Lantom Posted March 31, 2005 CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hey: What a problem.... OK I can't get IE to launch. When I use the standard icons it doesn't launch. I found a way into it by asking msm for a windows update and then using that window for IE. What I have done. 1) Run AVG professional (Nothing found.) 2) Run Webroots Spysweeper (Nothing unusual found) 3) Run Webroots window washer. (Nothing unusual and shouldn't really matter.) 4) Reset IE defaults (No luck) 5) Cold Reboot (No Luck) 6) Unstalled IE, cold boot, reinstalled IE (No luck) Also, when I shut down system it shows each instance of my trying to launch IE as a non responsive program. They DO NOT however show up in the task manager. OK, you all are much brighter than me, whats next? Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xs1 Posted March 31, 2005 CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 or you can try this. Just unzip it, click on it itll ask you to install the new registry keys.. Agree, reboot and retry IE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantom Posted March 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hey S1: Still no love..... 1) Used your reg download and no change. 2) Tried to download IE from MS and install, said it already saw newer version on system and halted install. 3) Going to try the download link you sent, but I think it's sp1 vs. sp2 so not sure were to find IE sp2 only. Keep the ideas coming. Also even getting in this way isn't totally stable. Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantom Posted March 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hey: ignore the link comment you didn't send one for IE itself, but I got it off the ms website so should have been good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantom Posted March 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hey: One more thing. When I use windows add/remove components it really doesn't seem like it's getting IE out. removes desktop access but I think it's still installed. Any way to wipe it out so I can truely start over with ie? Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted March 31, 2005 CID Share Posted March 31, 2005 Even if you get all the files off.. youll still have the registry keys. Id search microsoft.com a bit to find out how to shut up the " newer version" thing. I had to do it once, i installed a custom version of XP i made, and didnt think i needed IE. ... very bad idea.. very bad.. Anyway i got the same error, and after checking the site it told me how to shut that message up and install IE6 correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
