Internet Explorer is gone

June 13, 2008

I had downloaded IE 7 from MS website, but so many miseries occurred with my

system, I un-installed it in Control Panel ... now there is no IE at all.

What do I do?

June 13, 2008

Re: Internet Explorer is gone

Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components: Is IE enabled (checked)

here?

Does C:|Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE <=this file exist?

Start | Run | IEXPLORE.EXE | OK => what happens?

Do you use a Registry cleaner?

That should *not* be possible! Uninstalling IE7 from the control panel

applet should simply roll back the installation and leave you with

IE6.

Have you tried a repair install of XP?

Re: Internet Explorer is gone

No browser -- no IE 6 on SEARCH. on Run nothing happens but a bump on my

monitor ...

I have OneCare on my desk top -- isn't that a registry cleaner, too??

IEXPLORE.EXE yes, as IE7 only -- did SEARCH for same with no results.

In that case, the best thing to do, if you can, is to "slipstream" your copy

of SP2 onto a copy of your XP CD. By "if you can", I'm referring to some,

not all, OEM XP install CDs that have other updates incorporated and won't

slipstream. Thankfully, these aren't really common; I've only run into

them as DELL cds.

Google "Slipstream XP" and "autostreamer" to get further. You may need to

do this on another system, and you may need some help.

THen you can do the repair install, and the service pack will be

incorporated.

You might also use another system to download Firefox to a USB stick or CD,

and install that to get yourself a browser so you can get a bit further

without the repair install.

Re: Internet Explorer is gone

Great! I have to use adaptive software on the computer due to being blind

....

But, I went ahead and did a SysRestrore back to 5/31 --- took 2 boots for

thing to "click" without jumping and dying but it worked ... so far.

haven't a clue about slipstreaming ... heavens.

My XP Pro CD reported: "Setup cannot continue because the version of

Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.

Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is

currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be

recovered."

How on earth, or when, did that happen? Does IE 7 slip another v. of Windows

in on us?

Not sure system's safe right now ... worrying.
