IE7 was working fine and then all of a sudden it will open blank for a second and then shut down. Good thing I have Firefox or I wouldn't be able to get on the internet. I have run spybot and scanned for virus but nothing. Don't know what to do. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still won't open. help!

Try opening it with no add-ons - from 'Programs/accessories/system tools/IE no add-ons'. If that works then reset IE by going through Control Panel/Internet Options/Advanced & click on the 'reset' button - it will reset IE to its default settings and allow you to enable add-ons as required & see which one's messing up.

Don't tell us how you fixed it. Why would we want to know that?
