Re-Installing Internet Explorer


Recommended Posts

I recently ran a registry cleaner on my XPpro system. It boots MUCH

faster now but for some reason, Internet Explorer wont run quite

right. It appears to run fine for most browsing but when I go to one

of the sites our family uses frequently (http://www.americangreetings.com),

the card can't be displayed for editing within IE6

 

I've looked in my control panel for some means of un-installing IE6,

tried dumping the cache, etc and even tried downloading a new copy of

IE6 and installing over the top of the old one.

 

My question, who out there as experience with 'restoring' Internet

Explorer? I've tried running utilities that dump the cache, free up

hard drive space and so on - still no luck.

 

On the American Greetings site, IE tries to open up a separate window

to show the card but won't do it. I need some sort of repair tool

obviously (short of uninstalling and re-installing).

 

Thanks for any help...

Re: Re-Installing Internet Explorer

 

Your problem is that you used a so-called registry cleaner. These are

not only unnecessary, they frequently cause problems, as you are

unfortunately finding out.

 

Since no one knows exactly what your registry cleaner did it's hard to

give specific advice without taking a lucky guess. If your cleaner has

an undo function, undo the changes you made. Otherwise, you may get

relief if you restore your system to a point in time just before you

used your registry cleaner.

 

The problems caused by registry cleaners are well known. Instead, you

should follow Smokey the Bear's advice: Don't play with matches.

 

IE 6 cannot be uninstalled from Windows XP.

if memory serves me right when you attempt to uninstall IE from add/remove

in the control panel it gives the option of repair reinstall.

1... First, try to clean up your caches, Internet files and delete cookies

by doing this:

Click Start >> Control Panel >> Double click Network and Internet

Connections >> Double click Internet Options.

On the IE properties windows you will see these Taps:

General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs |

Advanced

Under General Tab clear your History, Internet Files and Cookies.

Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:

[&] Browsing

[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.

Then click on Programs Tab and click Manage Add-Ons and Disable all non

Verified Add-Ons (You should Renable them later one-by-one and see the

culprit and update it or remove it.

How to manage Add-Ons:

You can Reset the web settings under programs Tab then click on Reset web

settings button, reboot and see if it will help.

No, your memory is wrong. No repair option.
