mudmanc4 Posted September 10, 2008 CID Share Posted September 10, 2008 what the hell, ie is running w/ no addons, not by my request, they say that they are enabled in the properties. The last i i had this issue, all I could do to solve the issue, is delete the current ie application, Now, ie doesnt even have an option to delete , wtf ?

Sequoia Posted September 11, 2008 CID Share Posted September 11, 2008 mudmanc4; I haven't had this problem .This is with IE7 on Vista HP. Would you let me know where in "properties" it shows addons are enabled ? See if this fixes it. In the Start/Programs list.Probably under Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools. There should be two IE shortcuts.One like this: Internet Explorer ( no Add-ons) The other just :Internet Explorer Right click both and select properties. In the image below The left side should be the one for just :Internet Explorer The right side should be the one for Internet Explorer ( no Add-ons) It has the extra -extoff in Short cut /Target. If the just :Internet Explorer has the -extoff remove the -extoff & apply. If that's not it try in IE Tools/Manage Add-ons/Enable or Disable Add-ons Then enable the add-ons you want enabled in the list. If none of that works I'm not sure what to do. btw if you do a reset in IE/Tools/Internet Options/Advanced it tells you it disables browser add-ons.If you tried that then reenabling them as above might work.

mudmanc4 Posted September 11, 2008 Author CID Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks sequoia, Everything says it's enabled. And i did reset , nothing changes lol. It's a remote, so I'll have to wait for a couple days to gain access to the machine again. Then I'll look at the two shortcuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted September 11, 2008 CID Share Posted September 11, 2008 The reset is probably what disabled the add-ons.That's what reset says it will do. Check the image below. If you didn't reset prior to the problem then I guess it was caused by something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted September 14, 2008 CID Share Posted September 14, 2008 mudmanc4; When I choose IE with no add-ons either way under Tools the Manage Add-ons is greyed out. This is either if right click on the desktop IE icon is used or from the Program list. Is the one you are having a problem with this way ?

Sequoia Posted September 14, 2008 CID Share Posted September 14, 2008 mudmanc4 ; Above you posted they say that they are enabled in the properties Where do I find this ? I couldn't find any properties that showed Add-ons enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted September 14, 2008 CID Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks I hadn't found that.Good to know if I ever have the problem. It is available in both IE & IE (No Add-ons). Easiest way to put it is Internet Options> Programs > Manage Add-ons. You probably haven't accessed the remote machine yet. I'm interested to see if changing the target works. Since my IE is working correctly I hate to test it on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 14, 2008 Author CID Share Posted September 14, 2008 Not only did I have to uninstall on three of the machines, but one here at home is doing this on one profile, but doesn't give the option to uninstall. I had access to the other machine yesterday until my service was interrupted None the less, everyone seems to be telling me that this started during that AVG thing a couple weeks ago.

Sequoia Posted September 14, 2008 CID Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have AVG but when the AVG thing occured I just let it ride & didn't update for a couple of days.When I did update I had no problem.So the AVG problem could have messed something up. Possibly an uninstall of AVG then a new install of AVG would correct the IE add-on problem.Probably not but something to try. I don't think Vista has any uninstall option for IE7.At least I haven't found one. In Program Files /Internet Explorer I have this file ieinstal.exe . It doesn't do anything that I can tell on my OS but says it is : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted September 18, 2008 CID Share Posted September 18, 2008 Here is some extra information & a tool for uninstalling AVG if you need it. http://www.avg.com/faq.num-946 I never did get AVG to work correctly with Windows Mail in Vista.I'm still using AVG though.
