Topic: IE problems

[IAF Lyrkiller]

I am having trouble w/ IE. And the problem is that it will try to load the page and give the standard error

cant find the page type error. I have already uninstall and reinstall IE w/ no luck. twice.

And yes I will have to reinstall windows if I have to if the iss is not solvable.

I will try to do a system restore and see if that works. Otherwise....

thank you.

Hmmm, tough one. Where's Pestalence? Dangnabbit!

You try a "Tools...Internet Options...Advanced Tab...Restore Defaults Button"?

[Javora]

How exactly did you uninstall IE?  What operating system are you using?  What type of internet connection do you have?  If you are using some sort of broadband do you use a router and what kind?  Does Email work?

Give us a little more information and I'm sure someone will try to help.

This almost sounds like a DNS faliure

[Mr_Tricorder]

Do you have an alternate browser?  If so, does it work?

You uninstalled IE? Are you European per chance?

I have an IE issue too, although it isn't as bad.

I did a spyware removal because I got a nastsy application that kept renaming itself everytime I rebooted. Now I can't use the IE web browser to Search anymore. I get the standard:

message. My other browsers work fine. Since when was IE considered spyware?



EDIT:

Just tried Bonk's suggestion "You try a "Tools...Internet Options...Advanced Tab...Restore Defaults Button"?"

It restored the Explorer icon on my desktop (the one they don't let you throw away), but still no Search function.

Corbo, this is what I was exactly getting. Just could not put it into the right words.

I will try that and see if that works, Bonk.

Do you have an alternate browser? If so, does it work?

Yes, AOLHell browser works and SUCKS the big one.

Nein.

[Bonk]

Ah, which spyware removal did you guys use?

It probably disabled the built in search of IE as I think it is spyware.

Try Google. Or restore MS's big brother search function from your spyware removal utility.

[IAF Lyrkiller]

I will have to wait when i get home to try those things out.

I will let you know how it goes.

If you are talking about Webhancer, yeah I think it deleted it. The program I have is called Spy Catcher. The box said it is used by the DoD so I figured it would be a good one. I guess it was too good! LOL!

[toasty0]

You should be able to insert your XPpro/home disc and select repair if IE has gotten flumuxed. You'll pro'ly have to reinstall some updates afetrward though.

Bonk, you hit the nail right on the head. +1 to you.

So I just uninstalled it and everything is fine and dandy.

[Bonk]

Cool! Use only Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy or the MS Anti-Spyware beta for antispyware I cannot reccomend any others, in fact many of the others are spyware/malware themselves.

[E_Look]

Any of you guys ever heard of a commercial antispyware package called Spy Sweeper?  You can buy it from stores.  I know one guy who uses it and loves it, even though I never had heard of, I did suggest that he be certain it's not spyware itself.
