For people having trouble getting IE7 to work

try uninstalling Google toolbar or any other browser add-on. Worked for
me.... Good Luck

 

The situation concerning toolbars and other add-ins is described in the
Release Notes to Internet Explorer 7 on Microsoft's website.

A 'best practice' for installing software, established in the days of
punched cards, is to review the author's ReadMe or Release Notes before
installing.

 

Microsoft actually does describe what is included in its updates, and
provides links for more information. And it's not like Internet Explorer
7 was a big secret until now.

Nevertheless, your point is well taken. I wrote to another poster that,
in my opinion, a major upgrade to the operating system should not be
automatically downloaded. There is just too much preparation that's
needed before you can successfully upgrade your system.

 

I reinstalled latest google toolbar from the google site, am running IE7
fine now.
(I removed it via add/remove in control panel, rebooted, then went to web
site to reinstall).
