IE 6.0 w/SP1 won't boot on WinXP
This is a discussion about IE 6.0 w/SP1 won't boot on WinXP in the Windows Software category; IE was working fine, then one day it wouldn't boot. When you left-click on the icon for IE, the hourglass pops-up for a couple of seconds then dies. No link inside of an e-mail will take me the Internet either.
IE was working fine, then one day it wouldn't boot. When you left-click on the icon for IE, the hourglass pops-up for a couple of seconds then dies. No link inside of an e-mail will take me the Internet either. I don't even see a window.
What I have done so far:
- My computer can contact WindowsXP Update from within the HELP portion of XP.
- I can ping my DNS Server, and MSN IM works along with a weather programs that gets information through the Internet.
- Reinstall of WindowsXP and IE 6 w/ SP1 no effect.
- Other computers on my home network can access IE except mine.
- I can connect to other computers on the network at home.
My Config:
Windows XP no Service Pack
IE 6 /w SP1
Cable Modem

Yes I am using a router and a 5-port hub. Two other computers on the same network using the same router are able to connect.
I installed WINXP the cheap way, over the top of the old copy. This has worked in the past wioth other things, but not this.

First thing, release the ip and try and different port to try and get a new IP.
Then Try
Second remove IE from the Add/Remove Programs Windows Components tab.
Reinstall it from the cd
IF that doesn't work try to repair the installation.

I found out that IE works in Safe Mode with Networking. So I stopped all my programs other than essentials using Task Manager and it worked in regular mode instead of Safe.
I think all I have to do is find out what is causing the conflict.
Does that sound right? I never had another program prevent IE from starting, weird.

Could be a number of services.
Running any popup blockers or antivirus?

I was running a pop-up blocker, removed that program.
Running anti-virus, I will try that next.
Thanks, for the help.
