Internet explorer in the desktop

When I click on the tile for Internet Explorer on my windows startup page 8, it opens on my desk, rather than as a page on its own that it was - how to restore this? If I restore to factory settings, is it wipe out new data (eg. people information, stored emails etc) I entered on the computer?

First to answer your last question: Yes.  If you factory restore, it resets your computer back to how it was when you first opened the box. It is completely and totally erased, nothing.  Just as you first bought at the store.  That's why they call it a factory reset.

As for your question of Internet Explorer, you can have it open in the modern interface still going in your Internet Options (menu Tools of Internet Explorer).  The tab programs, choose how you want Internet Explorer to open it.

Also while you are on the Internet Options / Programs tab, go to 'Set the programs' and make sure that Internet Explorer is your default browser. It must be the value by default if you want to use from the start page.

    Hello

    1. are you able to use with other applications that connect to the Internet?

    2. when exactly you get this error message?

    3. should we come up with any specific Web site?

    4. what version of Internet Explore do you use?

    I suggest you follow the methods listed in order of appearance in the following Microsoft KB article:

    How to optimize Internet Explorer:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936213/no

    Important: Reset Internet Explorer to 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.

  • Why, when I have an IE open, I 2-3 instances of Internet Explorer in the taskbar?

    Thought it was weird, I wonder if I have a Trojan or something...

    Hi neilanderthal,
     
    -Are you referring to the entries in Internet Explorer in the Task Manager or the task bar?
     
    If you are referring to the Task Manager, a process is for the program and one for the responsible tab.
     
    This has to do with the added tab recovery feature that prevents the entire application to plant based on a single page allowing you to continue to use the other tabs. It is a normal behavior.

    V22 Firefox since July 19 could not open emails or look in the folders in MS outlook. Internet Explorer works well. I reinstalled firefox v22 but no change

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.
