I cannot print from IE7

F

Vista Home Premium. For while I could not print to either paper or pdf in IE
and Firefox. But I could print in Avant and Maxthon.

I messed with Firefox addons and options and can now print from its
webpages, tried the same thing with IE but still get "IE has shut down.
Windows is trying to find out why". The screen goes diffuse, I hit cancel on
the windows search thing and IE restarts.

I have scanned with three known AV/Anti-malware apps and am clean enough to
pay my bills tomorrow so infection is not the problem. Any suggestions?

thanks,

frog

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2 as
well as your IE version when posting in an IE-specific forum or newsgroup.
Please do so in your next reply.

1. Does the behavior persist if you start IE in No Add-ons mode?

=> Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No add-ons).

2. Does the behavior persist if you Reset IE Advanced settings (RIES)?

3. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

4. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

Still won't print with NO add-ons, nor after I reset IE7. There are NO
viruses nor malware. A week ago everything printed fine.

Again, Avant and Maxthon print fine, Firefox and IE7 didn't but I fixed
Firefox by messing with Firefox options. Nothing I do with IE7 changes
things --when I click on Print, Page Setup, Print Preview, anything to do
with printing, the window diffuses and says "IE has stopped working". I
noticed that Windows has installed iPrint and Windows XPS Document Writer in
my printer folder without my knowing it -- could those be the source of
printing problems with IE7?

I'm giving this a chance before totally switching to Chrome. It sucks when
everything works great on a Windows OS except a Windows app, and Windows
offers no diagnoses or explanation.

That does not answer my questions #3 and #4.

Is KB980182 installed earlier this week and did the problem begin after it
was installed?

KB980182 is not installed.

I have Zone Alarm firewall. Avira Antivir runs and I used that,
Malwarebytes, Spyware Terminator, and Returnil to scan immediately after
updating which I always do before paying monthly bills online.

Never used Norton, The McAfee stuff that came with the OEM has been purged
with Cleanse Uninstaller, never used it. I have had this laptop since just
about when Vista came out.

Have you ever run the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool?

Why isn't KB980182 installed?

FYI I just solved the problem by unblocking SNAGIT7.dll (a printer attached
to the capture app) from Spyware Terminator. I was almost ready to just quit
using IE (switched to IE8 in the process).

Thanks for your input.

IMPORTANT! => Support for Vista Gold (no Service Packs) [that's YOU!] ends
on 13 April 2010 (i.e., next Tuesday)! After that date, computers running
Vista Gold will NOT be offered any further critical security updates,
Automatic Updates will not work, and you will not be able to update manually
until SP1 or SP2 is installed.

What does it mean if my version of Windows is no longer supported?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/what-does-end-of-support-mean

PS: SNAGIT7.dll is a driver, not a printer.
