What Version of Internet Explorer is this?

I did a search online and found that you have to reinstall it. I suggest you try that.

Also, I will go ahead and re-post your image.

how it different from ie? i have noticed that there is a ie 8 is there a chance that will fix this problem i got even tho its beta or would i be better waiting till it is out fully

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #21 on:** August 23, 2008, 05:30:02 AM »

I don't think upgrading would do anything. I would also wait until it becomes the official version of IE 8. (not beta)

Firefox is a completely different browser. I suggest you try it (it's free).

What do you mean by this?

Just think of it as installing another Internet Explorer but with a different name.

whisper_1981 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 23, 2008, 05:45:40 AM »

oh right

still waiting for microsoft ppl to get bk to me i douting they will lol

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #25 on:** August 23, 2008, 05:47:50 AM »

If you're reluctant to install Firefox, you can always unin

We just need to see the problem continues or not.
If it does, there is a problem with the computer. If it doesn't, it's a problem with Internet Explorer.

whisper_1981 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 23, 2008, 05:51:01 AM »

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #33 on:** August 23, 2008, 06:13:33 AM »

I'm not an expert with Internet Explorer but try uninstalling it through Add and Remove Programs in Control Panel.

whisper_1981 · « **Reply #34 on:** August 23, 2008, 06:17:40 AM »

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #35 on:** August 23, 2008, 06:23:21 AM »

Argh, why did they change it in Vista....

According to Google, it's called Programs and Features.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #39 on:** August 23, 2008, 07:54:49 PM »

So how are you liking Firefox?

Broni · « **Reply #40 on:** August 23, 2008, 10:15:25 PM »

You can't uninstall IE 7 in Vista, as well as in XP after SP3.
Try resetting it (Carbon's post #6), restart computer, and try it again.
We like Firefox around here, though

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #41 on:** August 23, 2008, 10:26:46 PM »

Everyone likes Firefox....they just don't know it yet....
