"Requested lookup key" IE7 Problem

Hi,

We are aware of this issue only in the event of not rebooting the machine after installing IE7. Hopefully, a reboot should fix the problem, have you tried this yet

Regards,

Wesley

I uninstalled IE7 and installed again, this time making sure i rebooted the computer, and my problem is now solved. Must have just been me being a little lazy when installing new programmes to my new computer.

Thanks for your help - Callum

Uninstall it via Add/Remove Programs, click Show Updates and select Windows Internet Explorer 7.0. When you reinstall it, make sure you reboot immediately after you install.

After all the years of excellent Microsoft products, I'm disappointed with Microsoft for releasing IE7 with basic install bugs. It must have caused non-technical users a great deal of headaches and I hope Microsoft gets their act together.

I hope that helps,

Brian

I need help too.

I have the same error as Callum, but I don't know how to reinstall Internet Explorer if I uninstall it first. I would prefer not to install Firefox on my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

I've also had a problem (twice actually) trying to install IE7 on my Dell Notebook with Win XP Pro. Both times I couldn't browse after the install and there were no options to uninstall. If I recall correctly I had to reformat just to get back to factory settings.

It could be that I didn't reboot after installation but I'm not prepared to try it again after such dramas before.

Regards,

Alan
