Internet explorer 7 in Vista
Finally got my "EXPRESS" upgrade to windows Vista. Installed and almost everything works ok. Could not get Internet explorer 7 to open. It kept telling me that there was an error and needed to shut down and microsoft would contact me when a solution was available.After RT clicking and selecting RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR IE 7 would open ok. Once opened I went into internet options/security and unchecked the box that said ENABLE PROTECTED MODE and it will open normally by clicking on the icon. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem, and if someone new a bit more about it. My Internet Explorer 7 is working but it says PROTECTED MODE:OFF. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. D.J.Leathal.

Kool, Thanx i'll give that a try.- It sounds like the problem I was having when I opened my new PC in the beginning.I solved it by uninstalling Google Toolbar (which is totally unnecessary!) but is already installed by Dell into IE.I tried to get help from Dell for 3-4 days - they couldn't come up with anything that worked.Hope this will help.Trine
- I have the same problem. I do not have any toolbar installed and under "internet options" > "security" tab I had the "enable protected mode" checked but then my status bar is still showing "protected mode: off" I've tried reseting Internet Explorer to default but it's still the same. If i unchecked the enable protected mode, the information bar will warn me that the protected mode is turned off. The only good thing after i checked the box is the information bar is gone but the status bar still shows the mode is off. Any ideas?
- I've been running IE with protected mode off for several weeks, as I do not like the performace with it on.For your changes to take affected after enabling Protected Mode you must close Internet Explorer and restart it. You can also enable/disable Protected Mode at the bottom right side of Explorer Window where it says Protected Mode On/Off by double clicking the area. Did ou restart IE after making your changes?Inspiron 1501, TL-50, 2gig ram

Hi,I could not open IE 7 on windows vista. IE was fine when I just got this computer around three weeks ago. But now, when I tried to open IE 7, a pop up window displayed two options - one is clicking to find solution and the other is to close program. The first option did not help. I called Dell and was told to visit the forum to get help. My network was working becase I was able to log in MSN messanger and Skype.Anyone has a solution for my problem?Thanks in advance.
