know if my sister-in-law could!! Thanks in advance! Marshall mf12str, Jul 1, 2009 #2 Blackmirror Joined: Dec 5, 2006 Messages: 32,641 Have you tried updating to sp3 ? Blackmirror, Jul 1, 2009 #3 mf12str Thread Starter Joined: Jun 30, 2009 Messages: 11 I thought that that would be a help, but it didn't help the situation with the IE-non-existent browser. But, I believe updating to SP3 was a great idea anyway. Thanks! mf12str, Jul 2, 2009 #4 gchen2009 Joined: Jul 2, 2009 Messages: 1 Hi mf12str, I don't think it is worth to update to SP3 which could cause you a nightmare. Actually I already sufferred it. I would suggest to remove your IE7 completely with using following command on the START -> RUN %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe This will uninstall IE7 and makes it so that you can reinstall it later. And this works for my PC with the same issue. Hope this helps Gang gchen2009, Jul 2, 2009 #5 mf12str Thread Starter Joined: Jun 30, 2009 Messages: 11 Thanks for the help. Uninstalling IE7 got the browser back to working condition!! mf12str, Jul 6, 2009 #6 Sponsor This thread has been Locked and is not open to further replies.

an up-to-date kinda guy so on my Windows XP install (through VMWare Fusion), I have the latest beta IE 8 running. Then I do my IE 6 http://chriscoyier.net/2008/10/01/the-requested-lookup-key-was-not-found-in-any-active-activation-context/ testing through IE Tester. This normally works fine until recently I had a problem with Wufoo forms. Any page with a Wufoo form on it wouldn't load in IE 6. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26472621/Receive-the-error-message-The-requested-lookup-key-was-not-found-in-any-active-activation-context-whenever-I-enter-an-address-in-Internet-Explorer-running-on-Server-2003-R2-within-a-MS-Virtual-PC.html I contacted them and they said they've seen the same thing, but only through "virtualized" renderings of IE 6, not through "real" installations. So I decided I was gonna uninstall internet explorer my way back down to IE 6 and see if that would work. First you uninstall IE 8, restart, which brings you to IE 7. Then you uninstall IE 7, restart, which brings you to IE 6 (friggin seriously). Fortunately, this worked, and it wasn't Wufoo at all, those pages were running fine in a "real" instance of IE 6. But the requested lookup now I have a problem with a site in IE 7. IE Tester can't test IE 7 unless you actually have it installed, so I needed to go back to Microsoft.com and install IE 7. And… WTF. Great time for a nasty weird error with no solution in sight. I hate Windows. This is what happens when you click to download IE 7. You can close it, but then no download starts. Comments Jeremy A. Snyder says: 10/01/2008 at 4:12 pm I haven't had this problem… but google-ing for an answer I came across this article: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1099567&SiteID=1 It talks about a second way to "manually" uninstall IE7: http://www.lockergnome.com/blade/2006/12/21/how-to-uninstall-internet-explorer-version-7-method-2/ Sounds like this problem can be caused when you have part of the IE7 installation still hanging around. Hope this helps. Jeremy Chris Coyier says: 10/02/2008 at 1:15 pm Thank Jeremy! I think that's exactly what the problem was. A little clean up and another restart and I had IE 7 back going again.
