Hi,
Caution is good. The exported registry can be stored in any convenient
location. Creating a System Restore point will also create a backup.

Start>Programs> Accessories> System tools> System restore.

Hi Don
Thanks heaps for your help, much appreciated.
I checked gpedit.msc yesterday and all is checked as not configured so
that
part seems ok.
Looks like the next option is to start in safe mode.

Just a question if I export the registry can I save under my documents.
Just
a bit tentative when it comes to the registry.

Thanks Trecky

Hi Don

Do you have more detailed instructions on locating the DWORD
"NoExtensionManagement". Where would this be located. Once found how
do I
Export the entire registry.
Sorry I don't usually play around with the Registry that much so it is
all
new to me, but I can follow instructions as long as I know where to
go.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
IE7 questions should be posted to the
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general newsgroup- but that's not
terribly easy to determine.

On the web:


http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In Outlook Express or another NNTP newsreader:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

But, since you're here...
First check Internet Options> Advanced> Enable third-party browser
extensions. It should be checked. If that didn't fix things go to
the
next step.

Next, run regedit and search for the DWORD value
"NoExtensionManagement"
If you find it either:
1. Create a System Restore point
2. Export the entire registry
3. Export the key containing that DWORD value

Then delete the "NoExtensionManagement" DWORD value.
If you need more detailed instructions, let me know. Be very careful
when
editing the registry.

If unsuccessful with that procedure, startup in Safe Mode with
Networking.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=315222
If the problem goes away, a program that didn't load in Safe Mode is
causing it.

Or, uninstall.reinstall IE7. Make sure that antivirus/antispyware
programs
are disabled when installing IE7. See
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#tips for other
installation
tips.

I get a message that Internet Explorer is currently running with
add-ons
disabled.
If I click on Tools (Manage Add Ons) is in grey so I can't access
it
to
enable the add on feature.
Any ideas on what to do next.
