My IE is being stupid, I use mozilla primarily but sometimes have to use IE for certain websites (like my school hw....) anyways its messing up not displaying pictures and just not opening up sites all the way for some reason. How do I completely uninstall it then re-install it?? Thanks

You have to reinstall windows for that. thats what I was told.

You should be able to uninstall it from the control panel, add remove programs, windows components. I never tried it, but I know the option is there.

Internet Explorer usually won't be in Add/Remove programs since it is an integral part of the OS.

Are you using IE6 (

) or IE7?

If still 6, go to the Microsoft update page and install IE7.

If already at 7, Get a Mac

j/k

HERE is the official Microsoft recommendation for repairing/reinstalling Internet Exploder.

Seriously though, have you tried the ActiveX plugin for Firefox?

Also might want to try Opera browser. It works pretty good at displaying IE centric pages.

Good Luck!

Mozilla Firefox FTMFW!!

But you could try to download a version from Microsoft's page and install it manually. Should replace the current version (even if newer/same) and eliminate the bug.
