Top 3 fixes for: Internet Explorer won't start, IE7, IE8, IE9 opens then closes immediately

I have been having this issue for years and I found the final solution just yesterday! So I thought I would post it here and hopefully help out thousands of other people like me.

Before I explain the solution let me describe the problem in detail. For some unknown reason, I have always had this problem on my main computer with Internet Explorer 9: whenever I want to run it, a blank window appears for 0.1 second then closes instantly, without any error message or anything. The solutions I describe are valid for Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) and Internet Explorer 9 (IE9). I am running Windows 7 but the solutions also work for Windows Vista and Windows XP.

There are three solutions here, among which two are the official solutions proposed by Microsoft. Let me tell you right off - Microsoft's solutions had no effect, so you might want to skip to the last one immediately.

  1. Solution 1: deleting all IE settings so as to remove potentially blocking add-ons
  2. Solution 2: uninstalling and reinstalling IE completely
  3. Solution 3: running a script that cleans your registry and re-registers missing DLLs
Read on for a detailed description of each of these three solutions.

Solution 1 (by Microsoft)

The problem is perfectly described on a support page entitled "Internet Explorer opens, flashes, and then closes immediately when you start it". That's exactly what happens here, except their solutions had no effect for me. Maybe you'll be luckier than I was?

So the first solution is to reset Internet Explorer to its default settings. After all, the problem you are having might be caused by an add-on that causes IE to crash or something. In order to proceed, either click the above link to download a tool that will clean up your IE settinsg, OR run the tool from your machine (yeah, the tool should already be installed on your machine):
1) Open the Internet Options applet from the control panel
2) Go to the Advanced tab
3) Click the "Reset Settings" button
4) Make sure the "Delete personal settings" box is ticked and press OK.
5) Try running IE again and see if that fixed it.



Solution 2 (by Microsoft)

If that didn't help, you can try their second recommendation, which is basically to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer. The process is simple and there is actually no installer to run.
Uninstalling:
1) Open the Programs and Features applet from the control panel (Add/Remove programs in XP)
2) Click the "Turn Windows Features on or off" link on the left
3) Untick Internet Explorer in the list of programs that shows up
4) Restart your computer
Reinstalling: do the exact same, except you tick the box.
If you have an older version of Internet Explorer, I recommend downloading Internet Explorer 9 (offline installer, not one of those stupid web installers that always fail).



Solution 3 by Kai Schätzl - the ultimate fix!

If like me none of the above worked, you must try Kai Schätzl's delicious script. You have no idea how thankful I am, Mr. Kai. Basically, all you have to do is download one of the below scripts:
- If you are running Windows 32-bit, download this: Internet Explorer 7/8/9 repair script for Win32
- If you are running Internet Explorer 32-bit version on Windows 64-bit, download this: IE 7/8/9 repair script for IE 32bit on Win64
- If you are running Internet Explorer 64-bit on Windows 64-bit, download this: IE 7/8/9 repair script for IE on Win64

Once you have that downloaded, extract the ZIP archive, you will find a .cmd file (command-line batch file). It contains instructions that will repair your system and allow Internet Explorer to finally work again. DISREGARD the filename: it's called "IE8" but it works with IE7, IE8 and IE9. To run it, right-click the file and click "Run as administrator".



After it finishes running, start Internet Explorer and voila! You can now use the world's worst web browser again. Download Google Chrome now!

Recently I had some pretty bad virus's that changed many things with my start up, programs, and applications such as IE8.

After neither of the microsoft tricks worked, option 3 worked as described. Within about 1 minute IE8 was back up and running on my WIN Xp computer.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.

Still nothing worked for me. I have to get IE working. I need some paperwork from a court house and all they use is IE. Once I get all that done I am going back to Chrome. I have been working on this for months.

None of these 3 options worked. Windows 7 64-bit. Neither IE8 or IE9 work.
^ to the above. Did you try the right fix for your 64-bit system?

If you are using Internet Explorer 64 bit version, use this script: here

If you are using IE 32 bits under Windows 64 bits, you need this one.

Try these, it really won't hurt your system. all it does basically is (re)register some DLLs who are required by Internet Explorer.

Thanks!!! You are wonderful...
Was looking for a fix for several months...
Why didn't I see your site before???

Thanks a lot!!! :D :D
Jade said…
Thanks for the solutions!

I tried Option 1 first, and it worked. But when I closed the explorer and reopened it, it closes immediately again.

Then I tried Option 3. It also worked, but similarly, the second time I opened the browser, it closed again. But when I opened again, it worked, and so on...

Basically, I was able to successfully launch the browser in my every other attempt. I guess I just have to be happy with that.

Thanks!
Haha wow, this is really weird. I can't believe IE is so dodgy. At least we should be getting some kind of error message. What are the developers thinking?

Option 3 worked after I had an exhausting 3 day research into this issue. The only thing I can advise the author is to include more keywords in the title (like IE opens and carashed, instead of just IE opens and closes, etc. so other people can find the solution faster :)

Thanks for finding this automated script that re-registers .dll files etc. to return IE to its original functionality - very much appreciated!!!

Grr... none of this worked for me. Even option 3, and I tried all 3 downloads. I have Win7 64 and IE9 32. I don't know why that is, but I disabled IE a LONG time ago, now that I need it even when I enable it it just opens for a second and closes. I think it may be time to reinstall my Win7.

So every time I click one of your links, it takes me to some movie downloader. Wtf?
Anonymous said…
I'm not a computer wizard. How do you download something when your internet won't open??? I'm using my wife's computer to search for solutions. I hit the reset button on my internet trying to fix some things (as told) and now when i try to open it, it opens as you say, for a second and then gone.
"So every time I click one of your links, it takes me to some movie downloader. Wtf?"
=> Hello, you must be clicking an ad banner instead of the actual download button. Those ads can be sneaky.

"I'm not a computer wizard. How do you download something when your internet won't open???" => use someone else's computer to download the fix, copy it onto a USB drive and run it on your computer. It doesn't take a computer wizard ... :-)

I have WinXP (32 bits) and none of the three solutions worked separately.
Then I did a combination starting with solution #3 and then disabling IExplorer as in solution #2. Finally, after restarting the computer I did a fresh installation of IExplorer 8 from an installer downloaded from Microsoft using a second computer and a USB stick (because the first computer had no browser yet).
This combination did the trick. Thank you Clement!

Options 1 & 2 never worked, so I've tried option 3. After trying all three scripts, my inernet explorer still doesn't work. I made sure I ran the .cmd files properly for each one and waited for the script to finish and 'press any key to continue', and still my internet explorer doesn't work.

Can anyone help me?

I went straight to step 3 to try the IE fix script first. I had some difficulty, as WinZip sux, never made sense to me, also instructions didn't account for the fact that you have to perform the download on another computer first to a portable media and upload to trouble computer, and the computer I was trying to fix was all in Russian (Cyrillic). I did the download to a CD, loaded it to the troubled computer, never had to perform an Extraction as the instructions indicate (just double-clicked the uploaded file), and it did not fix the issue. Then I went to step 1 and performed an IE Reset which appears to have fixed the issue. So maybe both the Reset and Script need to be performed to fix the issue? Or at least in some cases? Either way, your IE instructions got me the desired result. Thank you.

mandelmus said…
Thanks for this info. None of these appeared to work, but discovered what might have caused the problem. Apparently, IE was waiting for SuperAntiSpyware, which was waiting for Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) (which was set to delayed auto start under Services). After about 7 minutes, Intel RST started, SuperAntiSpyware started, and IE started.
James Boelter said…
Option 3 worked like a charm. Took me a while to pick out the actual download vs. the ad banners, and I had to choose the manual download vs. the automatic one, but once I ran the actual script, I was back in business.

Just uncheck Enable Protected mode under the security tab. If you can't open the internet options because IE won't open, right click on the IE icon and run as administrator.

Thank you option 3 worked instantly and I am not a computer whiz...to those who asked how do you download the file if you cannot open internet explorer is that you have to download it on another computer using a flash drive. Obviously you are on another computer if you are seeing this. Instead of running the file, click save and save it to your flash drive. Then all you have to do is click on it on your flash drive when you plug it into the non working computer and voila...Thank you again....I hope some really good things happen to you!!

My advice: try anything but this script.

Ran full antivirus scan. Ran rootkit scan. All OK. In desperation I decided to try "the script."

Trying to download the script I got to a screen that forced me to accept a download for ilivid (?) or reboot. I rebooted - with only the usual windows startup stuff. Windows took a long, long time to start. So I ran chkdsk - it found a trashed filesystem - which I had it fix. Then windows ran, but IE still didn't run. I figured out a way around the "download my crapware or else" screen, downloaded the file, ran the script. IE still wouldn't work. Reboot - and all hell broke loose. Tried to use windows repair - it hung. Tried to reinstall windows from image - it hung. Finally used LINUX to repartition the drive. Then I was able to reinstall Windows. My advice: learn to live without IE, or find another fix. A friend gave ma a list of reg fixes - he said works. In all, only reformat and reinstall windows worked. Other than those problems, I had a good morning.
My advice: try anything but this script.

To the anonymous person who recommends not using the script: sorry about that, but you must have clicked an advert instead of the actual download link. Ads can be misleading, some companies (such as ilivid) trick people into clicking their banners instead of the real download buttons.

I confirmed that the script of solution nº 3 works for Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 64-bit. It was the only solution that worked out for me. Thank you for the links, OP!
SLBC said…
RE: Luis Azurduy

I believe this is the easiet way - if IE is 64-bits, it will be listed in Start>Programs more or less like this: "Internet Explorer (64 bits)"
If it's 32-bits, it will be just: "Internet Explorer".
You can also open Windows Explorer and navigate to the IE folder. It might be on Program Files or Program Files (x86). Right click "iexplore.exe", then check properties>Details>File version.
I use the PT-BR version of Windows, so I don't know for sure the name of the commands. Hope you can figure it out.

Turns out our problem was that my son installed a game which also installed Search Protect by Conduit. It hijacked both Chrome and IE.

Not knowing that this was the problem I tried the first two of these solutions but Search Protect hijacked the resets without me being aware.

I finally disabled Conduit's Search Protect by following Norton's step-by-step instructions and was then able to reset IE and it works like a charm now.

Here are Norton's instructions: https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v96233795_EndUserProfile_en_us

I tried these and other methods without more than temporary success (worked once, then went back to flashing up and going away). Finally decided to test another Windows profile, which worked normally. Resolved by deleting the Windows profile and rebuilding it.

None of these options worked. When I clicked run a pop up came up and said that it had stopped working....

Didn't work! :(

I tried all 3 options. I've been searching everywhere to get IE fixed to no avail. I'm using IE 11 which some people said Option 3 worked for, but it didn't do squat for me.

Does anyone have any other options, specifically for IE 11?

I can’t even blog on an iPad, much more on an iPhone. I love them, but nothing could replace a PC or laptop when I’m in the mood to write. You get that feeling when you’re actually typing on the keyboard rather than on a touch screen? It gives me the momentum to be more creative for what I write.

That's really interesting. I wonder why it isn't working. I had a similar problem with my computer. I ended up having to take it to a computer repair shop. They told me that it was something I wouldn't have been able to fix by myself. You may be in the same boat I was in. I would suggest taking it in to get it professionally fixed. http://Jerryscomputerrepair.com

You need to reset it. If it wont start, manually run inetcpl.cpl and do so. Then the options open. Reset it. Set the start page to a known good site, like www.msn.com.

Done
