Hey computer savvy individuals... |
|
I just spent 15 miuntes trying to get my IE to stay up. Can you explain to me why IE would just at random keep closing? I restarted five times. My pop up blocker kept going off on yahoo mail, which is my home page, and then my window would close. I ran ad aware, ran scan disk, ran antiviral program...nothing. Am I just crazy? Duckie

Oops -- I see you already tried Ad-Aware. It still seems like the likeliest answer. Update it if you haven't recently and try running it again. You might have a go at Spybot as well.

4. kill your popup blocker |
|
Then try again. My guess is that your popup blocker forgot to take it's ritalin. Turn down the sensitivity.

if that doesnt work reduce your security settings - if that doesnt work try restoring a couple of days back - if that still doesnt work make sure your temp internet files are emptied - still stuck??? the old re install of windows. Plus - if you know the make and model of your hard drive you can go to their site and they will probably have a diagnostic program you put on disk and then run it so it can check the hard drive - if you have blip in it could cause all this. good luck

Change your home page, and temporarily disable your popup blocker. Restart and see if it works better.
After that - if it's still there you could try to re-install IE altogether. You may have a file on your HD called ie5install.exe or ie6install.exe . These will do the whole reinstall of IE.
Make sure you do to the Microsoft site for IE security updates and OS patches as soon as you get reconnected.
