Answer 1

There are a lot of bugs in the IE7! It wasnt tested properly before being released in my opinion, I uninstalled mine coz it was casuing so many problems;

Answer 2

I for one have not had any problems with IE7, it loads up just like IE6 did, very smoothly, and great to use, with the added security incorporated in the new software,
all I can say is that download IE7 direct from Microsoft and not from any where else.
also make sure that there is no other program running at the same time as the download, to insure a better installation.
I never had IE6 on this computer I use, for I had to do a partial recovery and so everything got deleted, and when I re-started the computer it downloaded Microsoft updates with IE7 included. maybe this is the answer, delete IE6 but leave any updates, then install IE7 from fresh so you don't get a conflict between old and new components.

Answer 3

If I were you I'd uninstall IE7 and go back to the earlier version or Firefox. I don't know anyone who has had a successful and bug-free installation of IE7, and it's not even a radically improved interface. Join a big big club and ditch it!!

Answer 4

The best bet is to reinstall IE7. It should fix the problem. Otherwise, just chuck it and use Firefox.

Answer 5

well maybe you got a bug, lil virus, or just ie quit on you. just reinstall it and try to see if that works.

but if you reinstall it, you know how long it takes to download and install. so i'd rather just use firefox until you have spare time to reinstall it.

Answer 6

dont bother ie7 is cr#p. just make firefox your default browser and get the ie extension

Answer 7

Reinstall IE.
