Try uninstalling then reinstalling IE.
Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs> Add/Remove Windows Components and then remove the tick from IE> click next and let it run through.
Reboot your system and then go through the process again and replace the tick.
Try it now.
Pcwizards – another good idea, however I tried this several times just as you pointed out and it did not fix the problem. I did notice that before I removed it, there was no program in the “currently installed programs” window. I did go on and did the add/rem components with a remove. Then backed out and did a reboot, then the back to do the add/rem components to add. Everything seemed to take correctly with the “wizard window”. However IE never shows up in the “currently installed programs”. I tried this operation several times to “kick” it a little, but never shows up. I do notice that the icon for IE goes and comes when I add/rem. IE program continues to fail to remain fully opened.
Looks like I lost the IE application file and can’t add it totally?
I did have IE 6 at the time before everything fell apart with it, and I also had downloaded the service packs for security and updates. This was done well before any problems started. There were no changes or settings made for months before the problem came about.
My question now is: I can’t find backup disc for IE 6. I’ve looked all over the house. I did find my older ver 5. Can I install v.5 from the CD and then get to MS for a download of the ver 6? as well as the patches?
Also another avenue I could go down maybe? Question. Can I do a “system restore” back to the date before this problem came about? I don’t know if system restore keeps track of IE programs?
Again any help or ideas with this is appreciated!
