hpg Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I had a problem with Windows XP and had to use the recovery feature in the CD that came with the Dell desktop. My skills are very limited, but I was able to get the computer back up and running. Now when I click on Exployer ver 7, it opens with the message it is running with add-ons disabled. Turning off and restarting, it still appears. How do I turn this off. Edited February 19, 2009 by hpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hpg Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Launch IE go to tools => add ons => manage add onsenable themPete, as usual , thank you as you have helped me in the past. Last night, I rebooted the computer and it loaded with add-ons. This morning, when I turned it on and went to IE 7, it loaded without add-ons. I rebooted and it them came on with add ons. If I hit tools, manage add-ons, it shows 4 lines. Presently, it's on add-ons presently loaded in IE. When it loads without add ons, that feature is grayed out. Boy did I pick the wrong month to quit drinking and go on a diet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Whenever you make changes like this it is best to restart rather than use the application in question (Internet Explorer). What I would do is disable the addons, reboot, enable them and reboot.It is possible that one of the add ons is malfunctioning and hence IE is loading the "IE Safe mode" with all addons disabled. If you suspect this the solution is to disable all add ons and enable them one at a time ; at a minimum close IE after each one is enabled and then re open it . I would also recommend that you go to the malware board and post a hijackthis log to ensure you are not infected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I click enable , which of the four things should I use. Sorry, I an old guy and not very good with computers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hpg Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Not sure what I did, but it is now working OK. I think I should leave well enough alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
