Problems with Internet Explorer

[typingtroubles]

Hi there,

 

i have somehow managed to change a setting on my pc so that i cannot type anything into the toolbar on internet explorer it just says 'Application not found' i can however go into google by setting it as my default but when i try to click on certain links within a website it says the same error message.

 

I cannot download anything so i have been unable to download Internet Explorer again, if anyone could help i would be most grateful :)

ok.

do you have an original xp cd to hand or can you obtain one......

you could try the cmd line repair but you WILL need your xp cd to hand

go to start>run then type in (without the qoutes) rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\Inf\ie.inf

this will try a repair install of internet explorer using the ie inf stored when internet explorer is installed...

give that a try first.

post back so i know how oyu are getting on.

antoher thing is try system restore

start>all programs>accessories>system tools>system restore.

choose a date before this happened then restore to that point

i brought my computer in norway and live here but only speak english when i load programs or go on some web sites it is in norwegian how can i show my computer as english not norwegian

[danzil]

if the web page is written in norwgian then know you can tyoe the web site name in google,and google will try its best to translate it..

if not your language settings are wrong...go to start>control panel>regional language options.make sure htey are correct..

please also open another post for your own question,,,this is classed as hijacking and is usually frowned on...
