anyone know why, if IE is opened from another application for example a web design software app to preview a site, it is OK and runs normally BUT if run from a shortcut / start menu item or any other direct method it doesn't... (IE appears to load and then disappears - checking task manager there is no sign of explorer except for the usual desktop one).
Its running on XP with the latest updates, etc. I have resorted to Firefox in the meantime, which is fine and rarely crashes (!) .. lol :)
Which version of IE? Please post a hijackthis log.

Nothing jumps out except you have two name server entries (see 017 entries)
85.255.112.39
org-name: UkrTeleGroup Ltd.
address: UkrTeleGroup Ltd.
address: Mechnikova 58/5 65029 Odessa
Do you know who this is? If you don't fix these entries.
Try again... if it still doesn't launch it is likely that one of the addons corrupted...
Start, control panel, internet options, programs tab, manage addons button
Disable all of the for the moment and try and start IE. If it starts, you get the nice boring job of turning on one addon at a time then launching internet explorer, closing internet explorer and turning on the next addon until you find the one that stops ie.
how would i remove that ip?
disabled all add-ons. it worked. reset IE to default settings. still works fine. a lot of the add-ons run without permission!
cheers
Use Hijackthis to fix the ip entries and check the host file as well.
You appear to be running an AV/AM suite from Virgin Broadband (PCguard) and also this;
O23 - Service: DvpApi (dvpapi) - Authentium, Inc. - C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Authentium\AntiVirus\d vpapi.exe
Normally it isn't good to run 2 AV's at the same time.
Go to add remove programs and remove all toolbars. I have seen this where a toolbar was at fault
Look in Internet options at the home page and reset it to something else, could be the home page calls a popup which closes the browser.
