I got it out of the very annoying IE restarts and font security alerts in IE by two things. First, I uninstalled some OEM installed crap programs for telephony and such then followed up with manual removal of their residual directories that I could locate. This got rid of the IE9 restarts. The font security alerts I got rid of by wading through the McAfee AV/firewall configuration. The McAfee has a so called optimizer function and did a deep scan with this. The optimizer found about 2000 registry goofs, active X goofs, file fragments, dead end links, etc. First thing it did in the fix was to set a restore point then fixed most of them.
We stuck with 7 because of the issues, and our major data provider put out a warning about IE8
post the event viewer entries. also look for dump files. see if who crashed can read them. One other thing to try might be to run SFC. Lastly if you know the hardware is good, get your data off and do a rebuild.
A few other things to try would be MS offline system sweeper, and superantispyware in safemode.
Lastly win7 is fine, I have a client running a 64bit version with no probs. Remember that 7 is really a better vista, so right out of the box it was sp1. The original issues with vista were corrected for both OS’s.
I had this problem. I uninstalled IE8 and installed a clean copy. That solved my problem. Good hunting because luck has nothing to do with it.
Win7 has already gone through 2 service packs and is virtually glitch free....been using it since I got my M11x and have grown to really like the platform. Might want to consider moving from XP to Win7 simply because Win7 uses RAM and such more effectively/efficiently.
did u ever figure this out ?
