| I had a similar problem, but it works if you open IE with add-ons disabled. For this reason, I believe it is an addon not working. You can open IE with addons disabled by going to start > all programs > accessoried > system tools > Internet Explorer (No Add-ins) I also noticed that I only had this problem in the user account. With an "administrator" account it seems to not lock up. -- Robert Firth "MG" wrote: Quote:

| Try uninstalling and disabling the Java 1.5 plug-in. This is just a guess, but it is a well documented issue with Vista. -- Mark My favourite so far: Unknown device has been correctly installed. "MG" <scorpion___g@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:em1zmxorGHA.2464@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... I don't recall when this became a problem, possibly after an update as recent as last weekend, but now IE7+ only works by right clicking and clicking on the context menu "Run as an Administrator. " If I just click on an icon for Internet Explorer the OS hard locks. Also, any OS calls to IE7+ gives the same result. For example, a gadget in the sidebar displaying feed as clickable object to open Internet Explorer hard locks, clicking an icon that comes with the OS on the desktop to take you to an online Vista tour hard locks the OS. This problem has been widely reported, but I have not seen any suggestions for a fix. Has anyone ever had this problem and have they seen any fix? | Guest
