Windows Vista [MS programs incl. IE will not open]

Welcome to WindowsBBS

We encourage all members to complete their System Specifications which help us to help you

At the very least we need to know which Operating System (XP, Vista or 7) you are running, which version of Internet Explorer (6, 7 or 8) and the version of Office would be helpful too.

It would seem that your issues may well be connected.

 

Hi BrendaFalcon. I saw in your System Specs that your running Windows Vista. Could you tell us what version of IE you are running as well as what version of Microsoft Office like Pete stated above?

Also it would be helpful if you could tell us what Vista Service Pack your running. To find what service pack you have installed click Start< Right click Computer and click Properties. When the properties window opens it will tell you what version of Windows Vista you are running and if you have a Service Pack installed then it will list that information as well.

 

And also please clarify .....

Do you mean a drive as it C:\, D:\, etc or a Folder, say Windows, My Documents (if that exists in Vista - never ran it), etc.

For the moment I am moving this to the Vista forum as the issue is not related to IE alone.

 

For a possible solution to your IE problem check the possible solutions in this MS KB article .......

Internet Explorer does not start or stops responding

Internet Explorer stops responding, stops working, or restarts

Let us know if you can resolve the IE problem - I suspect Malware - not all malware is detected by av's.
