Hi All

Anyone know what I may have switched on that make it, when I click to go to a web site using IE7 it just pulls it plug and shuts IE7 down.

Only started doing this after I had reload all the software.

That would probably be the point where you started using IE7.

Maybe you have an incompatible plugin? Or maybe Flash is corrupt?

Sounds like a plugin problem. Alternatively, there was a problem a while back in which the dll that handled the tabs was old/corrupt/something to that effect and that made IE7 close when tabs were used. Reinstalling it from a microsoft.com source should hopefully sort it.

sounds like IE7 is the problem.

I thoroughly dislike IE7: On my current machine, it simply won't save any of its settings correctly - change settings, press OK... restart IE, and voilà, they're gone

Since ClearType gives me a major migraine, I just cannot use IE7, even if I wanted to; it simply defaults to having CT back on. I shouldn't have to exert any extra effort to get it to work correctly, so I'm seriously not going to bother. It should just work. But it doesn't

Same happened to me and firefox 1.x with profiles, kept on crashing and reloading an old ( i assume, default or backup ) profile and thus wouldn't retain my settings. Seems ok in 2.x though. During that period I resorted to using Opera (eek), and obviously IE7 when it was released.
