How can i reinstall internet explorer

Hi Leo.. Thanks for your comments — very helpful indeed! However, here is a little glitch that I found … My laptop had become horribly slow, and I was running both Chrome and IE I like Chrome at least, I like it on my laptop, but it is not too reliable on my android phone!

Anyway, I got the crazy idea to delete IE11 after trying all the other fixes to speed up my laptop sort of thinking I knew what I was doing!! So, I did it holding my breath. All was well. But, I now find that I would like to have IE11 back again.

Any ideas? I am having the same problem. Windows Live Mail stopped working. I tried to open IE 11 and it opened for a split second and closed again immediately. I tried to turn off and turn on again in Windows features. I am frustrated because I can only receive email on Windows Live Mail. Thank you so much for this article. Thank you so much for this. I was unable to download chrome or any other browser.

What can I do?? Run up to date scans. I have completely lost all internet icons off my laptop. Now that Google Chrome has taken over my computer unsolicited my internet explorer browser will not open. Sounds like what you mean has happened is that Google Chrome has become your default browser. Open Internet Explorer 2. I installed windows Then changed the browser back to internet explorer.

Now the computer screen wont display anything. I can hear it open but nothing on the display. Changing the browser to IE should not have caused something like this to happen.

I was told to try turning off IE 9 as its only an upgrade and its really IE 8 so I did by using windows features off and on. System restore or a restore from backup. As you say I can live without it, as so many do, but would it be better for upgrading to 10 to have it somewhere?

Just return my computer back to the way it was. After finding that Chrome worked satisfactorily, I used this process and now IE is gone. Neither Outlook nor Excel will work without it.

I cannot download a new copy of any version of IE…the process never completes. I have tried everything including a clean boot. The people who installed Windows 7 64bit professional, German on my virgin hard drive did not install or at least, did not activate! Internet Explorer, only Firefox. So I subsequently downloaded and installed I.

Not having yet discovered and read your article, I assumed that any Internet Explorer directories I found had all been created when I myself had downloaded and installed I. Some Internet Explorer files and directories, however, could not be erased. I finally also did a system restore. So I similarly uninstalled and deleted as many of its traces as I could. And I then again tried to re-install the same copy of Internet Explorer 11 which I had previously downloaded and saved a backup copy of before running and installing it, just two weeks previously.

But now, the installation failed to complete, and instead gave me an error message, and every time I try to run a new installer of what purports to be the latest version of Internet Explorer 11! I only ever get the following message:. Setup kann nicht fortgesetzt werden. Setup cannot be continued because a more recent version of Internet explorer is installed on the computer. But i do need this ie to work please help. I can not install any of the versions available either says your computer in incompatible with this version or another error message.

Please help i wish i had not done the uncheck. You might want to do a system image backup of your machine first. Not that the odds of a damaging your system is high if you do that. I have lost all my internet connections?

Is there a way to reinstall them? Leo, thanks for your reply. If you have a license, you can download Windows 7, 8. I updated Windows 10 and for whatever reason Internet Explorer was turned off.

I called Microsoft Support and they were of no help whatsoever. Turns out I did have IE, but it was turned off. The only reason I figured this out was because of your help above so thanks again!!
