IE7 Proccess runs but application doesn't always open

Benjo_2

Hi All

I have a problem where sometimes when double click the shortcut on my desktop for Internet Explorer 7 the application doesn't open but if I check the Windows Task Manager there is I Iexplorer process running. If I end this then IE7 opens fine

This seems to happen randomly, sometimes after I have already used IE7 and others when I first log on to the PC.

Has anybody got any ideas what is causing this? Although it is not a huge problem it is annoying.

The Laptop is free from Virus's, malware, spyware etc as far as the software I have are concerned.

You will probably find that IE is getting stuck when you close it down leaving the iexplore process running. What operating system are you using? Have you checked your event viewer for any errors?

The only thing that I think can be causing a problem if you have no spyware or malware is the phishing filter. Try turning this off and see what happens.
