Internet Explorer Runonce Error
Smartphones Fun Stuff Search site How to Fix runonce.msn.com runonce2.aspx Error in IE7 I just ran across another great Microsoft error that should never have occurred because it's really not a needed feature! New to IE7 is the RunOnce screen that tries to get users to customize their settings, such as which language you want to use and if you want to join the Customer Experience program, etc, before starting to use IE7 for browsing. If you're going to add silly stuff like this in IE7 as the FIRST thing everyone in the world sees when they start up their browser, you should at least make sure it WORKS all the time! Sadly, it does not, as I just figured out. Here's some issues you can end up having with it: After you choose your settings and save, the next time you open IE7, you get the same runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx page! You get just a blank blue screen with nothing to configure! There are several ways you can get rid of or remove the runonce page from IE 7 and I'll step through those now. IE7 Runonce Remover If you're looking for a super easy way to remove the runonce page, you can download a nifty little program that someone wrote up to do just that! IE7 Runonce Remover 1..0.5 is completely free and is only needed for systems where you can't get rid of the Runonce page! Only download if you're having the two problems mentioned above, otherwise it will only run once like it's supposed to and you don't need this! Edit registry key to disable runonce from running If the above method does not get the job done for you, then you can try editing a registry key to basically manually tell Windows that the runonce page has already been completed and that it should not load. Click Start > Run and type in the text box: regedit Click OK. On the left hand side pane, navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main In the right hand side pane, right-click on RunOnceHasShown and change the value to 1 Close Regedit and then restart Internet Explorer 7 If you're not inclined to edit the registry yourself, you can prevent IE from going to the runonce page by running a script that does the steps above automatically for you.

installed Internet Explorer 7 (IE 7) on a computer and launch it for the first time, it'll try to access the Internet to Microsoft website for configure IE7. If you have an Internet connection, you simply follow a step-by-step on IE 7 and you're done. But sometimes the configuration doesn't success so your home page doesn't open. Instead, it displays a blank page every time. You may also receive an error message as below:Line 56 Char:2 Error: Element not found Code: 0 URL:http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2aspx Note: Also, this error may occurs when you reset Internet Explorer settings.Another problem, if http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-fix-runoncemsncom-runonce2aspx-error-in-ie7/ you don't have an Internet connection, for example, a stand alone computer. It'll try to connect to the Internet every time you open IE 7 even if you configured default home page, it doesn't work. That's an annoyance. Note: This solution changes values in Windows Registry so you should be familiar with it. Otherwise, I'm not recommend you to do by yourself. Modify Windows http://www.linglom.com/it-support/solved-runonce-issue-in-internet-explorer-7/ Registry incorrectly may cause the system damage.Solution to RunOnce issue on IE 7To fix the problems above, you have to modify the Windows Registry for each user account that has the problems.Open Windows Registry. Click Start -> Run -> type regedit and press Enter. Navigate to My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main. Observe if you already have these values on the right window: RunOnceComplete and RunOnceHasShown. If you have had these values, skip to step 5. Otherwise, go to next step to create the new ones. Right-click on Main (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main) -> New -> String Value -> Type RunOnceComplete on Name -> Press Enter. Also, repeat it on RunOnceHasShown. Once you have these 2 keys, double-click on each key and assign value to 1 on both keys as the figure below. Open Internet Explorer again and the problem are gone.

Some users may like to start their browsing always from a particular page on the Internet, perhaps at a search engine or portal. Others may figure that since they’re going to type in a URL for the page that they actually do want to see, they don’t want to muck around with some other page first. It is pretty important, then, that the home page be configurable. It may even be something that users care about quite a lot. Some measure of this is that the Internet Properties dialog has configuration of the home page as its very first item. The home page is also something that computer manufacturers have cared about quite a lot. They have perhaps no better way to contact you as a new customer than to configure the pre-installed Windows so that your first use of Internet Explorer takes you to their website, where you can register your purchase, give them your address, etc. Internet Explorer has long provided for this separate configuration of a home page for ordinary use and a first home page for the very first use. Problem Recent versions of Internet Explorer, particularly as supplied with Windows Vista, may not immediately respect the user’s choice of home page or even the manufacturer’s configuration of a first home page. Instead, Internet Explorer insists on connecting to the Internet and going to a Microsoft website. The Internet Explorer from Windows Vista would send you to one of the following: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=74005 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=59527 What’s more, this diversion is “sticky”. Unlike the first home page, you can’t just dismiss it the once and never be troubled by it again. Instead, this diversion to Microsoft continues at every startup of Internet Explorer until Microsoft’s page has been loaded and its scripts have been all
