Internet Explorer quits just after launch
Have a problem with IE quitting a few hundred milliseconds after launch. There is no error message. Just a brief flash of the IE window seen. Never (to my human senses) ever achieves zero transparency.
Windows 7 (USA version with IE there by default).
Have tried resetting from control panel.
Have tried turning off IE from , restart, turn on, restart.
It worked initially (it had to so I could download Firefox). Have not used it much since so dont have a good event to tie this failure to.

Not any of these. The sfc does the same thing. Flashes up then goes away. The netsh winsock reset runs but does not fix the problem. Already use Microsoft Security Essentials. Had it run a full scan. Nothing.

I never could figure out now to re-install IE, just turn it on or off. Microsoft Securty Essentials could not find anything wrong.
I had a disk image back from about a month before. Going to that "fixed" it although now I have to re-ninstall quite a number of programs (no data lost) and get preferences set up.

All good tries.Never could get any to work. Going back several weeks in a restore "fixed" it but lost a fair bit of time spent to finish re-installing what was added since the backup.
Thanks for the effort though. I might try to pursue it someday as I did back up the defective system's disk image.
