I think I know what the issue is here (at least it is for me) (Winetricks could benefit from an option to 'reinstall' or clear cache etc. IMO) Work around: Close all wine programs. Rename your.wine folder to.winebak (or whatever you'd prefer) then remove all instances of wine AND winetricks under the software center. Re-install the latest wine which should also install winetricks for you. Enter wineconfig and ensure that the default operating environment is set to Win XP!!! (IE 8 is designed for XP, not vista/win7).
Run winetricks, select the default prefix and choose 'install a windows component or dll' scroll to ie8 and check the box, then click OK. Ie8 should install ok now.
Can I install Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 10? First, just in case you haven't found IE11 and think that you only have Edge. You also have IE11 installed on Windows 10 and can use IE11 instead of Edge. If you are using Edge and want to use IE11, click on the 3 dots at the upper right corner and select Open with Internet Explorer.
How to put an IE icon on the Desktop Other options: Type Internet Explorer into the search box at the bottom of the screen. Find Internet Explorer in the list of results, right-click it to either Pin to taskbar or Pin to Start.
To make IE the default browser: Start button Settings System left side menu, select Default Apps then select Set Defaults by App. Select Internet Explorer. - - - - - - If one or more websites aren't working with Edge or IE11, Compatibility View may help.
From IE Tools (or Alt + t) Compatibility View Settings, place the site in the list. If Compatibility View does not resolve the issue, you can use Developer tool to emulate/spoof another version of Internet Explorer. Use the F12 key to open Developer Tool and click on Emulation then select another version of Internet Explorer in the User Agent String box. The emulation/User Agent spoof will only last while the Developer Tool window is open. You can minimize Developer Tool, but can't close it until you're leaving the affected site.
Internet Explorer is an odd beast. Treated like an application, it’s also considered a Windows component. In fact, it’s such a component of Windows that you may be able to make the shortcuts and icons related to IE go away, but you can never really get rid of everything. Some components simply are parts of Windows. Unfortunately, there are times when we’d really like to treat it like a “normal” application. Specifically, it would be good to be able to uninstall it completely and then reinstall it from scratch. While we can’t do exactly that, I’ll walk you through what we can do that gets us fairly close; as close as we can get without reinstalling Windows itself, anyway.
Become a and go ad-free! It starts in Control Panel In Control Panel, look for Add/Remove Programs or simply Programs: Right from the start, Internet Explorer diverges from being a normal application. Click Turn Windows features on or off, as Internet Explorer is considered a Windows’ feature. Uncheck Internet Explorer in the resulting list. This will trigger a warning: I honestly don’t know how severe the consequences really are. My guess is that as long as you have another browser installed, you’d be completely fine to uninstall IE and leave it uninstalled. The components that Windows itself needs will remain installed.
On the other hand, if you don’t have another browser, you’d have a bit of a problem and would need to either immediately reinstall IE or somehow get another browser onto your machine. It doesn’t really matter in the long term because we’re just going to turn it back on again in a moment. So, click Yes.
That’s pretty much it. Internet Explorer will have disappeared from your Start menu and desktop, and those components which aren’t required by Windows itself will have been removed. Reinstalling, approach 1 The first approach to reinstalling Internet Explorer is actually almost the exact reverse of what we just did. Go back to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Turn Windows features on or off, and in there, check the Internet Explorer box. Click OK and Internet Explorer should be reinstalled. This approach may require that you have installation media, or it may attempt to download what it needs from the internet. I prefer a different approach.
Reinstalling, approach 2 This technique actually requires that you have a different browser installed on your machine before you uninstall IE. I happen to have Chrome.
Visit the at Microsoft.com and download the latest version of IE from there. Be sure to uncheck the “I would also like Bing and MSN defaults” unless you really want those defaults and then click the Get button.
Run the resulting download. What actually gets downloaded at this point is a stub installer that then downloads the appropriate files for your computer. Eventually, after all the required files are downloaded and installed, it’s extremely likely that you’ll need to: Internet Explorer returns After the install and reboot, the IE icons will return to the Start menu and Internet Explorer will be available once again.
I believe (but cannot guarantee) that even though you uninstalled and reinstalled IE, basic settings that still apply will be preserved if you happen to upgrade the version of Internet Explorer as I did here. If you end up installing the same version again, I’d expect the chances to be even higher that everything will be as you left it. And hopefully, this process has resolved (or at least altered) whatever problem it was that caused you to want to reinstall Internet Explorer in the first place. I am using IE9 on WIndows 7 64 bit. Upgraded to IE10 some time ago but it was intermittant and so I uninstalled it. I think I used method 1 as you suggest. I also think I got the opportunity to revert to IE9.
Recently I accepted an offer to upgrade to ‘IE10 Powered by Yahoo’ It too was intermittant so I reverted to IE9 again. This time I saw a Microsoft comment that IE10 comes as an update, so I clicked that option on ‘Uninstall Program’, went to Microsoft and downloaded IE9. Any ideas why IE10 would give me problems? Mostly it stops responding. Yes indeed, I’ve gotten those “not responding” messages more than twice. My Dell laptop had both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of Internet Explorer, and so did at least one of the Lenovo Thinkpads for my volunteer job.
That one might still have 2 versions of IE, but I honestly gave up using those machines because I was experiencing a lot of issues with the 2 screen readers I use. My question is, is it normal behavior for both a 64-bit and a 32-bit version of IE to be on a machine at a given time? Hope this is not too off-topic. I will definitely try upgrading IE on my desktop PC and see what happens. I also have Firefox on here, I think the latest version but I’m not sure.
In addition I use the System Access Mobile Network browser, which is a Serotek thing and which I believe emulates Internet Explorer. At least I think it tries to do so. I’m not quite sure of the technical details behind their browser, but I’ve had very good luck with it other than these “not responding” issues. I don’t use Google Chrome.
I’ve often read that the 2 browsers which are most accessible with the 2 screen readers I use are Internet Explorer and Firefox. Just like I never respond to unsolicited sales offers, I never respond to unsolicited Program Upgrades or new utility installations, or any program installation. The only exception to the rule is for Windows updates (usually security upgrades) and Norton upgrades. For the past few months my PC has been freezing up and I have been informed that “Windows Explorer is not Responding. Check and Restart”.
Usually a Reatart will resolve the problem. Worse case I turn off the PC, wait a few minutes, and then power up. I started thinking that it was when I was when I was running a Video Editor, but I know that is not always the case. There are times when I can go a week without a problem. Searches for a solution usually presented fixes to Internet Explorer, with many recommending a program Download.
Like I said above, I do not install unsolicited programs. A few times in a moment of weekness I accepted the offered solution, usually with regrets within a week. Your recent letter on reinstalling IE caught my attention. Do you think that this is the thing for me? I have AMD thus need definite contrast and IE 10 had VERY spidery type. Nothing fixed it, even Microsoft/ I have messed with computers since Adam and tapes, and have worked to learn from mistakes.
Decided to try 11 – BAD MISTAKE! I have 36″ monitor saw the check mark and routinely removed it HAH! And I got a bingbar search which eats all tabs and settings (and is disabled,) in Firefox and IE which complains mightily I have wrong version – so update! I have tried every single idea online including registry one which wont work cause bing is not where the program tells you to remove from. So, I will not divulge the browser still uncontaminated in case. I did as this removal of ie suggests, haven’t yet checked if it successful.
I sure would be pleased if you had a way to remove that freaking bing thing, Revo cant see it and there it sits under Microsoft, I am suspecting it has a virus, but comodo, super antivirus don’t recognize anything. Thanks for this particular topic today.
Fingers crossed it works. Thank you Hellen E. At one time or another I have experienced all of the problems the previous commenters have mentioned. On all my machines (2 desktops, 3 notebooks) I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Superantispyware together. They do not get in each others way nor slow down my machines. I have seen Browser not responding messages on both Chrome and IE. It has always been a piece of malware and MalWarebytes always finds and eliminates it.
I have also had good success using the method Leo recommends here. Uncheck the windows features button in Control Panel and then Panel/Programs. I always have Chrome installed and regularly switch between browsers. After I remove IE I download the new version like Leo suggests.
I have been using IE 11 on an AMD 64 bit Win 7 machine and an Intel Atom 32 bit notebook for a few weeks with no issues. I’d suggest upgrading to the newest version of IE for those of you with problems related to IE 9 and 10.
There have been a lot of improvements since those products were released. I am still running XP SP2 (although at onepoint I did have SP3 installed- part of SP3 might still be installed, but my system info say’s it is SP2.) and have upgraded over the years from IE6 to 7 & 8, but at some point I managed stupidly to uninstall the ‘base’ IE package. Subsequent attempts to reinstall an IE package of any type fails, as the IE update & patch folders (and their contents) for 6, 7 & 8 remain in the Windows folder, and fool the installer into cancelling an IE install of any kind. How could/should I try to fix this on my laptop?
Who’s CD drive’s doesn’t read discs anymore to repair from. I was thinking of maybe deleting the IE 6, 7 & 8 folders (I mentioned earlier that are within the WINDOWS folder) and trying to install IE that way afterwards – but I am unsure if the base IE that was uninstalled might be ‘unique’ files – or what IE version to start with as a ‘base’ to install from, and would some form of registry edit be possibly needed too/either. Any help or advice would be appreciated, if any, thanks 🙂. Thanks for your comments – very helpful indeed! However, here is a little glitch that I found My laptop had become horribly slow, and I was running both Chrome and IE11. I like Chrome (at least, I like it on my laptop, but it is not too reliable on my android phone!). Anyway, I got the crazy idea to delete IE11 after trying all the other fixes to speed up my laptop (sort of thinking I knew what I was doing!!).
So, I did it (holding my breath). All was well.
But, I now find that I would like to have IE11 back again. And, here’s the problem – when I go to the Microsoft Website to try to dowload it, it seems to recognize that I have a more recent version of IE already installed (even though I thought I had deleted it), and the installation will not proceed.
So, I’ve followed your Approach 1 above. I’m about to try it. I am having the same problem. Windows Live Mail stopped working.
I found it was somehow tied to Internet Explorer (which I had, but didn’t use as I prefer Chrome). I tried to open IE 11 and it opened for a split second and closed again immediately. I tried to turn off and turn on again in Windows features. I also uninstalled the IE 11 update and then tried to reinstall IE 11 from the Microsoft website. All I got was an error message that it couldn’t finish installation because a more recent version was already installed on my computer.
I am frustrated because I can only receive email on Windows Live Mail. I can’t print from email, can’t reply or forward, and can’t open a new email. I’d greatly appreciate any other suggestions. I was having probs ever since getting Internet Explorer 11 (windows7) So I went back to IE 10 Again probs So I went to IE 9 No more probs Hurrah But now I have been warned that IE 9 is no longer supported so best to upgrade So ok lets try IE 11 again After going to the microsoft site it all starting to load, I though fine but no it failed to load properly I was told to try turning off IE 9 as its only an upgrade and its really IE 8 ( so I did by using windows features off and on) ( story goes that you cant upgrade from an upgrade only ) so I unticked the box But still no joy.
I tried IE 10 but same thing So I went back to the box to re tick it. Box is gone, nothing there I tried to put IE 8 on but no joy So now what? I cant tick a box thats not there and I cant download IE so what do I do? They say you can’t really get rid of IE as its part of windows so how in the heck did I lose it without trying? And how do I get IE back onto my computer? Should I try a system restore?
Yes I tried Chrome but found it a bit in your face Firefox had rave reviews but although fine enough I soon found it a bit sluggish very jerky I am now on Opera which is lovely and smooth and is a joy for scrolling and fast clicking. Thing is when, as I suppose we all will soon, move to windows 10 does me having somehow lost IE Will it cause probs?
Will I get the new IE now called Edge without any hassle or should I continue to get back IE? I hate to use System restore unless its really necessary. As you say I can live without it, as so many do, but would it be better for upgrading to 10 to have it somewhere? When I went to microsoft and clicked to find out what IE I have, it said “you don’t have it.” So they could not detect it anywhere on my system, will this cause probs with updating windows?
The people who installed Windows 7 (64bit professional, German) on my virgin hard drive did not install (or at least, did not activate!) Internet Explorer, only Firefox. So I subsequently downloaded and installed I.E. Subsequently, ALL FOUR of my browsers (Chrome; Chromodo; Firefox; and Internet Explorer 11) had all become corrupted with homepage re-directs (bing; and esp., “safebrowsing.biz”!) which it was impossible to locate or eliminate.
So I decided to completely uninstall, AND remove ALL the remaining directories pertaining to any of these four browsers. (Not having yet discovered and read your article, I assumed that any Internet Explorer directories I found had all been created when I myself had downloaded and installed I.E. 11, and could safely be deleted again, even if the uninstaller (CCleaner) had failed to completely do so, just as it had also not deleted all of the Firefox, Google, and Comodo directories. Some Internet Explorer files and directories, however, could not be erased. I finally also did a system restore.
(and then suddenly found I now had Internet Explorer 8! So I similarly uninstalled and deleted as many of its traces as I could.) And I then again tried to re-install the same copy of Internet Explorer 11 (which I had previously downloaded and saved a backup copy of before running and installing it, just two weeks previously.) But now, the installation failed to complete, and instead gave me an error message, and every time I try to run a new installer (of what purports to be the latest version of Internet Explorer 11!) I only ever get the following message: “Die Installation von Internet Explorer wurde nicht abgeschlossen. Setup kann nicht fortgesetzt werden. Da eine neuere Version von Internet Explorer auf dem Computer installiert ist.” translation: “The Installation of Internet Explorer was not completed. Setup cannot be continued because a more recent version of Internet explorer is installed on the computer.” How can I get rid of whatever is blocking the installation, and/or re-add whatever windows components I shouldn’t have deleted, without re-insatalling windows all over again? Leo thank you SO MUCH!!
I updated Windows 10 and for whatever reason Internet Explorer was turned off. I didn’t realize this until my hyperlinks in Outlook stopped working. After doing some research online, I learned IE was needed, but I could no longer find IE when I searched my apps. I called Microsoft Support and they were of no help whatsoever. I reinstalled Windows 10 twice because I thought I no longer had IE. I also did a system restore but that didn’t help either.
The Fixit link Microsoft provides for this problem doesn’t work on Windows 10. Turns out I did have IE, but it was turned off. The only reason I figured this out was because of your help above so thanks again!! My hyperlinks are working like they used to:).

Advertisement Choosing your Internet browser is not a decision to be taken lightly, yet it is an issue that very few users give careful consideration to. It’s an ironic fact that while Mac and Windows users will argue over many aspects of their operating systems, they both typically agree that the two default browsers are useless. Thinking about using Safari on your Mac, but worried you might lose features and bookmarks? Tom jones greatest hits rediscovered free download. Here's a quick guide to comfortably moving to Apple's web browser, without missing out., unwieldy, and insecure, and these days most people who buy a new computer make a headlong dash to Google Chrome’s download page without further thought.
Install Internet Explorer App
We’ve looked at the surprising It's not easy to switch browsers, but unperturbed, I launched myself into the world of Steve Jobs – iTunes, iWork, iCloud, and, significantly – Safari. Here's what I wish I'd known first. – but what about Internet Explorer? Is it really that bad, or does it offer a viable alternative to Mac owners? Is it even possible to run the flagship Microsoft browser on an OSX machine? Read on to find out How to Install Internet Explorer on a Mac Microsoft haven’t released an official Mac edition of Internet Explorer since version 5.2.3 in 2005, but that doesn’t mean you can’t Internet Explorer 11 was just launched with Windows 8.1. It has been available as a Release Preview on Windows 7 for a while, but now Microsoft is ready to roll out the final version to.
On your machine. Whereas it’s possible to use various virtual environments and Boot Camp to get it running, the fastest and simplest way to do it is by using a program called WineBottler. Nonetheless, we’ll run through the two most common methods – WineBottler and VirtualBox. WineBottler Like To help answer your questions, we'll take a look at 10 popular Windows applications and whether you have options for them in Linux., the software enables you run a range of without worrying about the hassle of booting multiple operating systems or splashing out on an expensive Windows license. The latest available release is Internet Explorer 8.
Select it and click on “Install”, then choose where you want to save it (typically the application folder) – WineBottler will take care of the rest. Once the process has finished, just launch the newly installed app from wherever you chose to save it and you’re ready to go. VirtualBox VirtualBox, which is developed by Oracle and free to use, lets you run various operating systems in a Virtual machines allow you to run other operating systems on your current computer. Here's what you should know about them.
Internet Explorer 11 Only – Windows 7 image curl -s IEVMSVERSIONS='11' bash Internet Explorer 10 Only curl -s IEVMSVERSIONS='10' bash Internet Explorer 9 Only curl -s IEVMSVERSIONS='9' bash Internet Explorer 8 Only – Windows XP, small Image curl -s IEVMSVERSIONS='8' bash Internet Explorer 7 Only Windows XP, small Image curl -s IEVMSVERSIONS='7' bash It’s worth mentioning that people with older Macs should probably choose a version that uses Windows XP – although it’s old and unsupported it will suffice for small usage, and will be much less of a drain on your system’s resources. That’s it – wait for the file to download (sometimes up to two hours), and run the virtual machine. You’ll be prompted to install the updates and turn on automatic updates, (neither of which are strictly necessary), then you’ll be presented with the Windows desktop along with the version of Internet Explorer than you selected from the list above.
Why Use Internet Explorer on a Mac? It’s all well-and-good installing Internet Explorer on your Mac, but why should you?
What benefits does it bring? The most obvious benefit is to help synchronise your life between multiple machines. Whether or not you actually like Microsoft’s offering, there are a huge number of people who are forced to use Internet Explorer all day in their offices only to go home at night to their Macs with no way to continue their sessions or easily migrate their data. If you’re one of those people, having the same browser on all your frequently used machines could remove a huge headache. Secondly, there is the issue of compatibility. Microsoft no longer has to offer EU Windows users a choice of browsers.
Moreover, Microsoft is working on a new browser. Nevertheless, we'll show you how to install your favorite browser without touching IE. On the planet. Despite losing ground to Google Chrome in recent years, recent figures suggest that 48 percent of all devices which access the Internet do so by using the long-standing browser, and that figure jumps to 58 percent when you only consider desktop users. It means there are many websites that were specifically – certainly websites that were published pre-2010, the year the Chrome started its meteoric rise. It’s often the case that IE renders these older sites much more reliably than some of its competitors, and due to its ActiveX technology it’s also often simpler to use it with business-related sites such as Webex or HTML IT consoles like Kaseya.
There is a school of thought that suggests you should always have at least two browsers installed, and whether you choose to make Safari, Chrome, or Firefox your primary tool, there are few better options than Internet Explorer as a backup. Although its reputation remains superficially poor, there is no browser out there that loads Javascript as quickly as IE does, or reliably renders pages as consistently as IE. Would You Convert to IE?
Would you consider making the switch to Internet Explorer? If not, why not? Perhaps you’ve already installed Microsoft’s browser on your Mac and you use it regularly? If you have, we’d love to hear about your experiences. Maybe you’re of the school of thought that whatever the benefits you won’t install it until Microsoft releases an official native version? Whatever your situation we’d love to hear from you. Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.
