IE problems...

[articeine]

Well, I'm having this problem where I can use anything connected to the internet, just not IE. I've got IE7 and it was working fine until last night. Now when you try to open it, it doesn't even try to connect, it just freezes up right away. I've been searching for options and somewhere I read to try it without add-ons, and it works... so that would mean there's an add-on that's messing it up, correct? I just don't know how to tell which one. Any way to figure it out?

How would I go about doing that? I figured everything out except the posting it part.

Well that looks good so far.

Which addon is giving you issues?

 

[articeine]

Ehh, that's the problem. I have no idea. I mean, I supose it could be a problem with something else, but I figured since I can run it without add-ons and not with, it's probably an add on that's screwing with it. I can screenie it and show you the add-ons if that might help.

Actually, it'd have to be 2 screenies :/ is there any other ideas you've got? I mean, if you'd rather me not post 2 screenies.

I mean, it all looks like stuff that should be there... some stuff from Symantec, Skype, Java, Windows, etc... nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[Osiris]

What you can try:

1. Disable all addons
2. Disalble one addon at a time
3. Reinstall IE7
4. Upgrade to IE8
