Internet Explorer problems...Surprise Surprise.

[SOD'EM]

I am trying to uninstall I Explorer from a friends laptop as it won't start properly. I have managed to install Firefox using my pen drive but I still want to uninstall and reinstall I Explorer. I know Firefox is better but I want them to keep I Explorer as a back up.

 

Unfortunately, I cannot uninstall it, even when I use CCleaner tools.

 

Any Ideas?

I forgot about crapcleaner!! If you want a backup why not download opera too?

I like Chrome. Its very good, worth a try

did you try running IE without add-ons first and reset it defaults? Type 'iexplore -extoff' in the start menu (start>run if xp) I wouldn't recommend not having IE on your computer, many websites are still optimized for IE and sometimes others browsers won't work properly. It's always good just to have it as backup.

Have to agree with this... some microsoft updates are only available downloading through IE at present.

Quite an old thread, but just to add... IE 9 seems a lot nicer!
