Windows 7 Internet Explorer Won't Open!

[michaelvvmm]

I would download IE7 and run it on top of the current install, and that may rebuild the install. I have done that several times and work to fix issues like this.

Do I uninstall ie7 after that? Do any of you guys have windows 7?

Dont try to install IE7, it wont work, and Yes I'm on Win7

I have windows 7. I am saying i would try install IE7 ontop of the current install it. The install should go in and rebuild the file structure. No need to uninstall anything.

Go thru the process again of removing IE8, reboot and then install it again, reboot and then try again.

Same thing where you uncheck it and recheck after it reboots?

Trying to instal IE7 on Windows 7 will result in this error, which I just now did to show you all.

ah ok, yea I should not have assumed that this would have worked with Windows 7 when I got it to work on XP. I have IE8 on W7.

Ok well then yes, go thru that process and see what happens.

Just for the heck of it, I downloaded IE8 for Vista via Soft Pedia and it reinstalled IE8.

You can give that a try as well.

The only thing about this is Softpedia brands this installation with "Windows Internet Explorer provided by Softpedia" But all you need to do is open regedit, search for Provided by softpedia, then click on Window Title and rename it to whatever you want.

As you can see below, I changed it to Provided by Osiris
