Just thought I would share my experience with IE7.
It took nearly two weeks to download it after I received the announcement from Windows Update (the download would keep timing out due to heavy load on their servers). Anyway once it downloaded I then had to wait until the following day before it decided to install itself. There were no problems with installation, but upon running IE7 for the first time it kept trying to load a page from Microsoft - runonce.aspx, which was something to do with settings. All I received was a blank blue screen and whenever I closed IE, it crashed! After searching on Google I discovered that I could disable this 'runonce' page by editing the registry, but to be honest, I wanted to actually see the page.
To cut a long story short, I have NTL Netguard and by temporarily disabling the Ad Blocking feature, the 'runonce' page loaded successfully and I was able to save the settings it offered. IE7 now works flawlessly and I am quite pleased with it.
If anyone else has such a problem, it might be worth trying what I did. Maybe other similar Ad Blocking programs could cause the same problem.
