I have IPC remoting BHO. It can not run with protected mode of IE7. I don't know how to pass through protected mode. Can you help me?

Windows Vista

IE7 will not work in protected mode after a couple of weeks after being installed.

A message come up stating that it is looking for a solution and will not open.

Reinstallation (unsatisfactory) clears the problem for a couple of weeks.

If the programme is opened as administrator, it will open without protection but only for that usage.

In any case, links from Microsoft Mail fail to open.

The net is full of similar complaints and Microsoft could not help with a solution.

Do you have any idea of the problem and the solution.

Thanks

Harvey -

I would recommend opening up a case with Microsoft Support - however, if I'm reading this correctly, it seems that you have two different issues occurring:

1) IE7 fails to open in Protected Mode for non-administrators. I suspect that this may be an add-on that is misbehaving. Try changing your home page to a simple local HTML page (something like Hello World!), and then running IE as a non-admin using the following command: iexplore -extoff. If IE opens successfully, then switch the homepage to something like www.live.com and open IE using the -extoff switch again. If these both work, then you need to figure out which add-on / site is causing the problem.

2) With respect to the Mail links not working, I'm not 100% sure regarding this issue - I've not had issues with hyperlinks in Office 2007, but again, this would probably be best served through a support incident as there may be circumstances unique to your environment etc.

le,anhphuong -

This is really more of an IE Development question. Depending on what the BHO is trying to do, then it may not be possible with the default IE configuration, and may need some recoding so that it can work in conjunction with Protected Mode. Based on the information you've provided so far, I'm guessing that your BHO works fine with IE7 on XP.

However, you should probably open up a support incident and request to speak with our IE Developers to figure out the best course of action.

Anh Phuong -

I think you would be best served by opening up a case with Microsoft Support and working with our IE Developers to troubleshoot your BHO Issue.

I have a program that will only work with IE6 because it is not compatible with IE7 - my guess is that the protected mode may have something to do with it. I am unable to unistall the IE7 or downgrade from IE7 to IE6 because it is on a Vista machine - what can I do to allow my program to work with IE7? Is it possible?
