    Internet Explorer 7

    Hello guys/***s!

    For some odd reason everytime I open my browser "IE 7" it stop responding (hangs ups). Any thoughts? It doesn't matter what site I am on it just hangs up.


    Thanks

    This is typically caused by a wayward, or 2 or more conflicting 3rd-party BHOs. Fortunately, IE7 makes them easy to manage. BHOs (browser helper object) are also known as add-ons, and typically come in the form of added features (IEPro, IESpell, Java, Windows Messenger) and toolbars (Google or Yahoo Toolbars).

    There are two ways to approach this:

    1. Go to Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons and ensure Add-ons currently loaded in Internet Explorer is in the drop down menu, then disable each add-on one at a time. You should restart IE (close all sessions) after each change, then test.

    or,

    2. Reset IE7 by going to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Read what it says about Reset, then press button. If you need an add-on after that, it will be a fresh install with the latest version - AND only the minimum number of features needed.
