| 691305 | 2008-07-23 00:06:00 | Upgraded a friend's brand new Asus laptop with XP Pro to SP3, but realised half-way through the install that I hadn't installed IE7. Everything seemed fine initially, but now whenever I try to browse to another website from the homepage (friend set it to xtra.co.nz), IE7 encounters a problem and has to close. I uninstalled IE7 (noticed it was only showing on add/remove as 2 Mb?) and IE6 works fine. Re-installed IE7 and the problem re-appeared. Am I right in thinking upgrading IE after SP3 was a bad thing? Should I uninstall SP3, then install IE7 followed by SP3 again? :help: :p |

| 691306 | 2008-07-23 00:10:00 | It could be an addon for IE 7. What addons are installed (like google toolbar etc). Addons can also crash IE7. Disabling it or uninstalling whatever, should fix it I dont think it matters what you install first (IE 7 or SP3), IE 7 shouldnt crash |

But anyway... :D I've found occasional issues trying to install IE7 post Sp3 - it's safer to install it before. And get rid of any toolbars/addons etc, and reset to defaults if it continues to fail. |

| 691308 | 2008-07-23 00:31:00 | Ok the plot thickens . . . . . He had his homepage set to . yahoo . com/ - I changed the homepage to http://www . google . co . nz," target="_blank">nz . yahoo . com/ - I changed the homepage to http: restarted IE7 and no problems . Browsed from this new homepage to www . stuff . co . nz no problems . Browsed back to . yahoo . com/," target="_blank">nz . yahoo . com and then any other page I try to browse to causes the crash . So can I conclude that there's something in http://nz . yahoo . com/ that is causing the issue? :D |

| 691309 | 2008-07-23 00:34:00 | Does it show the name of a file when it crashes?? If it does thats the culprit |

| 691311 | 2008-07-23 01:15:00 | Have you updated flash player? When I tried to update Flash, the active-x control runs, but then I get a box saying 'unable to authenticate installer' and I can't get any further. :badpc: |
