I'm not convinced that Internet Explorer has actually been deleted. I was always told you couldn't delete it as it was integrated into the rest of windows.

I can understand that you home page might have gone - this is simply held as a cookie and is not part of the main Explorer program


Edgar,

You say you can get on to the intenet - what is on your screen when you do this?

Are you able to run anything which looks remotely like a browser? This is why I was asking the question yesterday as to what it says in the blue band top of screen. Is there any mention of Internet Explorer? Are there any action buttons visible?

If IE has been corrupted, as it the most likely cause, then it might be possible to fix it by restoring to a previous good installation, but this will only work if you a suitable restore point to go back to.

If this isn't possible then try to repair things using the original installation disk.

If all else fails, you may need to consider a new clean install. Down side of this is that any other programs on your pc will be lost and will require a re-installation. You will also need to ensure that all your data files are backed up safely.

I have not heard of being able to copy IE from one PC and successfully install it on another, because of the way it is integrated into windows and is not simply a stand alone program, but will be happy to hear if anyone has achieved it

Many thanks everybody. I have managed to sort it? just cannot
accsess internet options for the moment.? Once again thanks for your time

Edgar

Glad to hear you are getting there. Can you briefly explain what you needed to do?

Might be of help to others in future.
