Internet Explorer Closed Unexpectedly?
The first time Internet Explorer is opened after starting the system, it always displays a dialog box with two choices that reads:Your last browsing session closed unexpectedly* Restore your last session* Go to your home pageAfter clicking either choice, IE works without a hitch. Actually, IE is never closed "unexpectedly". It is always closedby clicking on the X at the top right hand corner. What could be the cause of the spuriousmessage?This is a clean install of W7RC Build 7100. The only add-on in my IE8are those present after W7RC installation, plus Windows Live Sign-in Helper that was added by the installation of Windows Live Mail.

Hi Henry,Do a quick test: After closing IE by clicking on the red X, open up Task Manager, and select Process. From there, see if you can find IExplorer.exe from the list. If yes, then it shows that IE wasn't closed properly - Could be caused by an add on. In this case, try opening Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons) from Start -> Accessories -> System Tools, and see if this issue persists.Thanks.Jabez Gan [MVP] - http://www.msblog.org Contributing Author for: (Sybex) MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-643

Jabez Gan:Thank you forthe reply. Before I posted, the messageoccurred after every boot. After the post, it doesn't show up anymore.Task Manager is clean. How the issue fixed itself is a mystery to me:I did not make any changes, neither tothe system nor to theapplications. Many thanks again just the same.

Henry I'm having the same issue and it's driving me nuts. Also for some reason in addition to the annoying "Your last browing session...etc" box I can't log onto my igoogle home page... I say's "Redirecting" and it never connects. Once that happens I can't do anything. This all happend today...Did you find out anything? Nancy

Henry, I fixed both problems... I first figured out that I can open up my browser with no annoying message and no "Redirecting" by using the "No Add-On feature"Go to Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Internet Explorer (no add-ons) After opening your browser this way (I have XP) and it works correct alls I did was un-install my google tool bar and then re-intalled it. It kept my same setting. The google tool bar has the add-ons and needed to be fixed.Good Luck, this took me 6 hours. Nancy

I too have the above issue but haven't been able to fix it. This morning there were 11 sessions open and I had to close each one by itself. My computer is set to install updates at 3am and it is always after the computer has rebooted. Thank you in advance for any advice.

To turn off the warnings. GPEdit.msc Administrative Templates - > Windows Components -> Internet Explorer Enable - Turn off Automatic Crash Recovery Prompt This also might be useful: Enable - Turn off Crash Detection

IE8 still frequently forgets the full list of pages opend during the previous session. Had >15 open and only 1 was recovered after a forced quit using the feature.
