I've downloaded and installed IE 7 thinking this will work but hasn't. Also,
all cookies, files, histories are all deleted. Any other suggestions, please
advise.

Hi Zo
I don't know why you installed this beta stuff - are you are tester and do
you have a spare computer to test on.
I fear your problems may have just started - it is in most cases, very
difficult to revert back to IE6.
May I suggest you look in the below for your help - they are for IE7,
whereas you are in XP.basics newsgroup.
Good luck - the moral is 'if its beta, better leave it alone'

No i'm not a tester, I was trying to fixed the IE issue by just uninstalling
it and installing IE7. Didn't think too much of the name but I guess I should
have. Thanks for the direction though. I think I have an idea of a fix from
in there so we'll see how that goes. Thanks though.
 
I wish you every success - and keep away from MS beta progs - they should
come with a health warning - like 'installing this can kill your computer'

Yes, but that has nothing to do with *MS* beta programs in particular. It's
the nature of beta software, regardless of who the manufacturer is.

Ken, thank you for correcting me and qualifying my error.

You're welcome, but it was more in the nature of a clarification than a
correction. What you said wasn't wrong.
 
Hi,
Your problem is probably being caused by a third-party program, toolbar, BHO
(Browser Helper Object) or other add-on to Internet Explorer. I would
uninstall IE7 beta, then try to find the troublemaker.

Start by uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar if it's listed in Add or remove
programs. It can cause trouble on some systems.

[XP SP2] From IE> Tools> Manage add-ons. Disable one or two add-ons, at a
time, to identify the culprit.

Toolbar Cop from http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/Toolkit.htm can help identify
and remove add-ons, BHOs, etc.

Disable (for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers,
security, toolbars and other add-ons for IE, anti-virus, etc. Take a look at
any program that might be interfering with IE. You may have to reconfigure,
reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.

*** Important... Turn on the Windows Firewall (from Control Panel or
Security Center) before disabling a third-party firewall.

This might be a malware problem (adware, spyware, trojan, etc.)

I have this same problem with IE6 only my laptop (XP/SP2 Pro) -- The only
realtime solution I have found is to click on the IE6 screen before it dies.
Then it does not quit. I have not found any other solution to it.
