IE 8 start-up problem upon boot

[Guest PA Bear [MS MVP]]

Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3?

 

 

 

Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your

 

subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?

 

What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running

 

in the background when you installed IE8?

 

 

 

Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this

 

machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought

 

it)?
