SYMPTOMS

When Windows Internet Explorer 7 includes an add-on, Internet Explorer may exit immediately.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if an add-on conflicts with Internet Explorer.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, start Internet Explorer with add-ons disabled. To do this, click Start, click Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

If you start Internet Explorer with add-ons disabled, you may find that this resolves the issue. Then, you can locate and disable the add-on that conflicts with Internet Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Manage Add-ons, and then click Enable or Disable Add-ons.
3. In the Manage Add-ons dialog box, click an add-on.
4. Under Settings, click Enable, and then click OK.
5. Restart Internet Explorer.
   

If the problem occurs, the add-on that you recently enabled conflicts with Internet Explorer.

1. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until you locate the add-on that conflicts with Internet Explorer. Then, disable the add-on.
