Internet Explorer won't function

[SusieEff]

When Internet Explorer quit functioning (It tries to open, but just hangs
there), I downloaded it again. It works for a while, then repeats the same
thing. I have downloaded it several times always with the same results. Can
anyone tell me what to do to take care of this? Thanks.

if you mean that you click on the icon and get a bit of disk activity
but nothing happens, then i had that problem until i uninstalled
google tool bar, so try that
good luck

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode?

To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No
add-ons).

2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?

3. If you uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) and do not
reinstall it, does this behavior persist?

Thank you for all of this info. Something should work. I am now away from
that computer so I will have to try these suggestions later. It is actually
my husband's computer, but he doesn't know how to look for help! Thanks
again.
