*no error message happens when i clicked on IE*
2) Have you also tried another browser like Firefox?
*Firefox also not opening*
3) Did you install any software after recovering Windows 7?
* Yes I installed nero9 after recovering Win 7*
* I un-installed that, but still IE and FF not opening*
4) Did you use the HDD recovery or how did you exactly recover Windows 7?
*I reoved using the recovery DVD's which I created*
Please let me know your comments

Unable to save PDF - Internet Explorer Protected Mode "A file error has occurred"
Hi,
I hope you can all assist! Here's the detail:
Reader XI (11.0.06) and deployed as physical installation (.msi)
Windows 7 x64 Enterprise
Internet Explorer 8 & 9
Opening PDF's from HTTP & HTTPS locations
Users are unable to save the PDF file to their chosen location (network share or local directory) "A file error has occurred".
When the Internet Explorer Protected Mode is switched off, users are able to save the file to their chosen location.
Is this is specific functionality of IE Protected Mode whereby the ActiveX control is being restricted.
Is this due to Enhanced security within the Adobe Reader 11.0.06 application?
Our current Reader version (9.3.0) is able to save files from unprotected locations, so this is creates a problem justify upgrading.
Do anyone have any suggestions?
Look forward to any assistance or suggestions.
Thanks,
Simon.Hi Simon,
How are you saving the file (right click or from File menu)? Does the problem happen with any PDF file? Does the problem go away if you turn "Enable Protected Mode at startup" from Reader (Preferences > Security (Enhanced)? -
Internet Explorer won't open since installing Creative softw
I was asked to look at a friend's PC because she is having trouble since installing the software that came with her Creative Zen MP3 player.
Whenever we tried to open Internet Explorer, Microsoft Frontpage opened with a message about installing softwatre (Frontpage extensions?) though I don't think she has Frontpage on her PC.
I managed to get it back to normal by the use of a System Restore but then the fault reappeared after reloading the Creative software and we had then lost that System Restore point (should have saved a new one!).
I did see something with a GOOGLE search which seemed to indicate that others had this problem but could not get the full details as the message had disappeared.
I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to get Internet Explorer back.

Internet Explorer is here.
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
What happens when you try to execute iexplore.exe from there?
If it doesn't appear to open, start Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc). On the Processes tab, sort them by name and see if iexplore.exe is listed.
If you've done Windows updates, you probably have v11.

Internet Explorer will not open web pages - refers to Domain Name Server missing or Error 403 (Forbidden) h30155.www.hp.com
very frustrating. can you tell me what settings i need to change?y2ken wrote:
You can try the Firefox web browser to see if you can then connect. Firefox is a better, faster, more secure browser anyway and will prompt you to transfer all your Favorites from IE.
Firefox Download
or
Try the free Fix IE utility.
FixIE Utility
or
You can try uninstalling IE8 then reinstalling it.
Uninstall IE8
I would take 'Y2ken's' advice and try Firefox. I have used it for years with XP Pro and Ubuntu, Linux. It definitely is more responsive. Most of what is in IE8 was developed in FF several years ago. FF was the first browser with tabs, for instance.

Some sites needs Internet Explorer and doesnt open in Safari!!!
Hello,
There are couple of sites that doesnt open in Safari and the messege I get is : The TIBCO General Interface product requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v. 6.0 or greater.
The website is http://www.dsm.com.qa/dsmsite/ And then click on Love Quotes.
Please help me with it.
Thank you!!!Hi,
As Tom says, the website is geared towards Windows Internet Explorer users only.
The only 2 options you have are to:
1. Send them feedback about the problem to http://www2.dsm.com.qa/dsm/DSM_ContactUs and hope they eventually increase their compatibility with other systems.
2. Run VirtualPC so that you are effectively running Windows on your Mac (or simply buy a cheap PC).
Sorry it's not better news. -
Windows Internet Explorer 7 has a Favorites feature that Firefox does not have?
The feature which I will like to see in Firefox is the ability to type a first letter of the Bookmark that I want to get to in the listing.
In Windows Internet Explorer 7 favorites listing, I can easily reach the part of my favorites list by typing the first letter of that part of the list I wish to reach. Obviously this makes this easier than having to scroll down to the part of the list I want using Firefox Bookmarks.Cor-el:
I know you're trying to help, but your not being clear. I don't know what you are talking about. For example: How do I open the Bookmarks in the sidebar? Where is the sidebar? How do I get to the sidebar?
Look, let me be helpful to you in your efforts to help me and others who have this question. What you need to do is tell us step by step what to do. For example, say you were telling us how to open up the Firefox browser. Here's an example of proper instructions:
1. Press Start on your computer.
2. Look for the Firefox Icon in the left panel and click on it.
3. That will start the Firefox browser.
Look, that's a simple example which, I'm sure, everyone can relate to. What's important is that you see what I mean by giving proper instructions.
Remember Cor-el, some users do not have your level of understanding. So, you may have to assume you're talking to someone who is sort of brand new to this browser.
Thanks for replying anyway. -
Internet Explorer 11 not opening iframes after KB3032359 update
Basically: Internet Explorer 11 not opening iframes(src is same program folder) after KB3032359 update. (Chrome or Firefox opens all iframes)
We have web solution on Windows 2008 .NET 4 version, wroten C# (Visual Studio 10). Program has left side menu (Panels, menu items have link button, link buttons onclick methods in .cs file. Onclick methods change center iframe source location. ( frm_center.Attributes.Add("src",
"page2.aspx") )
Microsoft publish some updates 11.03.2015 date. One update is (MS15-018 - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (3032359) - Critical - Remote Code Execution) for IE11 security fixes. Including one fix for iframe freaks.
After installed this update (Windows 7 Professional 64 bit) IE11 opening our web solution site, after login everything is ok (head section, left menu, center iframe are correct), but when clicking some item in left menu, iframe is not changing source location.
(1 day ago IE is ok, no problem).
Have idea for this iframe problem ?We have noticed similar change in behavior with KB3032359.
Here is one such scenario where it is broken starting with this patch. It looks like plugins are no longer able to access various javascript objects when in compatibility mode.
Two things to start with:
1. The site is in compatibility mode
2. The Adobe SVG plugin is installed and being used.
The actual issue is in an much more complicated application that must be run in compatability mode with the Adobe SVG Plugin.
But here is the issue boiled down:
=================== test.html
===================
<HTML>
<script>
document.write('<frameset cols="50%,50%,0">');
document.write(' <frame id="test1" name="test1" src="javascript:false">');
document.write(' <frame id="test2" name="test2" src="javascript:false">');
document.write('</frameset>');
d = new Date() ;
window.frames['test2'].location ="test2.html?" + d;
</script>
</HTML>
=================== test1.html ===================
<body
bgcolor=green>
Expected test1
</body>
=================== test2.html ===================
<script>
function notify(evt){
alert(evt.target.id + " should now change frame 1 to test1.html") ;
parent.frames.test1.location.href = "test1.html" ;
</script>
<body
bgcolor="000077"
text="FFFFFF">
<embed
src="test2.svg"
width="100%"></embed>
test 2, has a SVG that calls back to this page, and causes frame 1 to change to test1.html
</body>
=================== test2.svg ===================
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="100%" height="100%">
<ellipse onclick="parent.notify(evt)" id="svgOval"
cx="25%"
cy="25%" rx="24%"
ry="24%" fill="#000099" stroke="FFFFFF"/>

I installed the new version of iTunes today. It's 12.1.1. After completing the installation, including restarting my computer, I was no longer able to use Windows Internet Explorer. Has anybody else experienced this? If so, how did you fix Explorer? I was using Explorer 11 and Windows 7, installed on an HP Pavilion g series
Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

How can I get Windows Internet explorer on my MacBook air?
I have several websites that I need to use for my new job that have not been tested for Mac. I don't want to have to buy a PC laptop, so I was wondering if there is a tried and true way to get windows Internet explorer on my MacBook air.
Or install Parallels 7 and then you can run IE just like any other app from within OS X itself. That costs around $50 plus the Windows license though.
Personally I have created an IE9 RDP (remote) App on my terminal server at work and just run that. Looks like it is running on my Mac natively. -

Alignment bug in Windows Internet Explorer
Im trying to get a silly blog off the ground; I get it to display fine in Safari; Mac/Windows Firefox......but there is usually a major format bug in Windows Internet Explorer. The column on the left wants to keep shifting to the center. Can't find the cause. Any solution? Thanks;-)
(or let me know if I managed to fix it)
http://www.helpwithfrench.com/nitwit/Myblog/Blog/Blog.html
thanks again;-)I do use iweb enhancer and massreplacit for additional code in the head and elsewhere, hmm , I'll check into that possibility.
Of course it comes out fine on every other browser. Meantime; in iweb, the left column is placed exactly on the left edge. So Im stumped. Should I shift left, right, toward the center?? I could shift both columns to the right; so the left is in the center, and the right is on the far side; but then they might still tend to bleed over one another...hmm
thanx
I'll be checking the massreplacit 'post processing' as you say;-)
