I mainly use Firefox, but I do use IE every now and then.. for some reason IE won't work anymore on my computer. Whenever I click on the icon the window pops up and immediately shuts back down again, anyone know what the problem is? I have IE 8 and Windows 7 if that helps.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but here's a few things to try.
How to open without add-ons
If you have Google Desktop installed, try uninstalling it. Sometimes it interferes with IE
If neither of those work, try
uninstalling it and
reinstalling .
Hope you get it to work!

Is your computer all up to date from windows update?
Windows Update =
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
But, most of the time, running IE 8 without any add-ons will fix it

Yeah, it is. I managed to fix the problem with the link Jeseh provided so it's working now.

It's a good thing I use more than one browser, otherwise I would have been screwed!
