Internet Explorer

The grimlins are back! How do I take MS internet Explorer off my computer completely? I would like to erase all remnants & down load a new one to see if this would fix the problems I been having. I went to add/remove but there is no listing for IE. I think I may be running a mixture of versions of IE.

Thanks.

    You can't remove IE. You may want to try reinstalling your operating system which should eliminate any problems caused by corrupted files. You can also try Windows Update right away to upgrade IE to the latest version. The updated IE, but not the version shipped with ME, will appear in the list of installed programs only if you elect to keep the files necessary to unistall IE when upgrading.

    Hi,

    I was having a problem with my internet explorer also. I have WIN98, go to support.microsoft.com in another browser.(ex. AOL). Run the Windows Update program. Download the Critical updates program ( I hadn't done it since before March 4, 2002). It seems to be working ok now. You have to restart your computer after the download.

    Hope it helps.

    Linda

    What version of IE are you running? If it's the original version that came with Windows ME, you can try upgrading to IE 6.0, which can be downloaded from Microsoft. If you've upgraded, you should have a listing for IE in add/remove, usually listed as "Microsoft Internet Explorer". If you find that, highlight it, click add/remove, then select repair. You can also see if the info. in this Dell Knowledge Base Article is relevant if that entry is not there: http://support.dell.com/us/en/kb/document.asp?DN=1032141
