No permission to run IE 7+

[Gene Girard]

I upgraded over an existing Windows XP Home installed. It only had one user
with administrative privileges and no password. In Vista whenever I launch
IE 7+ it's hard locks/freezes and I have to load out. If I click anything
in the entire OS that " calls " IE, same thing. I've narrowed it down to a
don't have permission to access the entire IE 7+ folder. I desperately need
help as this is making my whole Vist experience just awful. Any suggestions
greatly appreciated.

Is Sun's Java (version 5, release 7) installed? If yes, uninstall it and
try 5, version 6 instead.

Sharon, thank you for your response. I hate Java. The useless icon in the
system tray the state's boldly " Java Platform 2, JRE 1.5 ", but in Programs
version five, released six, finally, and about, it says " Version 1.5.0
(build 1.5.0_06-b05) " finally in desperation I pointed and click myself to
User Access Control and turned it off. All my problems have disappeared.
When I get more familiar with Vista and its user account, rights, and
permissions information I will change it back. I hope this to ships with an
interactive tutorial on these issues. When I was poking around trying to
access the rights of the Windows Internet Explorer folder I found a user
with the name of " Microsoft Net Framework 1.1 with machine in the name. I
deleted that user. My install was an upgrade from a clean install of
Windows XP (plus about 15 of my favorite programs), so probably accounts for
some of my problems.

Thanks very much,
Gene
