I have I/E 9.0.8112 installed. It will no longer come up when I click on it. I have tried to download I/E 9, get message that newer version is installed. I have gone to 'installed updates' on the control panel but found no I/E updates, I have searched with Google for potential solutions; no luck. what i would like to do is install a new copy of I/E but don't know how

With ie10 being released as a Important windows update for the last couple of weeks/ possibly more for some regions it's more than likely ie10 was loaded on you,
Delete your browser history,
Click the Start button and click on Control panel/ Internet options/ General section/ Delete button,
Check All of the boxes and Uncheck the very top box,
Click on Delete.

Reset ie9 or ie10 manually,
Click the Start button on the Taskbar,
Click on Control panel,
Click on Internet options,
Go to the Advanced section,
Click on Reset button on the bottom,
Check the box to Delete personal settings,
Use the recommended setup and install options.
Shut down your machine.
If nothing positive happens,
Change Windows update settings first,
Click the Start button and click on Control panel,
Click on Windows update or System and security depending on how the Page view is,
Then click on Change settings either on the Left column or under System and security,
Then you will see this page where you'll need to alter the way you receive Windows updates,

You can leave the windows update setting the way it is or change it back to default,
