My wife as accidentley removed internet explorer of my pc i can connect to the internet but not to my home page or any sites my toolbars have gone etc anybody any idea on how i can reinstall it i just cannot find anywhere to re install it can anybody help i am using my wifes laptop at the moment

Can you try googling for internet explorer and reinstalling it

hi everybody she was deleting it from the control panel i can accsess no sites at all not even google to download internet explorer also tried system restore

Silly question I know but --

is it IE that has been deleted or just the shortcut to it on the desktop?

Jim

i do have a set up disc when we got the pc its Xp, was thinking of trying to download explorer on to a memory stick from wifes pc and reloading it on to mine will that work do you think

Are you sure it was internet Explorer that has been removed? If so, how are you accessing the internet?

What does it say top left in the blue bar at the very top of the screen?

I'd just get a man in!

Before we get a man in lets just try and work out what has happened here.

Clearly if Edgar can access the internet he must have a browser installed so it is unlikely IE has been removed, hence my question earlier.

Try holding down,
ctrl+windows on keyboard this should bring up start menu,,from there go into control panel and click Internet Options,,you should be able to sort it from the tab,Programes to make IE default,,,but if your not sure let a shop reinstate it,,

Ooops! my mistake, but he did say he was able to get on to the internet.

I was wondering how he was managing to do this?

I think he's online using a laptop - says that somewhere.

On your laptop download IE8 from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx

Save it to you desktop and then put it on cd or USB stick and transfer it to your other pc. Run it on there and it should install IE8 onto your other PC.

Hope this helps!

2 things:

1)Have you looked in the recycle bin?

2)Click Start -> Run and type: iexplore.exe

What happens?

Rose

Dont know if this helps ?

Hi Edgar
I am not an expert but when my neighbour messed up on her computer I clicked onto System Restore for her. It then asks if you want to go further back than 5 days, if this is the case , tick accordingly and then click onto the date when your computer was ok. Her computer then started up on its own and unjammed her 61 requests to print and whatever she had done at it .-JLe
