  Hey Juliette l.

  1. What is the message error that you receive on the Internet Explore after having installed the updates?

  There are many reasons why internet Explorer would not work after the installation of update Windows.

  I suggest that you install the update again and check if the problem persists, try the procedure if the problem below.

  Method 1

  Check if Add-ons on Internet Explore are causing the error. I suggest you try opening Internet Explore mode without modules.

  (a) click the Start button, click all programs, and click Accessories

  (b) click System Tools, click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

  How the modules of the browser affect my computer?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-browser-add-ons-affect-my-computer

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then try to reset the internet settings explore by default and check.

  For more information please visit the link below.

  How to reset Internet Explorer settings

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923737

  Important: Reset Internet explore its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled.

  I hope this helps!

• Computer slows way down after trying to open internet explorer, then will not be closed.

  I look through the posts and have not found someone who had my same problem still. I hope someone can help me. A few weeks ago, I bought a new gateway laptop and it has Windows 7. It works great until a few days ago. Day before yesterday, I tried to open Internet Explorer 8 and I just got a white screen with the border of IE, but it did not open a page or anything like that. I opened the Task Manager and allows to close the IE. I had that happen in the past (in XP) when I tried to open internet until the computer is carried out all the stuff at the start of the loading. Thinking that was the problem, I tried to open IE again. This time I just got the little thing of circle of rotation for a few seconds, as he was trying to do something, but nothing happened. I then tried to restart the computer. He says "disconnect" for a few minutes, then "shutting down" for about half an hour until I finally pressed right on the power button to turn it off. I have it turned on and had the same problem again. I even tried to open another program (Word) to see if it would work. Finally opened, it was ridiculously slow. I checked the process and it is said there are CPU usage 0. However, he acts like something using all the memory. My next step was to remove the battery. I took it out for a few minutes, restarted in safe mode, and the computer works perfectly. I then restarted it regularly. It seemed to work fine. I opened Word again and she appeared right as usual. So then I tried to open internet. I had the same problem as before, and then the computer slowed to a crawl and would not shut down. Thinking maybe it was just IE, I rebooted in safe mode with network and my internet works perfectly. I downloaded Firefox (in safe mode), perhaps hoping it would work. But when I rebooted, I always had the same problem. Everything worked fine when I got it in safe mode, even on the internet. If someone has had this problem before, please help! I just bought the computer a few weeks ago and it's very frustrating.

  Hi tonirose19

  ·         As the problem does not occur in safe mode, try to start the computer to the boot in order to check if any third-party application is causing the problem. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Steps to perform the clean boot and check if you have the problem.

  i. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  II. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  III. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  IV. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.

  v. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.

  VI. click OK.

  VII. When you are prompted, click restart.

  VIII. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  If the problem is resolved check what third party causing the problem, referring to the link given below: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  i. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

  II. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  III. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

  IV. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.

• Can I get Internet Explorer and Firefox both on my laptop?

  Can I have Internet Explorer and Firefox on my laptop and be able to use either one, and if so, what are the disadvantages?

  Hello DeseretRat, yes it is possible and should not have problems - you just choose one of the two default browser (which opens the links from external applications).

• When I download an update for a program it opens Internet Explorer and not Firefox

  Firefox is always kept open on my PC. When I have an update of the program, I accept that but then Internet Explorer opens for me to download the update. It would normally usually Firefox. Why opens Internet Explorer and not open in Firefox as per normal?

  Which depends on the program involved. Some programs will use the default browser , that the user has defined in preferences, while others will use the browser that comes with the operating system. IE in the case of Safari on Mac and Windows.

  You have Firefox set as default browser in Vista?
  
  Access to programs and default settings in Vista, IIRC.

• I have Windows xp, how to remove or delete a contextual area about the Windows Installer which appears unwsolicited when I open Internet Explorer

  Boxc contextual of Windows Explorer is displayed when I open Internet Explorer... it does not cancel - runs a secondary Windows Installer box.   I have to go through the process to attempt to cancel the boxes about 3 times before finally disappears and allows me to use my browser.

  Hi LeonCollins,

  1. What is the full error message you get?

  2 this only happens with Internet Explorer, or when opening other programs?

  You can try these steps and see if it helps.

  Method 1: Reregister the Installer engine.

  a. Click Start, click Run and then type cmd in the dialog box, and then click command prompt.

  b. at the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER after each line:

  MSIExec /Unregister

  MSIExec/regserver

  Method 2: Check your version of Windows Installer and upgrade to the latest version if it is needed.

  a. Click Start, type cmd in the search box or click Run then type services.msc in the dialog box and then press ENTER to open a command prompt window.

  b. at the command prompt, type MSIExec and then press ENTER. If the MSI engine works, there should be no error message, and should open a separate dialog box. This shows the MSI version.

  If the version of the installer is not version 4.5, see the following article in the Knowledge Base Microsoft for more information and a link to download Windows install 4.5:

  942288 Windows Installer 4.5 is available

  Try to install or to uninstall again.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead?

  Can I remove internet explore and use chrome instead? That is, crashes, to stop, resarts and slows my computor. I installed Google Chrome and have had no more problems. It opens and closes when I want it and going to the Web pages as I type in without hesitation. I like windows 7, I only have a problem with Internet Explore. It also caused changes in my modem. I need to uninstall the software and reinstall to get it working again. IO would open that is and get a message that says "no internet access - check your settings, I thought it was a virus at some point. As soon as I started using Chrome, everything worked again. That is also caused problems with my printer and home network. I don't mind that is being stored in a file, I don't want to work and make changes to my computer I'm not an it expert by any means. I restored my pc to an earlier time and new conditions of factory several times in the past year (I bought the HP pc new in December 2010).

  It is not really a way to remove Internet Explorer.  I have not heard of the type of problems, you had with IE, but if you prefer Chrome and who works for you, all you need to do is to make Chrome the default browser.  I use Firefox and make it my default browser.  Once you make Chrome default you just leave Internet Explorer installed but it won't get used.  Following comes the site help Chrome and tells how to do it by default: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95417
