KeepSafe blocking IE from Launching
Tuesday, September 13, 2005 by Jim Park | Discussion: ThinkDesk
After installing KeepSafe, I can't launch internet explorer. I can launch firefox fine. But IE will just turn to hourglass for a few seconds and the mouse will return to normal but no IE window. I can see in the task manager iexplorer.exe running but no window. But if I unload KeepSafe, I can launch IE again. Any ideas?

I tried excluding the internet explorer folder in the program files directory and the temporary internet files folder as well. I even excluded the windows directory. None of thesee help. Interesting point (or maybe not interesting). I kill KeepSafe. I launch IE. I launch KeepSafe. I can then go to the existing IE and create new IE windows. But I cannot launch a new IE process by clicking on the icon on the desk top or start menu.
I have this problem on my desktop computer but not my laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like it's the new MSN toolbar w/ their Google Desktop like search. I uninstalled that and now IE loads up fine. I suggest you guys test KeepSafe with the new MSN toolbar.
