google toolbar. will look at java site. FYI-my desktop also does it, but haven't loaded IE7 in that yet as I seldom use the desktop.

jephree-

Downloaded the java again.

I appreciate all you've done & am OK with the way it is unless/until there are repetitious crashes. Spend your precious time with others who are more critical.

Thx again!

No problem. We are here to help.

I find it interesting that the same behavior is on two different computers.

Do they both have Google Toolbar? If so you might try removing that.

Another curiosity would be again try start Run... regsvr32 urlmon.dll

you beat me to it before I could tell you - regsvr32 urlmon.dll‏
worked this time, but others didn't.

regsvr32 msjava.dll ?

nope. "specified module cannot be found"

Are you familiar with the registry and editing it?

If not do not edit it but try to look here:

start Run... regedit

Click the + to expand as you go:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_ LOCKDOWN

Once there:

Click Iexplore.exe

Look at Value data

Is it 1 or 0?

0x00000001 (1)

That is the Default.

Some suggest when having issues opening links to change this value to (0).

If you choose to do so do not forget where you did it so you can undo it but more importantly backup your registry before ever editing it.

ERUNT is a great tool for backup:

ERUNT and NTREGOPT

Wow - that is one loaded site! With everything on it, couldn't find the ERUNT download....
