Internet Explorer won't load

Vista Business

This is strange. IE 7 will not load.

Frankly, I don't know whether this is new, as I've used
Firefox since acquiring this laptop. Various online
comments seem rather confused...

??

PS - I don't want to switch to either a PDP-8 or Ubuntu

Try this:

Right-click on the IE shortcut icon and select the Start without add-ons
option. You can then manage which add-ons are enabled, in Tools | Manage
Add-ons, after you've started IE7.

The "start without add-ons" option doesn't appear. ???

It's a computer, so no one can be sure of anything. But
unless I've gone blind, or I don't know where to look,
there is NO SUCH OPTION.


You sure?

Did you right click the IE shortcut icon on your desktop?

Yes

That generates a context menu as expected, but Start
Without Add-ons is NOT on that menu.

Thanks.

The recommendation is to UNINSTALL and REINSTALL. Well,
it appears that IE is tightly integrated with Vista, so
that might be a little difficult. I found an IE7 install
package, but it's clearly marked for XP.

Perhaps install the 8 new beta over it? Or IE6 and live
without 7?

Lon,

Click Start, and then type Internet Explorer in the Start Search box.
Click Internet Explorer "No Add-Ons" at the top of the window.
