    IE Problems
    « on: August 19, 2008, 04:36:43 AM »
    I have a dell dimension 2350.  I have the most recent updates for the most part.  I have IE7 Installed but its not opening when clicked or let me look at pages saved an so on.  I tried repairing it an nothing worked.  I dont wish to do a restore since I have work stuff on this machine.

      Thats what I'm saing, I dont wish to do that.  Dont recall when it appeared or had happened.  Also, I did a scan useing my defense an it didnt find anything that would cause this sort of thing to happen.

      Note: System Restore is perfectly Safe.

      Did you try reinstalling IE?

      System Restore (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore) doesn't touch your personal files, so your work stuff should be just fine.  And if it doesn't help, you can simply undo it.

        For reinstalling IE7, you should follow the steps here:
        http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917964


        And if you're concerned about something happening to your work files, you could always back them up first.

          Do other browsers still function properly?

            Go ahead and give it a try whenever you get a chance.  I'm just curious to see if it gives you any problems.

              Well, I don't really know.  That's what I'm hoping to find out by testing another browser.  Firefox should work, but I want to make sure.

                Unfortuneatly, it didnt work.  I tried opening a page after installing it an it wouldnt open.  I tried even pointing it to the IE an couldnt find the program file.  This is running xp, will try the other recommened action if nothing else today.
