Internet Explorer 7

tash_edwards89 — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 13:01:54 GMT

Hi,

Everytime I start up my Internet Explorer it quickly flashes up with a Windows Installer window and says 'Preparing to install...'

I have unistalled IE7 and reinstalled it but it is still doing the same. It was working fine yesterday until I installed Office 2007. Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening as it is really starting to annoy me!!!

Tash!

Hi Tash,

There is a possibility that Office 2007 has an add-in for IE that is causing a problem. The usual one is ‘Send to Bluetooth’.

In Internet Options have a look at Programs tab > Manage Add-ons and try disabling one at a time and then re-start the application.

Hi,

I have found many things that are Office based (mainly Groove) but even when disabled this doesn't appear to work!

Many thanks for you help

Try running Microsoft Office Diagnostics – Start > All Programs > MS Office > MS Office Tools

Ran that and only one problem occured that it corrected. Still not a solution to my problem though!!!

In that case I suggest you try rolling back to IE6 and see whether all works ok....

No such luck!!
IE6 has just the same issues.
I have now gone bac to IE7 and tried the No Add Ons version and it still does it so Add Ons don't seem to be the issue.
When running in Safe Mode it is doing this.

The answer may be to reinstall Office but just try this first:

Uninstall Google Toolbar
Uninstall Earthlink Total Access

See if this cures the problem.

If you use these then reinstall 'Google Toolbar plus Earthlink' and hope for the best.

Still no success.
I was thinking about it yesterday and I remembered I breifly installed FireFox onto my system, but it has since been uninstalled. Could this also be a possibility for the installer window popping up all the time?

Is IE set as your Default Explorer with Full Access rights go to Start > Set Program Access & Defaults under Custom Settings apply tick to IE as default & allow access then OK

Have you got any other Web Browsers installed ,The install comes up with install it the defaults & access are set wrong going into internet options & setting it default there a good idea as well i also reccommend doing a Reg scan to get rid of any extra access keys in your registry i recommend using CCleaner & give it a good seeing to.

I agree.

Have you by any chance installed anything (other that Office 2007) that may possibly be blocking changes to the registry – Ad-Aware SE for example or a new anti virus program?
