IE11 it's a long story

I am on W7 and have the original discs without SP1 (or whatever it was
called). I also have Office 2010 installed.
While installing IE from windows update, something went wrong.
Let me say at this point that I don't use IE as my default browser, but
I can access IE 'settings' by going via IEtab in both Firefox and Chrome.
However when I attempt to use Outlook or Access I get a message saying
that I need IE 4.01 or later.
If I attempt to use IE11 32 or 64 versions the window (border) opens
then I get an error message saying that IE has stopped working and
window is trying to find the solution and if I cancel this it happens a
second time.
I have taken advice in both the IE and Outlook newsgroups, I have used
the various fix-its supplied by MS, I have tried uninstalling recent
updates. If I try to install IE11 from a download I am told that a more
recent version exists.
At one point I was able to re-set to default, but it didn't really help.
Now I cannot get Internet Options to respond even by going directly
through Control Panel.
I can see a complete reinstall on the horizon, but I have so much stuff
installed I am petrified at the thought.

I just repaired a machine with a similar problem.

IE worked fine from another profile so I ended up creating one
additional profile and once I confirmed it worked and put all the data
in the right place....deleted to corrupt profile.

First thing I'd try is to create another administrative profile and see
if IE works there.

As an alternative...System Restore back to a point before the problem
started.

I just created a new profile. I can get IE to open, but without
toolbars.
When I close it I get the message problem starting
C:\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl

Have you done all the Office 2010 updates that are offered at windows
update time?

I have the a similar set up as you but have not encountered to same
problem. IE 10 did however refuse to download anything a few months
ago. I uninstalled IE 10 and went back to version 9. Windows update
then offered both IE10 AND IE11 as updates. I updated to IE10 and
checked it was working ok, rebooted then installed IE11 from windows
update. Everything has been fine since.

I am running windows7 64bit, IE11 64bit, but all Office 2010 parts are
installed as 32bit. There are issues with Access 64bit so that is why
I am using 32bit.

Everything is fully up to date.
I tried going back to earlier versions of IE without success, but
that was probably my incompetency.

You could uninstall IE using Revo uninstaller which will take you back
to version 9. Then update in stages, IE10 first, check it, then IE11.
It is recommended to do it from the windows updates though.
Free version of Revo

I'd do a thorough virus and malware check and if you are sure your

Then you need to create a new install DVD with sp1 slipstreamed into it

For Windows 7, you can download a DVD from digitalriver. A Win7 SP1 DVD.

My laptop originally had an Acer OEM OS on it.
Using a downloaded Home Premium DVD, the key from the COA
on the laptop, I was able to install a clean OS with the disc.
Activation required a phone call (automated answering system).

That's an alternative to a DIY DVD.

In my case, the ISO was X17-24209.iso from digitalriver.

My Revo Uninstaller doesn't even show IE. I think because it was a
Windows Update. Right now I can only uninstall IE 11 from update.
Not having any problems.

You are correct Ken, I remember now, I did uninstall it from the
windows installed updates window.

It won't do that either. It starts and about 3/4 the way through it
gives an error - not all updates removed - or somesuch.

I did a Google search repair internet explorer . It came up with a
load of hits. Maybe ?


KenW

Think I've been there and dunnit :-(
My best bet seems the Slipstreaming suggestion or downloading the DVD
suggested elsewhere or find a friend with a recent W7 disc.
This has been going on some weeks, but I keep losing the will to pursue
it :-)
