    Irritating new events... I'm using IEPro 2.2. Tried to resolve it by uninstalling IEPro, performing advanced Reset on IE7, and the problem did go away. I then reinstalled IEPro2.2 and it has come back - but now only when I download, say, any installer programs. At the end of the download - IE7 crashes, just on completion, and immediately restarts. The downloaded installer program, by the way, downloads correctly - however, you cannot, of course select 'run' before starting the download, only 'save' because you lose track of it through the crash before it can run.

    This is a new problem for me. Previously, IEPro ran impeccably. I've just had my computer back from repair (new keyboard - and new secondary hard drive, after original failed). No evidence of any viruses. I have no plugins or addons that I didn't have before the trouble started. Latest Windows updates, perhaps? In which case it may eventually resolve through an IEPro update to catch up, I suppose...

    No big deal, since I mainly use Firefox, but still irritating. I'm wondering if anyone else is suffering?

    (Thanks Arie)

    Running Vista SP1 Business.

    I think you've answered your own question :) While it may have been compatible in the past it may no longer be so following updates to IE7.

    Thanks for that Peter... but while it it true that this is the most likely situation, I was wondering why nobody else seems to be reporting this on the boards afaics... Guess I'll just have to be patient (or uninstall IEPro - which'd be a pity, as it almost makes IE7 as good as Firefox) :D

    My mistake - I kept reinstalling a saved copy of ie7pro2.2, when the latest (since May!) is 2.3 - now all is working fine.

    Glad to hear that the latest version resolved the problem :)

    I have no idea how popular the program is, but it is rarely mentioned on the Board and your mention of it is certainly the first for many moons!

    internet exporer stopped working

    Yes mine stopped working too, although I use mostly Firefox anyway but it is annoying. Vista seems a lot buggier
    than XP. I also had both my DVDs quit working when somehow the drivers became corrupted.

    Another tack I guess - but, really - it's not so much that Vista is so buggy as that it requires driver updates that too many manufacturers/software suppliers seem unable or unwilling to provide. It's a shame that Microsoft is not riding this one out and seems to be rushing to get Windows 7 out, 'cos I think that Vista - once you've tweaked it to your own needs - is a fine OS.
