[SOLVED] Cannot browse to some webpage with IE7

set · 05-23-2008, 11:40 AM

I am experiencing precisely the same problems as WrenAndStimpy, other than that I have no issues with Firefox. Here is the text file you requested of her:

# Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a "#" symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
#
127.0.0.1 localhost

The problem is not solved for me. Help, please! :)

BTW, my operating system is:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3,v.3264

Thanks!

Hi set, welcome to TSF...

Hope you don't mind but i've moved your posts to their own thread as the thread you have posted on its marked as 'solved'. You are much more likely to receive help this way.

**nickster_uk** · 05-23-2008, 12:22 PM

Do you still have problems accessing the sites when you temporarily disable your firewall?

set · 05-23-2008, 01:10 PM

Yes. Interesting that Firefox works fine; IE7 crashes, eh?

**nickster_uk** · 05-23-2008, 04:35 PM

When you say crash, does IE just appear to stop or do you actually get an error message?

set · 05-23-2008, 09:04 PM

It's inconsistent. Sometimes, IE will remain open, but most times, it'll close immediately upon opening. For example, when I read your question, I was in IE and tried to login and IE closed. (I am posting from Foxfire right now.)

Absolutely every time I open a favorite, IE crashes. All my cookies and history have been deleted (intentionally, by me, hoping that might be the problem).

Thanks. I tried this "reset IE" feature, and I'm experiencing the same problems.

Any other ideas? Must I reformat my drive, and reinstall everything?

no

what webpages are you having trouble with

set · 05-25-2008, 05:29 AM

All webpages. Inconsistent -- sometimes a webpage will open fine (i.e., microsoft.com); other times, it will open, but when I click a link, it will close; other times, it will open for a minute or two and then (without my input) close the application.

I have work to do, and I've been working with this problem for 5 days -- I'm afraid I'll have to reformat and start over (which I've never done). What a pain.

I finally gave up, reformatted the drive, and reinstalled Windows XP, but only with SP2. I have not reinstalled IE7, hoping not to get the same problem. Oh, well...

Thanks for the help, anyway.
