IE9 problems

aftermath · 26 Oct 2011

That is precisely what my problem was. I uninstalled IE9 and tried to reinstall it. The install failed to complete. Even Windows Updatewould not istall it. I am now using IE8, and I am experiencing the same problems with IE8 as I did with IE9. I am completely out of possible solutions, and I cannot get any results from any of the suggestions I have found on Google or this Forum. I am now using Firefox as my default browse and am not experiencing any problems. However, I would like to find a solution to repair IE.

Hmmm.

Well it's not a user account problem as I created a new profile, logged on with that and the problem persisted.

I forgot I have a 64 bit IE on my PC as well. It seems to work fine with the problem limited to the 32 bit version of IE.

Seems like one or two people found a fix. But I'd read the whole page before trying anything. Might also help to at least back up registry with a restore point as it looks like a .reg file is used in the fix or work-around:

Did that and it led me to this page: Internet Explorer FAQ - Repair IE8 (IE7) and IE9

I tried all the suggestions and I still have the problem. I switched browsers to Google Chrome, and all the links and pages work with this browser.

At first this fix didn't work and I was about to give up all hope, then I read about one crucial point - don't run IE between booting the computer and running this script.

Reboot computer
<Do not launch IE>
Run this script as an administrator
Reboot computer

I am now able to open a link in a new tab as well as in a new window. Pop ups work OK too now.

I have tried all that was suggested and still have the same problem.

Can you get a process monitor log of the problem occurring? Download/run procmon (it starts logging immediately when launched), reproduce the issue, and go back to procmon and save the log (defaults are fine). 7zip or RAR the resulting .pml log file somewhere, and we can have a look.
