IE9 won't run and won't reinstall
When I opened IE9 it would always hang, never giving me the ability to disable add-ons or return to default settings. (I am running Windows 7 64-bit OS).
STEP ONE: I went to the MS website and downloaded IE9. I began with 32-bit thinking it would be more stable, but it gave a message saying it wouldn't run on my version of windows. So I downloaded 64-bit, and tried to install. I got a message saying that the version on my machine was later than the version I was trying to install and it wouldn't let me proceed. Huh??? Surely not? But it gets stranger.
STEP TWO: I uninstalled IE9 in control panel and rebooted. Surprisingly IE9 was still there after reboot, even though I had uninstalled it and a check of Control Panel no longer showed it as installed. Huh??? OK, it is getting close to Halloween, I admit.
STEP THREE: I went back to the website and tried to download and install IE9. It gave me a message that Internet Explorer did not finish installing.
So if I can't install, I can't uninstall in order to reinstall, and I can't repair, how do I fix this? It's got me perplexed!
