Multi-user IE7 Our Family PC is always on and all four of us are always logged in. Unfortunately only the first one to bring up IE7 can use it. If he or she leaves it up and we switch users, it won't come up in the other user. No error message either, it just hangs. If the first user quits IE7 the second user can bring it up but that's a HUGE pain. Running windos XP Media Center, on a 2GB/500GB Dell XPS 400. Already reloaded IE 7 from scratch.

Well, thanks for the suggestions but those are all mickey mouse ideas. Tried them all already. reinstalled IE7 from latest version, reinstalled OS from scratch. Firewalls and Antivirus disabled in all combinations and other "Protective" software all eliminated. Ran plenty of software to ensure no viruses/malware/spyware. C'mon, if you're going to help - can you at least recreate the problem? Of confirm that it works for you? The funny part is that I can't find any trace of this problem anywhere on the net.

Oh, and Firefox doesn't have the problem at all - that works fine.

Sorry, I was grumpy about the whole thing at the time. Thanks for recreating it, glad to hear it's a problem and not a design feature from Microsoft. I'll look at the group policies and maybe try reloading again. Thanks and sorry again for my grumpiness.

If it is a beta release of IE7, try to update with the latest patch. Download the latest version from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx Also try a different browser and see if the issue remains the same or not. Try and Disable Antivirus/Firewalls and check if it helps.Also run a Malaware/Spyware check. Hope it works out for you.

Startup problem

It all depends on which operating system you have
Reboot your computer. Press the "F8" key as it boots up, and continue pressing it until the Advanced Boot Options screen appears. Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" and press "Enter" to bring up a screen similar to this. Windows Advanced Options Menu Please select an option: Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt Enable Boot Logging
Enable VGA mode

Use the arrow keys to highlight your choice Type "exit" and press "Enter" when you're done to reboot the computer again and return to the normal Vista interface.

Click start Control Panel. Select "User Accounts and Family Safety," then "User Accounts." Click "Turn User Account Control on or off." Remove the check mark next to "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer." Click "OK." Set All Accounts to Administrator Still in the UAC section of Control Panel, select "Manage another account," and click on a user account. Click on "Change the account type." When working with multiple accounts, some changes can only be made if you and the account holder are both logged in with "Administrator" accounts so you need to change all user accounts to "Administrator." When you are done making changes, you can change them back to "Standard," but always leave at least one "Administrator" account.

What happens when you try to log in using a different browser? Try with Firefox or Opera. If you can get in, it's a problem with IE7.

I'm thinking IE7 may have some settings that have been improperly applied. I would try cleaning out temp files and your trusted sites list. Change security settings to Medium. Restart IE7.

IE7 Crashing

First off check and make sure all your settings in your browser are set to default. If that doesn't resolve the issue than go to your control panel to your add and remove programs. Check the "show updates" box. Starting with the last one first, remove IE updates. After each removing restart your pc and try surfing again.
When it stops crashing don't install that update. Another long shot is to click on removal of IE7 which will bring up a repair IE option. Finally, uninstall and re install. The process of elimation is all you have without us knowing more details. (PC brand, age, OS version, 3rd party software, harware configuration, etc)

Please try this. First, you should be logged in as administrator. (You probably are logged in as KIDS). Then please go to Start-Control Panel-User Accounts and Family Safety-User Accounts-Parental Controls-KIDS-Allow and Block Specific Programs. There you can choose the programs that can be used by users logged in as KIDS. This does not apply to the administrator (There are no restrictions.) Hope this helps. Thank you.

Goto windows update, and make sure you have the latest version of Microsoft .net framework.. (also any other service packs for ie7 that you don't have, along with security updates)

Most of those sites use the .net platform, and that may cause issues if it is not up to date.

Other then that, you might try to re-install IE7, or, revert back to Ie6
