    There's another thread about that specific problem, you could try what's suggested there: https://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-...displayed.html

    Apparently it required an IE reset and deleting some add-ons in that case.

    hey I found something else that wanted me to run some commands in the cmd prompt, and apparently my os was missing some files, so i just reinstalled windows, which solved the problem. Windows must not have installed properly the first time. I am going to mark this file as solved, and thanks so much for your help :) it was much appreciated!

    Missing files, that was surprising. But nice to hear you solved it :)

    "just reinstalled windows" that's a big task for many others

    well technically I upgraded windows 7 to windows 7, in that managing to keep all my files and settings intact. It was some dlls that were not there, which pushed me to realize it was a windows problem. But thanks anyway!
