I've been having tons of problems with IE hanging or
crashing....but now it won't even start. I sometimes get a
blank page and then it shuts down but other times I get a
flash and then back to the desktop. I've read the "help"
pages (on my work computer since my home one has the the
problem) but most involve messing with REGEDIT....pretty
daunting stuff! I keep my virus DAT files up to date & run
a full Norton weekly so I doubt it's a virus. HELP!!
 
Hi,
This is probably being caused by third party programs such as spyware and
parasites.

From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." That may allow IE to work.
You should re-enable browser extensions after the cleanup.

You might also be able to browse and download programs from the address bar
of Windows Explorer.

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.
