As far as I know Manager is in no way dependent on Internet Explorer. ---

Manager does check for IE version above 9. but you should not be having any trouble using Manager on Windows 7. do you have any windows updates pending? if yes, then please install your system updates and try installing Manager again. ---

> [@novica](#): > > Do you know why? Windows XP was limited to IE8 and Manager is no longer supported on XP, so IE 9 is checked to see that you aren’t using XP or earlier Windows OS. ---

Yeah I suspected as much. But the original poster said he is running Windows 7. And as far as I know there is no way Win7 to be without IE9. ---

Well, this is all guesswork on my side but it is possible that a power failure somehow corrupted the manager database file. ---

Either the business file or a Manager programme file has been affected by the power failure. You could run one of the window utilities such as “Defrag” and see if that repairs. If after running those utilities you still have an issue, you could download the latest Manager. ---
