regpye

I am trying The World Browser and so far it hasn't given any problems and looks very simialr to IE (some parts I like better) I haven't uninstalled IE7 as yet, because of all the programs that it;s removal will affect.

Thanks for that info Sampson. I tried removing IE7 but there were so many programs that would be effected by its removal I thought I should leave it alone. I will try the other browser and see if the problems are eliminated.

Can anyone tell me how to remove IE7 and go back to IE6, I never had this problem until I made the upgrade.

Yes I have tried running SFC /Scannow, it is available in XP too. Found no errors, problem still persists.

New development: I didn't notice this before, but when in Google mail and using the search funtion within the mails, no problem, but if I try and search the web I get an error message and then IE7 crashes and clears off the screen. Runtime error! Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexploer.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I have bought several spyware removal programs and tried them, all traces of spyware are reomoved from the system and are now stopped on entry. The behaviour of IE7 has been around for several weeks now, after a Windows update I think. The main problem is that clicking on a link to go to the next page or an external link within a page often crashes IE7 without any warning or error display (just clears off the screen) Other times it will freeze and I am unable to do anything except bring up Task Manager and try and clear IE7 from memory (there seems to be several instances of it running at one time) I wonder if there is a way to remove IE7 and re-install it? My machine has 4G of ram, so that shouldn't be an issue.

When I click on a link within most web pages, IE7 will freeze and I am unable to do anything with IE after that. I also found that right clicking in directories with Explorer can also cause a freeze. Done a virus scan check and also checked the registry for errors and seems to be clean.
