internet explorer not working

[Sundippan]

when i open an internet explorer i get this "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" no matte what page i try to open.

my internet is working fine because i'm using google chrome rite now and its working fine, but internet explorer isn't. i was wondering if i could reinstall it?
so i went to Control panel> Uninstall Programs. and i didn't see internet explorer in the list, not even in Updates....?????

I don't believe it is possible in load 7000, but it is possible in some later loads:

AeroXperience » Blog Archive » Internet Explorer 8 can be removed from Windows 7

You could try doing a reset of IE. Open internet options/advanced tab and hit the reset button. Warning: this will remove all add-ins and reset all security settings, but then so would a reinstall.

i try everything....the only thing i could think of doing is reinstalling it...how can i reinstall internet explorer...

 

[garysgold]

Only things I can think to do if reset didn't work is either using a system restore to a point before this started (info here if needed. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html), or doing a repair install.

Have you checked to make sure your security in IE isnt set to high or that your settings in tools > options > connections looks correct?

i can't restore to earlier point....b/c it doesn't go that far...i remember i install a program from driverzone.com but i uninstall it and after that my IE stop working....

how can i repair reinstall???

Only way I know is to do a repair install of 7. Info here if needed: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

I think I'd try a system file check first though. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

I had the same problem - this might be a solution

Hi,

Try the following:

Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings - Uncheck the "Automatically detect settings" box. This worked for me

Kind regards,

Jan Petter

Thanks!

My beta machine just started displaying this behavior today. That IIS option was set by default the whole time. I've spent the last few hours beating my head against the wall because IP connectivity, ping, nslookup, certain Inet calls that don't traverse IE all worked. Not to mention my vista machine sitting right next to me.

It is really wierd that this just became an issue today, but thanks for ending my insanity.

Worked for me, too! Thanks, I spend hours trying to fix it. It wouldn't let me load lyrics from winamp, which is how I learned of the IE problem. Firefox FTW. Otherwise Win 7 is wonderful.

Internet Explorer May Need Updation

Have you chekked that if your internat explorer is updated or not? if not check for system update or try to enable ActiveX Control in Internet Explorer
