Problems with Internet explorer 7
I am tring to fix Internet explorer 7 on a friends computer. The problem is that Internet Explorer does not open. I can see the process in the task manager after I click on it but it quickly disappears. the event viewer and the computer does not give me an error message. I have tried uninstallling Internet Explorer then reinstalling it but it still is not working. The next thing I tried to do was open Internet Explorer without add-ons but it still is not working. My firend has told me that Internet Explorer opens the first time but not after that. I wanted to use system restore but he did not have that turned on. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Try installing IE 8

I can't use IE 8 on our network yet there is a conflict with it and some of custom applications
Ok...install IE 8...see if it works (launches) ...then uninstall IE8 and reinstall IE7
What is your OS XP or Vista?
Is your system fully patched with latest SPs and other patches
Check your firewall settings too
Check this in your connection settings too...
--> Tools
--> Internet Options
-->Connections
-->Click on LAN SETTINGS
- ->Uncheck where it says use a proxy server for a LAN.....
--> Then check where it says automatically detect settings.
--> Click Okay
--> Restart your IE
